My favorite Sheaffer celluloid is Grey Pearl. I am drawn to every one I see. I like it so much that I rarely sell one. They usually end up in my personal collection. I have an example of this model already so I offer it to you.

Sheaffer made grey pearl pens for only 3 years - 1934-1936. During that period the Junior was available in both streamlined Balance shape and this semi-streamlined shape. Two of those years included Vacuum-Fil pens - the best filling system ever. I believe that only 1935 semi-streamlined Junior was available with a fully transparent barrel like this one. This is a rare model and in rare condition. As a collector of grey pearl celluloid Sheaffer pens, I consider this collector grade.

The celluloid and the transparent barrel are not the only amazing features. The nib is fabulous. It is not flexible or even semi-flexible though some may be temped to push it as if it were. It has a bouncy suppleness that provides wonderful line variation under normal writing pressure. It does not need to be pushed aggressively to be amazing. This pen can be a gem for your collection that you can also carry and use as Walter Sheaffer intended.
