Handwritten Post – Black
I came across a bottle of Sheaffer Skrip Black, in the older style inkwell glass bottle. I love these bottles, and the black ink inside is pretty nice, too. I’m always looking for a true black – one without shading – just a true, solid black. Do you have a favorite black? Please share it so I can check it out!
Featured Pens – Sheaffer 500 Balance Set
If the previous Sheaffer was not the right color for you, this 1937 500 Feather-Touch lever-filler Balance set is so stunning. The brown striped material is so rich and warm, complete with gold-filled trim and a visualated section. The fountain pen has a two-toned, fine nib. This is a new-old-stock, mint in original box. This beautiful set is still available for $150 in Catalog #72. (Catalog #72 is 10% off all remaining items right now!)
Featured Pens – Sheaffer Feather-Touch
This 1936 #5 Feather-Touch lever-filler Balance set is the beautiful ebonized pearl. The trim is gold-filled, which warmly complements the material of the cap and barrel.

Sheaffer claims the plating on the slit-wall could improve ink flow. (See Richard Binder’s glossary for more information.) This set is sold, but keep an …
Handwritten Post: Sheaffer Skrip King’s Gold
I have read conservative recommendations on the life span of an ink: one year. Wow. I have definitely used inks longer than one year, and own inks that are much older than one year old! If it doesn’t smell really weird, and if is clean (doesn’t have chunks or slime in it), it’s very likely perfectly okay. I like Sheaffer Skrip King’s Gold – it’s a legible yellow that shades nicely when used with a flex …
Desk Sets
Not all vintage pens were made to be carried in a pocket or purse. Desk pens are long, tapered pens normally held in a base, nib down, and of course are designed to sit on a desk. Many companies made desk sets and designs range from the very simple to extremely ornate. The base is heavy to keep the desk set in place. Below are some Conklin, Waterman, and Parker desk sets. Other manufacturers include Esterbrook, Sheaffer, …
