At page 141 of The Catalogue, I list Sheaffer "Crest" pencils (with all gold filled caps) as well as Sheaffer "Sentinel" pencils (with two tone caps). I show Crest pencils both with pre-1948 striped celluloid lower barrels and 1948 and later injection molded plastic lower barrels. However, I only show the Sentinel in the 1948 and later injected molded plastic.
Was this because Sheaffer didn't make them? No. It was only because I didn't have one to show.
At the Scott Antique Market in November, I circled around the table this set was on several times . . .
