Somewhere, someone wrote recently about how (relatively) common it is to find near-mint pen sets out there, and why it happens. I think I have one here. I recenly bought this set on eBay and have been contemplating the reasons why it's still in such good shape - check out the transparency of the vistulated section. My theory is that Constance Ann Miller was given this pen, maybe when she graduated, and didn't like it. Perhaps the full size was uncomfortable to hold, I know the nib was awful and scratchy (not so now), but it must have sat, almost unused from 1936 or so till now. When I restored it, the original sac marked Sheaffers Anode was still attached and when I flushed it out, it was almost ink-free. Anyway despite the personalization, I love this set and paid $46 for it - how'd I do?
