Up for bid is a vintage SHEAFFER’S snorkel fountain pen in black with gold plated mounts in its original box.  The pen is 5 5/8 inches long, with a signed “SHEAFFER’S” clip and matching cap band.  The fountain pen has a snorkel fill mechanism and seems to work; I did clean out a lot of dried ink. The Sheaffer’s nib is 2-tone 14K gold as shown.  The pen has not been monogrammed.  It is marked on the barrel “0836” over the standard Sheaffer’s marks as shown.  The pen comes with its original gold topped paper box

Condition on the pen is fairly good.  I cleaned it out and it seems to fill correctly, though I did not try it with any ink.  The nib looks good.  The box lid has some corner tears, and there are some test signatures on the back as shown.  A classic pen.
