Sheaffer Flat Top White Dot
Here is a nice Sheaffers White Dot with Lifetime nib from the 1920s. It is made of jade green Radite plastic. Like most pens made of this material, the color has altered a bit over time. More so on the barrel than the cap. The gold trim is in very good condition with just two small spots of brassing on the ball of the clip and two very tiny spots on the edge of the band. The lever looks pretty good. It has the name “Ira Blomquist” etched into the barrel. The 14kt. Sheaffer Lifetime nib is in great condition and writes as a smooth XF with a decent flow of ink. Wet but not too wet. It is a great example of the Sheaffer flat top vest pens of this era.
