Todas las subastas / Lámparas / Sheaffer - Imperial Triumph (797) - Gold Electroplated...
A0000005279 We put up for auction one of the great jeweled-artworks of mid-century American executive-pen writing: the premium Sheaffer Imperial Triumph fountain pen (Model 797), manufactured in the United States throughout the 1970s. This coveted piece stands out in the firm’s historical catalog for featuring an entirely metal construction (body and cap) finished with a sumptuous and thick Gold Electroplated coating, decorated with the famous majestic longitudinal striped pattern of faceted lines known as the "Fluted" pattern. A superb piece of great presence and distinction that embodies the golden era of the White Dot company. The design of this fountain pen is a display of high-fidelity aesthetics, aerodynamics, and classic ergonomics: closed, it measures a perfect 13.2 cm in length with a regal thickness of 1.2 cm, offering extraordinary balance and hand-settling for long writing sessions. The cap closes with impeccable firmness and bears the legendary gold-plated flat clip crowned by the legendary White Dot, the historic seal of excellence with which Sheaffer guaranteed its masterpieces for life. On the central cap band the factory official stamps are preserved with total clarity and depth: "SHEAFFER - MADE IN U.S.A. - GOLD ELECTROPLATED". But the true heart of this industrial jewel emerges when removing the cap: its iconic, avant-garde, and imposing integrated nib (Inlaid Nib) made of solid 14-karat gold (14K / 585) in a fine point (F). This nib, mm-perfectly fused into the black resin grip section, offers an impeccable geometry and a steady flow of an unparalleled liquid smoothness. A milestone of international collecting destined for the most demanding users and collectors in the market. Condition: Showroom Quality / Excellent The cosmetic, aesthetic, and mechanical condition of this specimen is Good, typical of a piece kept with care: Gold-Plated Barrel and Cap: The metal structure preserves its gold wash with an original superb optical sheen, completely free of deep micro-scratches, dents, metal loss, or pressure marks. The striped pattern remains perfectly sharp and texturized across the surface. The White Dot looks clean and unworn. Integrated 14K nib and Section: The black resin fluted nozzle shows no signs of use or forced threads. The integrated 14K gold nib is gleaming, with the original tines perfectly aligned and free of any deformation, ensuring flawless flow. Mechanical: The internal feed system and piston or cartridge/converter loading are fully clean and ready for immediate use. Curious Fact for the Collector For valuers and Catawiki experts, Imperial Triumph (797) series fountain pens represent a highly secure and rising value because they move away from the injected resin sections of IV and VIII models to offer an entirely metal, gold-plated body. The Fluted striped pattern is one of the most sought-after by collectors due to the spectacular play of reflections and glints it produces under light. Finding a unit in such pristine cosmetic condition, without the typical end-end dents and with an impeccable 14K gold nib, is a sure-fire winner that guarantees a truly wild bidding ratio in international auctions. I wish you the best of luck with your bids and a superb auction to all Catawiki participants!
