[WTS][US50] Vintage Sheaffer Imperial VIII Fountain Pen and Pencil Set
Sold
$100
Hey all,
This listing is for a Sheaffer Imperial VIII fountain pen and pencil set with the original case. It was purchased to restore but to my surprise, the ink sac and O-ring that usually need replacing are perfectly fine. It has been cycled over 20 times with no issues and even has that signature touchdown swoosh sound when filling. Overall this is a great looking pen and the top model of Imperial before moving to the PFM model. This model actually has a matching model of PFM but if that pen is too big then this one is just right! Here are some more details about the pen set:
