Kicking off my appreciation of this new community with my Sheaffer's collection. I absolutely love the Snorkel. It's a little bit of a pain to work on, but so cool and easy to use.

My faves here are the blue Statesman and the red vein Balance. Not pictured are any of my modern Sheaffer's, or later cartridge based student pens.

Maybe I'll post my Wearevers soon. Such cheap pens, but they had lovely celluloid.

Thanks! With the exception of the blue snorkel, I got most of them in rough shape in need of repair. Actually, the blue one was supposedly restored according to the seller, but the sac leaked and the nib was scratchy. It was easier for me to just fix it than to start any kind of claim with them, though.

I have two more on my wishlist. There's a periwinkle snorkel, and a model of touchdown that you just need to dip the tip in the ink to fill it. I don't recall the model right now, though.
