SHFDIE-6  Sheaffer Engraving Dies, set of 6. These steel engraving dies were used to print the Sheaffer name on cap bands in the 1970s - 1980s. The actual dies vary a little in size, but are all about 1 x 1.25 inches. All came from the Sheaffer factory in Fort Madison, Iowa and are just one of the odd and unusual items we purchased at the Sheaffer equipment auction in February 2007. A nice little historical trinket from the days when Sheaffers were made in Fort Madison. This set includes six different dies. (1 set avail)

Sheaffer Perfect Sample Intrigue Whaleshark barrel. The odd thing about this particular envelope is marked Intrigue Atlantic Sample. I do not remember an Intrigue pattern named Atlantic, so perhaps that was an original name that did not get used when it was time to take it to market? Just speculation! Two pieces inside envelope. Dated 05-Oct-01. (1 avail)
