This is a great example of an early Sheaffer green flattop pen. It is a smooth writer and I don't think this pen was used much. The color isn't perfect, but if you look at the photos, you will notice that the color is excellent compared to most of the other green pens you will see from the 1920s. This is a non-lifetime model and has the correct 5-30 nib.

Sheaffer fountain pen that was made in the USA in the 1930s. This is a Sheaffer Jr pen, which was sold at a lower cost with nickel plated trim. These pens are just like a balance pen, but for some reason they decided to make these with flat ends like the pens from the 1920s. The barrel was plugged to make it flat and the cap has a top cap about 6mm thick.
