Origins and Introduction
· 1931 Launch: Sheaffer released the Feather Touch nib during the summer, first appearing on the premium Autograph model before expanding to other Lifetime pens.
· Design Innovation: The nib featured genuine native iridium and a platinum-masked channel over the slit, which Sheaffer advertised as improving ink flow consistency.
· Writing Versatility: The architecture allowed smooth writing at various angles and produced finer lines when flipped upside down
