| 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. | |||

| 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). | |||

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. |

The short size (squat pen) and high riding clip facilitated use in military shirts (didn't wanna pop the flap). Gold Seal is on the top of the pen. Grand condition with brass-free trim and excellent color. The nib puts it over the top. My crude ruler puts it at about 1.3 mm stub with high flex on top of that. Monster writer. Will try to get nib or writing sample up if i can. One of the funkiest vintage points I've had on the website in months. | |||

This is a first-style Doric in one of the most fragile colors, Kashmir.
Most out there have crazed and fluoresced. This one is superb. Whilst
I'd expect a Gold Seal nib in a Gold Seal (unpunched) pen, this one has
a non-GS nib (who knows? Custom request at time, or later swap) that
is up there with the two 2-3 most interesting nibs in this latest
website update. It is a Wahl nib correct to era, just not gold-seal.
Lovely pen. Killer nib. ![]() |

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 thin-band
cap marks this as the intermediate model, slotting between the lower
end 707 and the upper end 703. This one is mint, with a nominal flaw (welcome to the weirdness of pen grading). It has part of price sticker and has never met ink, but it does have a small "dimple" (ding) at very top of cap. Fills well and puts down good line on water testing. May not be returned if inked or dipped, but then it is priced, mint-with-flaw, less than most of the used Symphonies I offer. |

| 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 "703" was the high end model regarding price point and trim level. It has the largest nib found on Symphony. The flex nib shows modest, easily controlled flex. It is not a "wet noodle". This pen is, i believe, third generation. It is mint stickered, freshly resaced and ready to go. | |||

Gold Seal is on very top of the pen. The top of the clip, the bottom cap-band and the bottom tassie have some brassing. Rest of trim quite clean. One pin ding on top tassie 90degrees from the clip. This is the fat short pen, not to be confused with the wee skinny ringtop. | |||

I
like OS Wahl flat-tops. Often referred to as "Deco Band" due to the...
deco... band, the Green/Bronze (Green/Gold, Brazilian Green) color
generally features a more narrow middle-band, the "rhomboid" cap-band.
The Wahl Gold Seal nib on this one is marked "Signature" for semi-flex,
but to my hand seems to be a full flex. There was overlap. This one is not quite perfect. There is a small superficial mark about 2mm by 2mm on the barrel and a tiny (maybe 1mm) possible sealed hairline vs scratch extending from the very edge of the lever slot on the barrel has been sealed. Cap is very nice. Figure the $250 discount should cover those two tiny marks. |

Moire
Skylines are amongst the most desirable patterns found. Five
colors,
three trim styles and two sizes can be found- at least i believe all
permutations can be found in all colors- allowing potentially 30 pens
to be hunted. This is a full size set in green moire. The pen is a clean one with slight edge brassing and a superb fine-med very flexible nib. The pencil has a brassed cone and seems not to be feeding ink (probably clogged). I'm tossing it in with the pen as it would be a shame to just throw it out. Great Nib. |

Streamliner
was Wahl-Eversharp's name for this budget-Skyline identifiable by the

series, this style pen indeed is more uncommonly found than is the
Skyline proper. This one is done in a nice royal blue. |

| 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, hence "giant". This one is the cleanest i've owned or handled and has no crazing or fluorescence of that all-too-sensitive green celluloid. Barrel clarity is superb. A nice pen for those who hunt some of the funky stuff put out by Wahl. | |||

Wahl
produced tiny "Bantam" pens with # 0 nibs, bulb filler and $1 price
tag. Wahl's Oxford line generally was a second tier Wahl
product,
analagous to Sheaffer's WASP. Some Oxford pens were very high
quality, essentially tweaked or re-badged Wahl's proper. Others were of
lower quality. Some unusual plastics and contours appeared
amongst the Oxford pens. This one is an odd duck. A fairly large Oxford, it channels the Bantam no doubt. Dates to around the mid 1930's. A bulb filler rests under the removable blind cap. Spiral barrel pattern with tranparency is in play. This one grades at least Fine, with good color, clean trim and but modest barrel clarity |

Skylines
are loved or hated (gee, that narrows it down). They are the most
distinctive looking pens amongst the Big-5 from this era. Many, many
varieties exist. This one has a celluloid cap in a lined pattern, and
packs a wide gold-filled cap-band. I cannot prove the following, but
note that at a recent pen show a couple Skyline collectors labelled
this one a military model, noting the cocktail of solid barrel, striped
cap, solid derby and wide cap-band is what was shown in adverts to
military personnel. Idunno. This one is prety clean. Good color and threads. Very nice writer. Trace edge brassing, particularly on the lever. |

Whether
the reader wishes to use the conventional "transitional Equi-Poised"
moniker or favor the notion that this is a an odd-duck
semi-streamlined
flat-top, this pen is a well known, uncatalogued, and scarce variant on
the Wahl Personal Point Flat Top to Equi-Poised continuum.
Perhaps one of these crops up for every hundred catalogued sister
variants. Pens are known in Coral, Lapis, Brazilian Green and
Black/Pearl. I would not be suprised to see Jade and Black show up too. A few imperfections need be noted. The pen has the punched seal of a late-release product, but has a Wahl Gold Seal nib usually seen when the seal is not punched. On other hand, the GS nib actually is a better nib than the warranted nibs seen more commonly with punched seal. The celluloid has good color but a hint of texture from differential aging of the green vs copper panels. Overall nice look. Scarce, high cachet Wahl. |

The 1935-1940 or so 2nd Generation Doric featured single cross-hached
colors.
The pens are amongst the most beautiful from the era- in our
opinion
of course. Often plagued by subdued color, frank crazing and
cracking,
they are not easy to find clean. the chrome-tone trim often is trashed
and does not polish up in the manner of goldfilled trim.
Blue is- in our experience- the most difficult color, less often seen than Brown, Green, Red, Purple, Silver and Black. The box-diamond cap-band indicates a less expensive model, often found lacking the adjustable nib. The pen appears in two sizes. This one is the larger. This pen has one flaw- scattered light tooth marks at the blind end of the pen. Otherwise it is superb. |

COMMENTS:
The 2nd generation Doric done in cross-hatched plastic, produced
roughly 1935-1940, are some of the most lovely vintage pens. This one
is the second largest size, is a Gold
Seal model (though of course the gold seal in this case is
chrome). amd packs a large ostensibly flexible nib, though in practice
it seems more semi-flex. The pen has no trim pitting and no
ambering,
both nice finds in a color/trim that tends to suffer those problems.
The pic shows a "spot" on the clip. That is not brassing/pitting and is
gone after a light wipe down. the lever has one tiny speck of
brassing, seen in the additional pictures. A lovely Doric whose
only flaws are a
few scratches in the gripping section and a slight ding at distal edge
of the section.
By end of August the scratches will be removed by restorer Ron
Zorn. I missed 'em during a marathon restoration session last week.
Trim has good lustre and lacks pitting often seen on white trim. |

| COMMENTS:
The 1935-1940 or so 2nd Generation Doric featured single cross hatched
colors. The pens are amongst the most beautiful from the
era-
in our opinion of course. Often plagued by subdued color, frank
crazing
and cracking, they are not easy to find clean. the chrome-tone trim
often
is trashed and does not polish up in the manner of goldfilled
trim.
Blue is- in our experience- the most difficult color, less often seen than Brown, Green, Red, Purple, Silver and Black. The box-diamond cap-band indicates a less expensive model, often found lacking the adjustable nib. The pen appears in two sizes. This one is the smaller. It is a wee gem, resaced by El Zorno last week (clear sac). No crazing. Great trim. Lovely flexible writer. |

| COMMENTS: A gorgeous early Wahl Flat-top, preceding the celluloid/personal-point era. The pen has a sweat flex nib, but the nib is from a Mabie-Todd pen. Such is life. I've tossed in a spare #2 Wahl nib in case you ever wish to make pen "correct", but it is quite nice as it is. A great writer and beautifulp en. | |||
