Cleaned a drawer & found a Sheaffer Connoisseur in its box with all the trimmings.

Do I have something here?

It's been in the drawer for years. I got it as a present, used it a few times, put it away and forgot about it. It's in flat out perfect condition. The box looks new. The pen hasn't got a scratch or a mar on it. Can't find the cartridges that came with it but the gizmo that lets you pull up ink from a bottle sits untouched in the box. Even the warranty card is in the box. Shame to let this pen sit in that lonely drawer.

I have seen very few posts on Sheaffer pens.

Sounds like a nice pen... that gizmo is what we call a converter and someone out there would make a good home for it. Although you could always see if maybe you could fall in love with it all over again


Welcome to the Nib Bob

Wait you teach the photography and we don't even get a picture of the pen...

Well I never lol

Can we see it please ?

That was quick...

Pens have never been my thing. Photography is another story. Teaching in the USA is not supportive of two expensive hobbies.

OK, hang on, I'll take a picture...

Of the pen please

Sorry for the delay. My better half said it was dinner time...











...flounder, seafood stuffing, asparagus, and a Smithwick's...

Super nice...great find. Something similar happened to me with a Fat Boy razor...what a prize that was.

14k gold nib, nice premium grade pen.

Someone must have liked you to give you that one

That looks like a very nice pen. What a shame you haven't used it, yet!

It is a great pen Bob you sure we can't talk you into keeping it for yourself ? Be great for taking notes for shots
Could we tempt you to try it out for a little while.. maybe send you some ink for that converter to give it a fair chance ?

there's no need to gloat.

Classy pen, one of Sheaffer's modern greats! Another member found one just like it only last month. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...isitions-for-March-2013?p=4930936#post4930936

Gloat...my better half of over 37 years is somewhat fond of me. I can't believe she's let me hang around this long...



Bob

Wow that's a nice pen. Wish my desk drawer had cool things like that. You really could use it everyday for taking notes or writing pretty much anything. On top of that you can vary your ink colors.

That member is always bragging about his pen finds in the wild.

Nice discovery, Bob!

I'm dying to know, [MENTION=60832]Bob L.[/MENTION] , do you still have the pen and have you used it since this post?

I still use mine, that's for sure.

I received mine as a gift 30+ years ago. Picked it up again two years ago. My favorite. Another heirloom is a Parker 75.
