Vintage Moving Sheaffer Touchdown Display

[Bagpiper]

Has anyone ever seen this Sheaffer R22 Touchdown Display ?

 

It still lights up and and the pen appears to fill with ink as it moves the the plunger up and down. 
 

pretty neat item

No, but that seems to be really cool.

I have seen stuff like display cases at antiques stores, but of course don't have either the money or the room in my house for them....

I am tempted to pick it up …

Seems cool. Is that a real touchdown pen?

If you don’t want to pick it up for yourself, pick it up for me. I’d love to have it.

What a great find! 😁

It's not a real pen, it's all plastic, the electric motor lifts the top portion of the pen with the finger resting on top of the pen, which both move up and down to simulate the Touchdown refilling from the ink bottle.

Did you end up buying it?

Do you have any updates on this piece?
