It was dirty. After cleaning, I filled it with ink, and for my surprise, it works!! No leaking, write smooth and soft. Delightful writer!

I'd say you did just great. Of course, it helps to be able to do your own restorations. Watch out for Snorkels. They can be addictive.

#11221 New old Sheaffer's that arrived last week.

Posted by Fábio Venhorst on 15 December 2011 - 03:34 PM in SHEAFFER (USA "Big Five")

Very nice. Two Statesman pens and one Valiant, all from roughly 1945-1947.

I have accumulated quite a large number of these during the last few years and enjoy seeing nice examples.

Here is an early-style Carmine Valiant in rather nice condition.

#9441 Sheaffer's Snorkel

Posted by Fábio Venhorst on 11 October 2011 - 02:08 PM in SHEAFFER (USA "Big Five")

A nice Snorkel.

I have online a rough draft of a Sheaffer Snorkel guide. Still needs some photos added and needs couple corrections, but it covers most of the ground with a strong emphasis on collecting the series

Sheaffer Snorkel Guide. Vacumania

#9302 Hello!

Posted by Fábio Venhorst on 03 October 2011 - 12:35 PM in Say Hello!

Hi, I'm from Brazil and found this forum on Google when I was searching about fountain pens.
I'm a fountain pen lover and like so much of Sheaffer's, above all the design of Triumph nib. I've got a Sheffer's Snorkel recently on ebay and I,'m very happy with it. Posted Image
