The Innovations That Rewrote History

The history of Sheaffer Pens is studded with revolutionary patents that made writing easier and cleaner. Walter A. Sheaffer began his journey by inventing and patenting a lever-filling mechanism in 1908. This innovation transformed ink refilling, making it less cumbersome and more reliable than eyedropper systems. The company continued to amaze the world with its famous Skrip ink, known for its smooth flow, and the revolutionary Snorkel filling system in the 1950s, a true engineering masterpiece that allowed fountain pens to be filled without dirtying the nib. Today, Sheaffer honors this tradition of excellence.

The White Dot Symbol and Lifetime Quality

One of the brand's most iconic features is the White Dot , the small white dot on the clip. Originally, it identified the Lifetime line of pens from 1924, which were covered by a lifetime guarantee. Even today, it remains the seal that certifies the high quality and craftsmanship of every single Sheaffer writing instrument, from the tip of the nib to the click mechanism.
