Sheaffer Desk Pen Help Identification 14K Nib Ohio University.

[KZ900]

Found this today in an old warehouse. It was wrapped in tissue. I think it's New Old Stock. Nib is marked 14K. I think it is a Sheaffer Trimuph. Any information would be helpful. Came with a really nice Ohio University Stand. Also looks NOS.

If it means anything, it is /not/ a Triumph /nib/ -- Triumph nibs are the cylindrical style that encloses the feed.

 

Confusingly, though, pen models using the Inlaid nib (as you have) have had the Triumph name. Given the white dot -- and presuming the label on the base went with the pen (though it doesn't have a checkmark) -- I'd be tempted to call it the Imperial option.

It also has an up-turned nib and uses a cartridge model.

Name from the 1963 catalog - White Dot Imperial Desk Pen. Originally about $30 plus whatever the badge cost.

That's a very nice find, and it should be a very nice writer. I don't think it's "new old stock" though -- it should have come in a presentation case, not wrapped in paper, and it's evident from the wear pattern that the pen has spent some time in use.
