Need Help Identifying Which Sheaffer Model This Is

[YoccosFan]

Hello folks,

 

I am wondering if someone can help me identify which model of Sheaffer Fountain Pen this is. It is a white dot with a short clip and is marked "WA Sheaffer Pen Fort Madison Iowa" with 14K nib. Thanks in advance.

By your description of the clip it may be a Tuckaway pen from the late 40's. What filling systim doies it have? A lever fill or vac fill (end cap with a thin plunger) are most likely. The two tone conical nib is a style that was carried on with the snorkel pens in the mid 50's.

If it is exceedingly short, it could be a Tuckaway. I don't know for sure if those had the Triumph nib, though, someone else will probably be able to give you a better idea.

It is a vac fill. It measures 4 7/8" in length. I attached one more picture. Thanks.

Definitely a Tuckaway, no other pens had that clip.
