Sheaffer Cap Bands - Unusual Designs
Permalink Closed

Sheaffer cap bands, especially the Balance variety, have long held a fascination for me.  I'm drawn to the 14k and jewelers bands.  I'm putting up pictures of a few that I've laid my hands on today.  I'd be interested in seeing some not pictured here.  Any more for show?

The Red striated Lifetime Balance is a Fullsize from Canada.  It seems that most of the unusual bands come from there.  A nice easy way for them to jazz up the design after it had passed it's 10th birthday, I suppose.  I hadn't handled one like it before I purchased it from a seller in the UK.

The Brown striated with numerous vertical lines is a US made Vac-fil with a number 3 nib.  I have the matching pencil also.


The Marine Green with two bands is the pencil from the Canadian set I've shown here before.  The close-up shows why I like this one the best.

The Autograph pencil is an Ebonized Pearl.  I suppose the 14k band would be the most common of the "jewelers" type if you could call it that.

Fun stuff.  Any more out there?
