1960's Or Late 1950's Lady Sheaffer

[JMAuty]

My mother recently recounted how she lost her Lady Sheaffer and I thought I would try to surprise her by finding the same model. She remembers it was a gift in the early-mid 1960's. It was a lady Sheaffer and was blue in colour with a black tortoiseshell effect. Any ideas as to the model or where to locate one would be very much appreciated.

Sheaffer chart attached showing Lady Sheaffers from about the right time, nothing that I can recall with a black tortoiseshell pattern but other FPNer may have a better memory than mine.

 

In terms of where to find one - or something similar - then there is an ebay sale coming up for a Lady Sheaffer :

But I would also suggest that you call Gary at FG Thomas in Sheffield who is a Sheaffer expert together with a link to the excellent Sheaffer targa site:

Maybe she would recognize it from this ad someone sent me once when I was trying to identify a pen.
