Isn't that pic like putting matter and anti-matter next to each other?

HA! So far, George and Walter are getting along. That's the lamp that had 8 coats of paint.

Hehe. Hey, I remember the lamp! How about favoring us with a pic or two, post-restoration?

Not at all. I December 1928 Sheaffer along with Parker and Wahl formed the Pen Desk Set Company which remained until 1950.
