Saratoga saw a non-white-dot cap, open two-tone gold nib and
"Sheaffer's" clip. This one is superb, with original model/price tag. |

| COMMENTS:
Valiant features a white-dot plastic cap and gold tubular (Triumph)
nib. Very clean, it is noted the two tone effect is no longer
present on the gold nib. One nice feature of this "better" color
is the matching plastic (vs. black) for the gripping section. |

| COMMENTS: Sheaffer's massively successful "51" fighter during the 1950's was produced in an impressive array of colors and trim. This one writes a nice smooth line with the expected two tone conical (Triumph) nib. Pens with solid gold cap-bands are well less common than the average Snork. The charm of Signature, vs the wider gold-band Autograph, is that Signature can be had in colors other than black. | |||

| COMMENTS: Sheaffer's massively successful "51" fighter during the 1950's was produced in an impressive array of colors and trim.The line is between Fine and Medium to my eye. Pens with solid gold cap-bands are well less common than the average Snork. This one writes a nice smooth line with the expected two tone conical (Triumph) nib. The charm of Signature, vs the wider gold-band Autograph, is that Signature can be had in colors other than black. The pencil (tarnish not brassing on clip- i'll wipe it off) is included as it was part of the original set, and has same name engraved, but has lost part of its white dot (El Zorno probably could replace, if you wanted). | |||

| COMMENTS:
A special pen. Like most out there the other side of the
barrel
is stamped with the source of the load, Clyde Minich in this
case. These often come seriously flawed. This one lacks those
flaws. The white trim (nasty once pitted and worn) is very crisp.
No discoloration is present of the at risk red celluloid. No
cracks. Great threads. Nice imprint. Couple light marks on
the
plastic (can sort of see the worst of it in the picture down by the
blind end). An uncommon Balance in uncommon condition. |

COMMENTS: An
early Balance showing the glory of Jade celluloid. The pen overall is
very clean, noting just a bit of the nearly always seen clip-ball
brassing. Imprint is great. Color is outstanding, one of the best Jades
i've had the pleasure to offer. Jade is one of the plastics found
overwhelmingly with severe discoloration. Clean jade is scarce
and desirable. I collect Jade pens and in ten years have acquired
perhaps 40 superb examples in total. Here's a peek at "typical"
vs "excellent" Jade Sheaffers, noting this is the later "blue/green" Jade. |
