Vintage Pens: Sheaffer O/S Balance Demonstrator

Description

If you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime grail pen. A true grail-quest pen. This oversized Sheaffer Balance Demonstrator might be it. This beauty is something we have never seen before and likely something we will never see again. No cracks. No matter what your screen indicates, it has discolored to a pale yellow-green. The section jiggles a little. There a touch of brassing on the trim. Possibly a touch of krazing at the ends…could also just be the way things come together on the insides. We don’t know if the 14k gold Secretary nib is original…but who cares. That nib alone is quite rare. It has a fresh ink sac. However, we’d never use it. It would be the centerpiece of our museum display…if we had a museum display. We dipped the nib, and it writes a nice medium line with light feedback. 14.1cm capped.
