Pen 3101 Wahl-Eversharp Equi-Poised Pencil. Large. 1930-1932  $125
Overall Grade: Excellent+	Metal: Nearmint	Color:  Exc+	CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: NA	Threads: Perfect	clarity: NA
Point: NA	Imprint:  Exc	Size: 5 3/4" 14.5 cm	PRICE: $125
COMMENTS: Equi-Poised is a highly collectable series that saw frantic evolution during its 4 year run.  This large pencil shows minimal signs of use, has no brassing and has great color. Still has some of original eraser. The celluloid shows a slight iridescence representing thin layer oxidation from going 80 years without being polish. I like finding that on old celluloid. If you want, I can give it a light modern polish (though you'll lose the oxidation effect).

Pen 3125- S  Wahl-Eversharp Skyline. Early-Mid 1940s  $180 SOLD "Chocolate" Plastic with Lined Gold-Filled Cap. Ultraflex "Monster" Nib

Nib condition: Exc	Threads: Perfect	clarity: n/a
Point: F-M to BB Flex	Imprint: NA	Size: 5 1/4" 13.2 cm	PRICE: $180
COMMENTS: Skyline has... distinct... styling. It was quite popular in the day. This one packs a killer nib. Fine-Med at baseline it smoothly flexes up to at least broad, and probably double broad.   Ink-flow keeps up nicely.   The nib is the key for this one.

Pen 3039 JB  Wahl-Eversharp Doric Oversize (2nd Generation) Black Celluloid $285
Overall Grade:  Extra Fine	Metal: Exc	Color:  Exc	CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: NA	threads:  Exc	clarity: NA
Point:   Medium Firm	Imprint:  Exc	Size:   5 9/16 " 14.2 cm	PRICE: $285
COMMENTS:  A superb big-boy Doric from mid-late 1930's.  See article in Stylus couple months back by Erano with photos by Isaacson.  The largest 2nd Gen Doric (cap-band meets cap-lip) is bit thinner than the 1st Gen pens.  This one has clean  trim. Nib is keyhole style. I "believe" late Dorics (Doric ran to 1940) have these as correct finding, but clearly the nib has less value than an adjustable nib from earlier years. That's been factored in. Clean plastic, with one small scratch near butt end of pen.  This is a quite nice example of a not-so-easy-to fine pen. Sweet smooth writer, too. And, that is just dust up by the gold-seal.

Pen 3048 JB  Wahl-Eversharp Skyline $245 Shipping Delayed for Final Tweaks. Latitudinally Lined All Gold-Filled Model. Uncommon

Nib condition: Exc	Threads:  Exc	clarity: NA
Point: XF-F	Imprint:  NA	Size: 5 5/16 " 13.4 cm	PRICE: $245
COMMENTS: A "better'" Skyline with a lined all gold-filled barrel/cap. Most of these are found heaviliy dinged. This one has scattered light pin marks to the metal and one small superficial ding to barrel 3mm across.  Not "perfect" condition but well better than average.  Nice smooth writer.

Pen 2567R Wahl-Eversharp "Giant Bantam" mid 1930's   $185 SOLD
Overall Grade: Extra Fine	Metal: Extra Fine	Color:  Exc	CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Exc	Thread: perfect	clarity:  ExtraFine
Point: XF-F	Imprint:  Exc	Size: 5 1/2" 13.6cm	PRICE: $185
COMMENTS:  Note, please that "Giant Bantam" is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek name. This Wahl Oxford is a long thin pen, not "giant" in the general pendom sense of the word, but is a rather large version of pen that generally is a teeny weeny thing, the Wahl Bantam.  Sharing the bulb-filler and spiral-barrel-transparency look of the Bantam, this one is a bigger version it, thus "giant".   Barrel clarity is superb. Clean color with bit of translucence at very top of cap. I've had a few of the reds and one green. This is the first  brown pen i've found.

Nib condition: Exc	Threads perfect	clarity:    NA
Point:   Fine with some Flex	Imprint:  Exc	Size: 4 3/8" 11cm	PRICE: $245
COMMENTS:  A gorgeous Wahl metal pen from mid 1920's, with mid 1930's nib, in lined green gold-filled (which is yellowish in color, vs more common yellow gold-filled which is pinkish in color). No dings, no brassing, tight clip, fine semi-flex nib. Well above average condition for this sort.

Pen 2458 Wahl-Eversharp Symphony Model 703 $125  Blue with wide-band Two Tone Cap.
Overall Grade:  Nearmint	Metal: Exc	Color: Exc	CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Exc	Threads:  perfect	clarity: N/A
Point: M, semi-flex	Imprint:  NA	Size: 5 1/2" 14cm	PRICE: $125
COMMENTS: Symphony replaced the vaunted Wahl Skyline, and the barrel shape channels that earlier pen. The two tone metal cap enhances the eye appeal of this streamlined pen.   A pen of good quality, Symphony is somewhat underappreciated in the pendom community today. The two-tone wide band and appropriate large nib mark this as the high-line 703 model. Clean pen. Nice nib.

Pen 2390 Wahl Eversharp CHASED RED HARD RUBBER Ringtop $225 mid-late 1920's. Superb Condition (see extra pic)

Nib condition: Exc	Threads:  perfect	clarity: NA
Point:   Fine. Firm	Imprint:  Exc	Size:4 1/2" 11.5cm	PRICE: $225
COMMENTS:  Entry level pen to the world of Wahl RCHR. Often found cracked, this one lacks any cracks. Often found worn, this one has very sharp chasing. Often found brassed... well, you get the idea. The diffused light used for the photo obscures the chasing. Later (next day or three) will take a top-lit oblique shot to really show the thing off... assuming it has not been claimed by then :)

Pen 2366M  Wahl-Eversharp Bantam with "Doric" style cues $95 Mid 1930's. A wee "baby" pen with high flex nib.
Overall Grade:  Extra Fine	Metal: Extrafine	Color:  Exc	CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Excellent	Threads: perfect	clarity:    NA
Point:  Fine Flex	Imprint:  Exc	Size: 3 7/8" 9.8cm	PRICE: $95
COMMENTS:  Literature is a bit sparse for the  bulb-fill Wahl Bantam pens. My guesstimate is that 95% of the ones found have round countour, rendering the faceted pens (Doric style) relatively uncommon.  This one is ok, with modest wear, clean trim and a nice flex nib.

COMMENTS:    Symphony replaced the vaunted Wahl Skyline, and the barrel shape channels that earlier pen. The two tone metal cap enhances the eye appeal of this streamlined pen.  This one is, i believe, third generation.  A pen of good quality, Symphony is somewhat underappreciated in the pendom community today.  The "701" was the intermediate model regarding price point and trim level. This one is mint stickered, freshly resaced and ready to go.

COMMENTS:  Symphony replaced the vaunted Wahl Skyline, and the barrel shape channels that earlier pen.  This one is, i believe, third generation.  A pen of good quality, Symphony is somewhat underappreciated in the pendom community today.  The "707", despite the heftier model number, was entry level for the series.  This one is, i believe, third generation.The fine nib has real flex, though not "wet noodle". The  pen is mint stickered, freshly resaced, and ready to go. It is accompanied by mint pencil 1707.  I've foiund green and blue to crop up less often than Burgundy and Black, amongst Symphonies.

Point:   Fine.	Imprint:  Exc	Size: 5 1/2" 13.8cm	PRICE: $125
The Symphony succeeded  the Skyline during the late 1940's. My experience- such as it is- notes the Gold Filled caps are less common than the white caps, overall.   The Slipper Cap was early style. This is the first all gold filled slipper cap pen i've handled. Most are white caps.

Nib condition: NA	Threads:  NA	clarity:    NA
Point:   NA	Imprint:  Exc	Size: 5 3/16" 13.1cm	PRICE: $145
COMMENTS:   The Coronet in full GF perhaps is the most "deco" pen to come out of the 1930's.  Pencils not so easy to find either. This one is acceptable, though hardly near mint. NO frank dings, it has scattered pin marks. the chrometone cone shows some brassing and light scratches. Pencil works well. Clip is nice and tight.

COMMENTS:  This long, thin  pen with an octagonal (though not a regular octagon) borrows some features from Doric, as well as the bulb-filler seen on other Wahl pens such as Bantam and some  Oxfords. Not so common in clean condition.

Nib condition: NM	Threads:  perfect	clarity:    NA	Plastic: Perfect
Point:  XF-F	Imprint:  NA	Size: 5 1/2"	PRICE: $110
COMMENTS:  Symphony succeeed Skyline during the 1940's. Attractive pens, they are a bit undappreciate by today's collector. Presumably targeting the Parker "51", the Symphony never touched that pens popularity. Still, they are nicely styled pens of good quality. This one has original barrel sticker but has met ink, so is not mint.
