1955 Sheaffer´S catalog

New SNORKEL. The pen that takes the “DUNK” out of pen filling. Since fountain pens were first invented, the mess and bother of filling has been a prime objection. Sheaffer’s new Snorkel Pen is the first real answer to the problem. Instead of “dunking” the point and barrel, only the filling tube touches the ink. It extends to draw in the fluid and withdraws when the pen is filled, leaving the point and barrel clean and free of ink. There is no pen wiper of any kind needed. Here is precision craftsmanship in its highest degree, a pen created with the user’s wants and needs in mind.  The owner may well be proud in the knowledge that in Sheaffer’s Snorkel Pen he possesses the finest writing instrument the world has ever seen.
