Sheaffers to beat the band - jeweler's band, that is

I still think I was correct, at page 139 of The Catalogue, in stating that the Sheaffer Balance rigid radius clip pencils with wide "jeweler's bands" are most often found in brown striated celluloid.  At the time the book went to press, I had happened upon three examples, all in brown. 

As my Sheaffer collecting became less accidental and more purposeful, I did run across some other colors.  Currently, the flock looks more like this . . .
