Sheaffer Flat Top Black & Pearl Fountain Pen, Lifetime Broad Stub Nib, Rainbow

Sheaffer Lifetime White Dot fountain pen, flat top design, in black and pearl Radite, m. Anufactured approximately 1924 or 1925. The nib is a Sheaffer Lifetime 14k broad stub, very hard to find.

This pen sat untouched for years, long enough for the 14k gold to develop a beautiful surface toning toward the nib base. This rainbow patina could be easily wiped away with a polishing cloth if desired, but some buyers will prefer it untouched. The nib is an excellent broad stub, hard to find in pens of this vintage.

The iridium has nice rounded edges, so it writes smoothly without catching. I would not call it flexible, but the nib has a responsiveness, becoming more generous when you lean into the curves. This pen is in excellent condition, with no chips, no hairlines, no brassing of the gold filled trim, not even on the ball of the clip. The pen is a beauty, with only very light signs of careful use. It has a new ink sac, and a touch of silicone grease where the lever contacts the pressure bar.

I've written several pages with this pen, and it performed perfectly, delivering ink smoothly and predictably, with no hiccups or surprises. Black and Pearl Sheaffers in this combination of color, condition, and scarce nib are rarely offered. Don't miss out on this one. Be sure to watch our future listings.
