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. Except perhaps the Kaweco Sport which is nearly exactly the same size as the Tucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately the Tuckaway continued only until 1949. Through in its ten years there are six different generations that crossed the Balance, Triumph, and Touchdown pen lines. This pen is a fourth generation Tuckaway that is contemporary with the third generation Triumphs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen is in marvelous condition. The only minor faults are a crease on the filling knob and a slightly darkened ink view grip section - see photos. Otherwise the celluloid is perfect - including the transparency in the forward end of the binde. The plating is perfect. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCapped - 115 mm (4.5”)\u003cbr\u003eUncapped - 95 mm (3.8”)\u003cbr\u003ePosted - 130 mm (5.1”).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCap - 12.55 mm (0.5”)\u003cbr\u003eBarrel - 11.4 mm (0.45”)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiller\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVacuum-Fil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNib\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paper Wants A Pen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67860532330690,"sku":null,"price":242.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/7055\/3441\/files\/PXL_20261018_194527113.jpg?v=1792354509","url":"https:\/\/paperwantsapen.com\/products\/1947-carmine-sheaffer-tuckaway-statesman-fountain-pen-fine-point","provider":"Paper Wants A Pen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
