This is a Sheaffer Triumph Lifetime Tuckaway Vacuum-Fil fountain pen in Black celluloid c. 1942-1945. This 4 3/8 inch long pen fills by unscrewing the barrel end cap, pulling out the plunger (as shown), inserting the nib into ink and pushing in the plunger with one stroke. This creates a vacuum that sucks ink into the barrel ink chamber. Note the stripes in the barrel. They were made of alternating solid and translucent strips. It came in Black, striped Golden Brown, striped Green, and striped Carmine with gold filled trim and Black and Gray with chrome plated trim and sold for $12.50. A matching pencil sold for $4.00. The gold filled cap band is 7/8 inches wide. The pen is clipless, a feature Sheaffer advertised that because of its large feed it did not need to be pocketed with the nib pointing up making it convenient to "tuck away" in a pocket or purse. The barrel is stamped W. A. SHEAFFER PEN CO. over FORT MADISON, IOWA, U.S.A over MADE IN U.SA. The nib is stamped SHEAFFER’S over LIFETIME over REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. over MADE IN U.S.A. over 14K. The Sheaffer White Dot is near the top of the cap.
