Pen 3450:  Wahl 1920's Gold-Filled Pen  $255 SOLD
Striped Pattern. #4 nib

Overall Grade: Exc
Metal: Exc Color:  NA
Nib condition: Exc
Threads: Perfect clarity: NA
Point: Med Imprint: NA Size: 4 5/8" 12cm
PRICE: $255
COMMENTS: Grand example (and nice writer) of the somewhat underappreciated 1920's Wahl metal pens.

Pen 3342:  Wahl-Eversharp Doric. Large non Gold Seal model  $Delayed
Medium Broad Semi-Flex nib.

Overall Grade: Fine
Metal: Fine Color: Exc CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Exc
Threads: Perfect clarity: NA
Point: Med-Broad Flex Imprint: Excellent Size: 5 3/8" 13.2cm
PRICE: $Delayed
COMMENTS: The heftiest of the non-Gold Seal Dorics. You can see the partial brassing to the lever and there is much milder brassing to the cap-band.  The nib rocks.  A medium+ point with light touch, while not "Waterman Pink" wet noodle, the nice controlled mild-moderate flex allows broad+ lines on downstrokes.  Has a very "vintage" writing feel, whatever that means.

COMMENTS: Symphony replaced the popular 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. Clean pen. Nice nib.

Pen 3202 JB:  WAHL-EVERSHARP 1927-9 or so $265

PRICE: $265
COMMENTSWell, I'm no Wahlnut, but  having handled many Wahls and many in Coral, this model is a bit uncommon I suspect. It is not the short slender "Ladies" model with #2-size nib usually found in ringtop, but is the full size (full girth) standard pen usually found as military clip, with #4-size nib.  I don't see many ringtops in this size, though it would not surprise me if this is a regularly cataloged model (i really must pull the catalogs). Clean trim. Sharp imprint (at top of cap), nice color, not quite perfect but excellent and better than most. Silky Wahl Signature (semi-flex) nib that is not wet-noodle but does flex from about fine-medium (would be uber-flex for a modern pen, but is not like, say, a noodle flex Waterman #2 nib). Great pen. Nice writer.

Pen 3210 JB: Wahl-Eversharp Skyline.   $ 135

COMMENTS Very popular pen in its day. The pens with celluloid caps are bit less common than all-injection-plastic pens. Silky Medium writer. Quite nice, really.

COMMENTSA "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 2390 Wahl Eversharp CHASED RED HARD RUBBER Ringtop $225

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 2370M Wahl Eversharp Symphony. Mid 1940's   $135
Model 701 (intermediate trim level) Burgundy. Mint Stickered

Nib condition: Mint
Threads: perfect clarity:    NA
Point:   Fine Firm. Imprint:  N/A Size: 5 5/16" 14.2cm

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.

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.
