Just picked up this sweet Sheaffers set!

I am a sucker for vintage Sheaffers! Especially ones with the original box and pencil.

I have to say that the Targas are my least favorite Sheaffers. But the Balance sets are wonderful writers.

I perceive a late 1930s Sheaffer 'Balance' OS pen & pencil set. Plunger-filler, yes?
