You don't need to spend a fortune for an amazing vintage pen. Our Sheaffer Imperial is the perfect case in point. This is the 1980s rendition of a pen that first saw light in the 1960s, so it squeaks in as a vintage pen. Nevertheless, it has a buttery smooth 14k inlaid gold nib that writes better than just about any of the cheap Chinese pens that are so popular. It comes with its original squeeze-bar converter but takes modern Sheaffer converters and cartridges. Elegant black-and-gold design shows very little damage from use. No cracks nor deep scratches. It might just be your favorite new daily writer. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.5cm capped.
