I believe Pat had the pencil in one of his trays but I did not see the pen.
Fun thread; it makes me want to expand my range but that is the last thing I need

I only have a few Tuckies but I have one pen to add that I don't think I've seen represented yet:

Lady II, the tuckaway version of the Sovereign. On the left, striped section/visulated barrel in 5 colors, on the right 2, examples with opaque barrel/internal tube filler. The brown one on the right has the white dot on the end of the cap.

Matt,
Are you sure the brown pen with dot on the top of the cap has an internal filler tube? My experience with pens from this era with dot on the top of the cap, opaque barrel and visulated section don't have the internal tube. Gerry Berg made a post about these pens and called them hybrids. I don't have any Tuckies of this type to check but all my Triumph vac-fillers with these features are without the internal tube.

I'll check. Think I have 2-3 different models w/ the white dot on top. Maybe that's why the white dot is on the top?

Matt -
To me the neatest part of what you just posted is your father's 1948 high school graduation pen. Without knowing that, it was the pen in the top photo that caught my eye and I then went to your write-up to catch what you had to say about it - a very neat pen and great that you have it. Thanks for all of the posting but particularly for posting a pen with that kind of provenance.
Best,
Pat

I added a few significant Tuckies to my small collection this year:
The brown striated clipless was a buy-it-now on eBay with the 14kt band noted in the description and shown in the images. The clipped brown striated set was also from eBay but the 14kt parts were not noted but clear in the images. I was surprised that there was so little competition for the set. Based on feedback from showing these around a bit they are not so common. I'm curious if there are other Autograph Tuckies in brown, or other non-black colors, known?
Happy holidays!

The 1951 Sheaffer "Complete Service Policy" in the PCA Library seems to have all the identification charts found in the 1947 Workbook and is available to anyone with a PCA membership. The 1951 continues to overlook the Triumph and Triumph Tuckaway Autographs (plus the military-clip Service Autograph, among others), but lists the full size post-war Autograph in black only for lever fill and both black and brown stripe for the plunger fill.
The post-war Autograph Tuckaway is listed in black, brown stripe, and Forticel burnt umber.
Those brown stripers are amazing!

I have this Tuckaway first version that puzzles me. It has the threaded but flat-topped back end and there is no white dot. The pen came in its original Sheaffer Tuckaway (eg small size) clamshell box. The cap lip has the common imprint that includes "Made in USA", so it likely is not a Canadian variant. Has anybody seen this Tuckaway version before?
