1952 - 1959 Sheaffer Lifetime Sentinel Fountain Pen; Touchdown Snorkel

For simplicity, let's just call it a Snorkel Sentinel.

 

Hard to tell from the photos, but I think it's black. If it's restored and excellent, you might be successful bidding somewhere in the range of $75 to $100.

 

Restoration would cost you about $40, so if it's excellent and unrestored, do the math.

 

The stainless steel caps are often dented, so ask the seller if the cap has any dents before bidding. You should be able to find an excellent Sentinel with a perfect cap in the price range I mentioned above. It could take time and a few tries.

Touchdown and Snorkel are two entirely different filling mechanisms. Which is it?

The snorkel tube is visible in some of the pictures.
