#43650 CELLULOID GOING BAD?

Posted by wekiva98 on 26 September 2016 - 06:46 AM in SHEAFFER (USA "Big Five")

I was going through my pen trays Sunday and I came upon a black Sheaffer balance that looked strange. The barrel had developed a whitish coating since I last looked at it (probably a year or more). I quickly plucked it out of the tray and took it into another room. I'm thinking of salvaging the section/feed/nib, lever, pressure bar and cap (which shows no discoloring) and throwing out the rest. Does this sound like a good course of action?




#43087 Imperial Coronet Pencil

Posted by wekiva98 on 19 March 2016 - 08:23 PM in PARKER: (USA "Big Five")

The question in my mind is always, "What hapened to the pen?" Part of me doubts someone originally bought that expensive pencil all by itself...




#42316 A Sheaffer. Is No One Paying Attention Anymore?

Posted by wekiva98 on 03 October 2015 - 09:43 PM in Elements of Collecting: Hunting, Valuing and Polemicizing

When I saw it, I wondered about the pattern on the bands. Don't know enough about non-cataloged bands to know if these are legit or a one-off by a jeweler who was asked to add new initials. They're pretty, though.
