An enormous, all-metal display fountain pen made by the famous American pen company Sheaffer. Created to promote their Nostalgia range of gold and silver filigree and black enameled fountain pens released in the 1970s. The barrel and cap of the pen is realistically modeled as an exact replica of the original, right down to the stamped 14K 585 gold "nib," clip, and distinctive "white dot" logo of the brand. The center band is stamped SHEAFFERS as is the nib. Presented in a black calfskin presentation case. American, circa 1970. Condition note: Some marks to the leather of the outer case.

The Sheaffer Pen Corp. was founded by Walter A. Sheaffer, an Iowa jeweller in 1913, and remains one of the best known fine pen brands in the world. Distinctive by its use of a white dot originally promoted in 1924, this design detail still features on all Sheaffer pen designs and was initially intended as an indicator that the pens were "unconditionally guaranteed for a lifetime."

Length: 32 in. (82 cm). Diameter: approximately 3.5 in. (9 cm) at widest point.
