    Description

    Here is a vintage 1970s Sheaffer desk set with a White Dot ballpoint pen and a Mexican Onyx base, NEW in the original box.
    There is a blank nameplate for engraving. Also included in the box are a small product brochure and a price tag.
    The contents of the box are in excellent, new condition. They were only removed to take these photos. I also tested the pen; it is working, with blue ink. The box shows some wear.
    The White Dot on the pen represents Sheaffer's Lifetime Warranty. Etched into the barrel of the pen it says SHEAFFER -- MADE IN U.S.A.
    The onyx base measures about 5 x 3-1/2 inches. It is about 3/4" high.
    I did a little research on Mexican Onyx: It is a variety of onyx marble that is hard and durable enough to be used for sculpture; it's a banded travertine that is obtained from stalactites in caves. The translucent, white Mexican onyx is quarried in Tehuacan, Mexico.
    The desk set will be carefully packaged and shipped USPS Priority Mail.
