I was lucky to score an old Sheaffer pen on my trip to Nevada last week. I gave $12.00 for it. It needs reconditioned and the box has ink stains, but there are a few pen collectors out there that are into refurbishing old pens, so I'm gonna sell as-is. It's a model 1000 and the Sheaffer's, don't seem to be as value to collectors as the old Parker pens are I'm finding out. Hopefully I'll triple my money on it.
