17211: Sheaffer 3 Self-Filling: mottled hard rubber lever-filler, 13.7 cm long, nickel plated trim, narrow feed, #3 Self Filling nib; imprints notably crisp, spots of flaking to plating on clip (actually an indication of notable preservation: on most pens of this age, the nickel plating is completely gone, only the nickel silver base material is visible).
DATE: c. 1915 • CONDITION: fine-exc • NIB: extra-fine flex • $985
17201: Sheaffer oversize Lifetime Balance: jade green lever-filler, 14.5 cm long, early extra-long model with short section, pointed barrel end, "PAT'D - PAT.
