As with the earliest Lady Sheaffer’s from 1958–1966, Sheaffer made a small number of uncatalogued versions of the 1968–1971 pens. Were these production, prototype, or short-run models? The fit and finish on them suggests they may have been special order pens but lacking any Sheaffer catalogs or price lists from that period, there’s no way to be certain. There are three known uncatalogued Lady Sheaffer models from this period. It is possible there are more. Each follows the design of the 1966-1968 Stylist, with a long, slender, tapered shape, and a long spring loaded clip.

The original, clipless Lady Sheaffer fountain pen had a pretty good run, introduced March 20, 1958 with nineteen cartridge only fountain pen models in a wide variety of finishes priced from $10 to $110. The launch was supported with a big advertising and promotional campaign. Over the next few years some of the original models were phased out and in 1962 Sheaffer added two final new clipless models, each with an inset gold Stylpoint nib section. By 1966, the Lady Sheaffer line was due for a refresh The Lady Sheaffer fountain pen was redesigned for release in 1967 and followed the look of the Stylist in its cap and barrel shape, ‘S’ logo clip, and Stylist nib.

The Sheaffer ‘S’ logo, introduced on the clips of Sheaffer Stylist pens in early 1966, had a short life, with Sheaffer returning to the White Dot in the fall of 1968. This would also affect the appearance of the Sheaffer 'S' logo clip Lady Sheaffer pen models introduced in the fall of 1967. In the fall of 1968, Lady Sheaffer pen clips would be adorned with the White Dot in place of the ‘S’ logo and would have a short conical nib in place of the Stylist type. In addition, Sheaffer introduced three new finishes to the Lady Sheaffer line, described in advertisements as “satin silver with wave band,” “scalloped,” and “golden moiré.” These new finishes introduced a change in model numbering from Roman numerals to three digit numbers.
