The Sheaffer No Nonsense is one of those pens that come around once in a lifetime. In this case, the lifetime lasted for almost forty years. Introduced in 1969, this pen was designed after the Sheaffer Flat-top pens of fifty years before. Sparked by a new interest in Art Deco, the new pen, sold as a cartridge-filled fountain pen. At first it was only sold in a choice of khaki and navy blue, but soon, more colors were added. In fact, there are many color variations on this one design. For instance, in addition to the initial eight added colors, two-tone models were also made, as well as intricately decorated pens, and a stainless steel version. A special Bicentennial model was also made, with a design of an eagle over the American flag. Many of these were purchased by large companies as a promotional item. Sheaffer - 1969s or 80s (Please note: this is the earlier version of the pen, which has a screw-on cap and no rubberized section.) Length capped 5-1/8". Posted over 6" Long. Uses Sheaffer cartridges. Steel nib. Perfect new old stock condition. No scratches or hand wear. The pen has never been inked. It has been stored for a few years and may have a tiny mark or two.
