Sheaffer Cartridge Pen With Conical "triumph" Nib


AAAndrew

Recommended Posts

I picked this up at an antiques store yesterday. It was in with a bunch of school pens. But it's the first I've seen with a conical nib rather than an open nib.

 

Looked in the Sheaffer Family Album but didn't find it there. Any clue?

 

Thanks,

 

Andrew

The early cartridge pens with rounded ends came in some different varieties. Some had plastic caps, some had conical nibs. They aren't seen nearly as often but they are out there.

It looks like the same one I posted last week. A member identified it as one of the many "Skripsert" varieties. I like mine very much!

Cool! I was on vacation last week and missed the right posts, I guess.

 

Thanks!

I think it might be a Skripsert 500 from the late 50's.

If it's got a gold nib and cap it's an 875 Cartridge Pen, if chrome and a palladium silver nib, it's a 500 Cartridge Pen, that's the names used in the August, 1959 catalog and Service Manual. They did call them Skripserts in advertising, which the earliest I have is 1958. I have ads for them going out to at least 1960.
