Sheaffer Balance 873 Classic Black Roller Ball Pen

Craig R. Sheaffer grew up immersed in the Sheaffer tradition, following in his father's footsteps in pursuit of a better writing instrument. In 1928, he invented the Balance Lifetime fountain pen, a revolutionary concept that place more weight toward the nib for a lighter balanced feel. The Balance Lifetime pen gained immediate popularity, increasing Sheaffer's widespread reputation for technical superiority. The new issue of Balance writing instruments combine the latest writing technology with the familiar profile and feel of their renowned ancestor.
