It's always nice when you come across a complete set :) This handsome pair is one of Stuart's latest acquisitions---a vintage
Sheaffer '1000' fountain pen & matching mechanical pencil:

In Stuart's words:
"This one was simply called by Sheaffer the '1000', a digital code for its price of $10.00. It’s a cartridge/converter pen, and the gold nib is firm but smooth, classic Sheaffer. They seem to have been marketed by Sheaffer as a budget line below the Imperial series. So a quality, simple workhorse pen of the first half of the 1960’s."
The nib on the fountain pen is affectionately called "the Dolphin nib", as Stuart explains:
"The Dolphin: The name is a nickname retroactively applied by collectors, for the resemblance of the nib and section assembly to the head of a dolphin.
Many thanks to Stuart for sharing his new vintage pen and pencil acquisition with all of us!
