THE COIN & QUILL COLLECTION
Lot 61:
Sheaffer “Touchdown” fountain pen with 14k gold nib. At the beginning of 1949 Sheaffer introduced a pneumatic filling system for their top-line pens, in which the ink sac was emptied by air pressure generated by depressing a plunger. The pressure was automatically released once the plunger was fully depressed, allowing the sac to fill. “Touchdown” was the name given these simple, efficient, and elegantly engineered pens.
