1935 Black Sheaffer Balance Statesman - Medium point

1935 is the year Sheaffer introduced their vacuum filler in the Balance line. It is the last year they made Balance pens with a humped clip. That makes this pen easy to date. You'd never guess this pen is 90 years old. The barrel transparency is nearly as good as when new. Complete with the original light green hue. The fat nib is glorious, smooth, and wet.  LengthCapped - 130 mm (5.1”)Uncapped - 120 mm (4.7”)Posted - 150 mm (5.9”)DiameterCap - 13.3 mm (0.53”)Barrel - 11.5 mm (0.45”) FillerVacuum-Fil NibMedium
