Hey, just want to say I just pulled my fourth pen out of the mailbox today it’s a vintage 1970’s Sheaffer pen. Unsure of the model but it’s a green colored pen. I test wrote with it today and it was an amazing experience.

Congratulations on the new pen. Sheaffer did make some excellent pens during that time period and one that still writes well is a real treat. Did you purchase it from a dealer?

Yes, I got it from ebay. The model name is a Matte Fashion. That’s what I just saw on the ebay listing.

Ah, eBay. It was my main source for vintage pens years ago. Not all were in good condition and a few sellers misrepresented their offerings. With a little practice, I learned to spot what would suit my needs. It sounds like you have learned how to do that as well.
Enjoy your new pen. It looks like a sturdy model that should last a very long time.

I think Im getting the fountain pen fever. I ordered another pen, this time the iconic Parker 51. Have you ever wrote with one? If so how well does it write?

That’s a great pen. I have owned several and enjoyed both the Vacumatcs and the Aeros. They write very well and are very comfortable in the hand. Good choice!

Hey. Got my Parker 51 pen. It’s the 91A version. I have a question, is that vacumatc or the Aero version? Thanks.
