Sheaffer Fountain Pen Thrift Store Steal

Hello all, since joining this forum I had wanted to post a nice pen that I found for a steal at a thrift shop.

I don’t know much about pens, but I do know that it’s not a super expensive pen like MontBlanc or others... but I really liked it and it was super cheap

From what I asume, it looks like it’s a white dot rainbow fountain pen.

Anyway, here are some pics...

Can you guess how much I paid for it????

Bought it for $7.31

Like 4 years ago

And I haven’t used it yet, everything looks brand new

One day I’ll use it, MAYBE haha

I mean as a school teacher there isn’t really anything that I need a nice pen for, though I did appreciate a nice pen when I was in college for taking notes and everything

But in my job, a student can steal your pen like once a week lol

Takes about 10-15years for Sheaffer ink cartridges to evaporate to half :)

It has a factory stub nib. Haven't inked it as of now, but will try to post a writing sample after I do.
