SOLD: Ebonized Pearl Sheaffer Balance Flex Nib

_MG_9553A beautiful, thin, standard length Sheaffer Balance in Ebonized Pearl. It’s a lever fill with chrome trim. There is significant brassing on the lever, a little on the cap band, and some on the clip. The cap and barrel have been lightly polished and a new sac has been installed. There are no cracks or chips or gouges anywhere on the pen. It’s in very good condition except for the chrome hardware.

_MG_9554This pen was made in Canada sometime between 1934-1939. The barrel imprint reads “W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO.” Next line “(OF CANADA LTD.) TORONTO, ONT. PAT”. Next line is hard to read but looks like “DEC10 12-JAN 27-OCT20-NOV” with several more digits after the “NOV” that I can’t make out.
