| 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. | |||

| COMMENTS: Coral is a highly sought color. This one has superb color top to bottom. Killer nib- wet noodle flex goes from fine-med baseline to, oh, triple-quadruple broad. 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. | |||

Largest size available in most patterns though second largest size in
Grecian Border. Exceedingly clean pen. Often given as ifts, this one
must've belonged to a fairly high ranked member in the petroleum
industry. The pen neatly is stamped, "C.A. Pierce Oil Company, Akron
Ohio" |

| COMMENTS:
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. |

| COMMENTS:
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
lack of the over-the-derby clip. Often lumped in with the
Skyline
series, this style pen indeed is more uncommonly found than is the
Skyline proper. This one is done in a nice royal blue. |

| COMMENTS: Taxonomy of the Equi-Poised is... nontrivial. This is the early "torpedo" shape which mythology says gave Sheaffer a conniption. This one has the punched seal, indicative of late release as non-guaranteed pen, but... it does pack a gold seal nib. Color is superb. Only flaw is loss of a fraction of the final thread round where threads meet gripping section. Closure of the cap is absolutely normal. | |||

| COMMENTS: I'm fond of Wahl metal pens- availability of variety of sizes, patterns, metals makes for a charming collecting experience. "Dazzle" is one of my favorites, providing a coruscating lustre that is not well represented by the photo. A very clean example, it has the proper metal section (many have been replaced by black sections which is hardly fatal but still...) and has a nice XF nib with bit of flex. Pretty pen. | |||
