Marine Green Sheaffer Balance Premier (OS) pen & pencil - Vacuum-fil - fine point

Senior. Large. Oversize. Premier. Call it whatever you like. I call it one of the best pens ever made. Sheaffer introduced the revolutionary Balance shape ~20 years prior to the Montblanc 14x. Prior to 1928, most pens were cylindrical with flat ends - flat tops. Sheaffer introduced the Balance with a patented torpedo shape in ~December 1928. The pens were madly popular and the other pen companies scrambled to introduce their own new shapes. Montblanc introduced their torpedo shaped 14x line in 1949. This is at least 7 years after Sheaffer ceased making the Balance. By 1949 Sheaffer had moved on to the Triumph and Touchdown pens. This pen is probably from ~1937. and the condition is nearly perfect. The only flaws are a couple of tiny spots of damaged plating on the end of the clip. I need a loupe to see them. The celluloid is nearly perfect with excellent color and clarity of the transparent strips. Both pen and pencil are personalized F.G. Bonewitz. The name is still gold filled on the
