SH1871 Sheaffer 300 Ballpoint and Pencil Set, boxed.

Date: c2010s

Size: Length - 142mm.

This is an example the recently retired Sheaffer 300 ballpoint and pencil.  This is the polished chrome cap and barrel model.  Both pen and pencil are in excellent condition, possibly even unused and with no damage at all that I could find.  They are large pens with a good heft.  The caps have a tapered crown with the pocket clip mounted high.  This is pierced with the Sheaffer White Dot at the shoulder and it is spring-loaded as well.  Around the cap lips are the imprints. 

Ballpoint

This is a retractable ballpoint that works by twisting the cap.  You can also unscrew the cap in order to change the refill.  It is currently fitted with its original Sheaffer refill in blue that still works perfectly. 

Pencil

The point is chrome plated.  This is a "click to advance" pencil - you twist the cap to advance the 0.7mm lead. 

Box

The box is one of Sheaffer's fabulous solid wood boxes with a lacquer outer and it is stunning.  Inside it is lined with cream-coloured faux leather.  It is also in excellent condition. 

I have fully serviced this set.  I have installed a fresh 0.7mm lead in the pencil and it is working perfectly.
