**First Time At Auction**
North America, United States, Iowa, ca. mid to late 20th century CE. A fine collection of eight gold-plated pens made by Sheaffer and Monsanto. Four are fountain pens and the other four are ballpoint tips. The largest five are black with gold components, and one is labeled with the style type; "Targa 1003 Medium." The fountain pens each have a 14K gold nib tip and are stamped with the Sheaffer register trademarks, and two include a personalized signature: "FRANCIS E. TROY" or "F. E. TROY" engraved on the gold belt on the caps. The ballpoint pens consist of three gold Monsanto pens and one black pen also engraved with "F. E. TROY" on the cap. These are luxury pens with elegant designs that are still popular today. The Sheaffer fountain pens were advertised as filling "instantly from any inkwell, with one touch of a finger" making that type both practical and extravagant.
