The first production run of the clear Fantasy Snorkel barrels and caps are exquisite.  

There is an additional $55.00 charge for translucent demonstrator colors

Removing the machining scratches inside the cap and barrel were my primary concerns in making these demonstrators PERFECT

With many translucent acrylic colors available, tangerine was the choice of several customers, just after the first place choice of clear

Only your imagination can limit the availability of demonstrator tints

Rich colors bring out the true meaning of the "Fantasy Snorkel" demonstrator

This Brown Smoke acrylic truly brought tears to my eyes when it was polished

The "Snorkel" filling system prevents the dipping of the nib and feed into the ink bottle making it an extremely clean filling system

From 1952 to 1956 Sheaffer only had six solid colors available: Blue, Burgundy, Black, Grey, Brown and Green

As Sheaffer realized 6 solid colors was not a large selection, they added 9 more solid colors in 1956 to 1959

As a way to differentiate the snorkel for other fountain pens, Sheaffer introduced short, pointed phrases to highlight the filling system

Recognized as the most complicated filling system in any fountain pen, it also was the most dependable and one of the most efficient pens ever made

In the 1950's a thin model pen was the demand of the every day writer. As time went on the demand for a thin model was lost. Tega Pen Company has designed the Fantasy Snorkel to be fatter and well balanced

Step 1 - Turn the blind cap counter clockwise

Step 2 - Pull out the filler tube          

Step 3 - Dip the Snorkel tube into the ink

Step 4 - Push the filler down and count to 7 with the snorkel tip IN THE INK

Step 5 - Turn the blind cap clockwise to retract the snorkel tube

Over 30 years ago, the late Frank Dubiel tested several popular pens of the time in a "real world" situation. Two models of each pen were used to write 500 words per day using Carter blue-black ink with one fill

The Columbus show is Oct. 30th - November 3rd. I will be attending and holding a "How To Fill A Snorkel " seminar.

A full line of acrylics as well as the DEMONSTRATORS will be available. I should also have a rare flex medium, ONE music nib and several stub nibs.

The Columbus Show is well know for being a truly vintage pen show. There will be many reputable dealers with quality pens of all makes and models. Please stop by to see a "Fantasy Snorkel" in person and experience the reputation on one of the best fountain pens ever  made.

Tega Pen Company would like to thank all those that attended the Raleigh Pen Show. With a larger selection of fantasy colors and 5 sample demonstrator barrels, the show was a great success. The Snorkel seminar was well attended and with snorkel pens to fill . With an extremely  large projection monitor in the Board room the demonstration was fun and everyone had a little squirt experience. Yes, we used only water for our demonstration!

For our 2nd year the DC SuperShow was a smash hit. It was well attended and the variety of vintage and new fountain pens was extraordinary. We will continue the large variety of "Fantasy Snorkel" fountain pens as we have in the prior shows. We have had amazing comments on the acrylic colors, the feel, balance and nib smoothness. 

.

With San Francisco being our first time at that show, the response was amazing. Several attendees came just to see or purchase a "Fantasy Snorkel" fountain pen.  I sold out of several of the acrylic designs. The Black/White, Dark blue and Turquoise are being made as we speak. It was the first show with availability on a rare flex and stub nib. 

The "Fantasy Snorkel" Fountain Pen is a unique gift that has never been seen by many pen collectors. After a year of development, the "Fantasy Snorkel" was perfected and born. The amazing writing characteristics and color variations can be experienced by stopping at any of the pen shows to see a great fountain pen. 

For all the pen collectors and every day pen writers that have purchased a "Fantasy Snorkel" I say THANK YOU. I try my best to offer an exceptional writing fountain pen in amazing acrylic colors to fit the writing habits of every person. Your total satisfaction is guaranteed.
