Condition:Behold a black Sheaffer Lifetime Balance fountain pen that’s traveled through time, and possibly a few wormholes, to land gently in your palm. Measuring a compact 4 7/8 inches, with a standard girth of .46", this pen may be shorter in length but it packs vintage charisma like a UFO packs little green men. It has a firm gold-filled clip, the lever and cap band have light patina of wear. The barrel imprinp is sharp and readable and the white dot, remains intact, a glowing moon on black enamel. Peer through the visulated section and you’ll catch a faint trace of its original yellow coloring. There’s a bit of black wear on the section’s interior. The pen is fitted with a fine-to-medium 14k two-tone Lifetime nib, crisply engraved with ample tipping material, ready to glide across paper like a saucer over Roswell. Cleaned, ra new ink sac installed, and tested. The pen is prepped for launch, just add ink and chart your course.
