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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

COMMENTSSymphony 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.

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 :)

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.

 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.

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.

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.
