~1943 Carmine Sheaffer Tuckaway Sentinel fountain pen & pencil - fine-mediun point

Tuckaways are so special. Other pen companies made diminutive pens long before Sheaffer created the Tuckaway in 1940. Parker had the vest pocket Duofold. Wahl-Eversharp had the Bantam. No other little pen seems as iconic as the Tucky. Though diminutive, every Tuckaway is designed with a postable cap to make it comfortable to use in any size hand.

Unfortunately the Tuckaway continued only until 1949. Though in its ten years there are six different generations. This pen is a third generation Tuckaway that is contemporary with the second generation Triumphs.

This set is in marvelous condition. There is no plating loss and not a wrinkle, dent or spot in the stainless steel caps. The celluloid of both pen and pencil is perfect. The color and clarity of the pen barrel is very good. The fine-medium nib writes a nice, wet line. The filling system has been restored with modern synthetic materials that will last for years. This little pen holds more ink that any standard, modern convertor.

The pencil is also in perfect, working condition. It has no graphite but that may be sourced from The Legendary Pencil Company.

The pen case is included.
