PLEASE READ FOR INFORMATION...In 1969 Sheaffer Pen launched the No Nonsense line of writing instruments. The styling was a throwback to the era in American pen-making encompassed by the 1920s and 1930s. The No Nonsense was an inexpensive writing instrument that was often provided to someone as a "First" Fountain Pen. You must remember that the evil Ball Point Pen was really taking off in sales at this time, handwriting was faltering badly because of that, and companies like Sheaffer and Parker were trying to re-energize the more profitable fountain pen sales. They needed to reintroduce this mode of writing to the youngsters so they launched entry level price points.
By the time the 1990s rolled around Sheaffer was selling a lot of No Nonsense Fountain Pens. It was not only economical, but it was actually a very good quality writing instrument. It was at this time that Sheaffer launched the Vintage Fountain Pen. It was brand new of course but the appearance of the pen returned one to the grand pen producing days of the 1920s - hence the name VINTAGE was derived. So while in the title we listed this as Sheaffer Vintage we don't want to mislead anyone that this is a 40 or 50 year old piece of fine writing jewelry. In the late 1990s the VINTAGE Fountain and Ball Pen were Retired and replaced with the Javelin.
