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


Wahl-Eversharp vintage Skyline.
One with customized barrel by artisan Paul Rossi
Special Nibs.
CLICK FOR LARGER PIC

Skylines are excellent workhorse pens: sturdy, reliable, found sometimes with flexible points.  Celluloid caps, wide cap-bands and gold-filled caps are up-market findings.  Some monster nibs. High quality pens with flex nibs that give those bland Waterman 52s more than a run for the money.

Pen at left is an original Skyline subsequently customized by the renowned pen artisan Paul Rossi. He etched the barrel to give a crocodile finish, similar to what is found on wristwatch straps.

Pen 4109  Wahl-Eversharp Doric  $325 SOLD

Size 4 5/8" 11.8 cm PRICE: $325
COMMENTS: Doric was offered by Wahl-Eversharp, a Big Five American pen maker. It inspired Omas during the 1930s. That maker in turn (until Omas closed recently) made pens for the next 80 years that channeled Wahl's classic pen: faceted contour, roller clip, etc  This 2nd-generation ("shell" pattern Celluloid) example is slender sized and dates likely to the late 1930s, given presence of keyhole nib which is unusual with two-tone effect (mostly preserved). Wahl also differed from most of the other big players by offering "white" trim on pens that were not gray. This Sapphire Shell pen features white gold-filled trim, accounting for the slightly warmer look (and better wear characteristics) than is found with the chrome-plated "white" trim pens by the competition.   Offered both plunger-fill and lever-fill, the lever fillers (this one is lever-fill) offer easier restorations.  This one is quite clean with superb color, clean trim and imprint, clean plastic, etc. It writes a very fine line, Extra Fine or perhaps accountaint.

COMMENTS: Very clean mid-late 1930s Doric in Silver Shell Celluloid. The "white" trim of Doric was not chrome-plated as with most makers from that era, but was  white gold-filled. It holds up better and has warmer look.  This one is clean and has very flexible Wahl adjustable point. Collector grade all the way


Pen 4008K  Wahl-Eversharp "Gregg Writing School" 1929-ish  $240 SOLD

Point: X-Fine to Fine Imprint:  Exc Size: 5 3/8" 13 cm

COMMENTS: The Gregg Writing School saw pens made for it by Sheaffer, Wahl-Eversharp and apparently even Waterman (rare). I've never seen one by Parker. The flat-top style Wahls are among the earliest of this sort, offered in Rosewood hard rubber (this one) and in a pearlescent mottled green Celluloid that Wahl named Kashmir. Even without spotting the Gregg enamel badge at top of the pen, Wahl flat-top Greggs can be identified by unique size/clip arrangement, a long (rather than short) slender pen with military-style clip at top of pen. This one is quite nice and well better than average. Clean trim rings, no cracks in cap-lip, threads, or anywhere else. Rich Rosewood color without fading/oxidation. The "Made in USA" imprint near top of cap is crisp.  There is bit of high point brassing present at top of clip and edges of lever, which you can see in the photo.

All the Gregg Wahls of this sort I've handled (probably ten by now) have Wahl-marked nibs. This one writes between XF and Fine.

Good pen for the Wahl flat-top collector and Gregg collectors both. Well less common than most Rosewood Wahls.

Comments: Perhaps the most elegant American fountain pen from the 1930s, this faceted 2nd generation Wahl-Doric packs all the bells and whistles. It is the largest size amongst three (two diameters made, with two lengths for standard diameter), as long-standard. It packs the Gold Seal, pierced-work cap-band, the (in)famous Ink shut-off valve and a monster #9 Adjustable Nib that flexes better than most Waterman Pink nibs with which I've played. Clean trim and color. Bright but ambered barrel transparency.  It has couple light tooth-marks on the blind cap. Hint of crimp where the big #9 nib was squeezed into the gripping section ( you can see in picture)

Threads: Perfect clarity: NA
Point: Flexible XF-through-BB Imprint: Exc Size: 5"  12.7cm
PRICE: $185
COMMENTS: In what I believe is the Check / Unique pattern, this is a relatively hefty Wahl metal pen, featuring a sweet Wahl #4 flexible nib that writes a very smooth Extra Fine line with light touch, flexing up to Double Broad with an aggressive down stroke. The flex is not that of a Waterman Pink nib, it's not "wet noodle", but requires controlled force to do its thing. Great writer.

Condition is outstanding for metal pens from the early-mid 1920s (90 year old pen). The domes and thin beads at top and bottom of pen are clean. There is no personalization on the cartouche.  There is no brassing.

I do raise question about whether the gripping section (black hard rubber) is replacement. Save for the Console pattern known to associate with a mottled HR section, I tend to believe gripping sections should be metal. I've heard some claims that rubber sections can be found. For now, I will assume the black rubber section is a replacement.  The advantage is that close ink exposure won't harm the section, as it can on metal pens.

COMMENTS: Jade Celluloid tends to discolor viciously. This 1929 Gold Seal Personal Point Wahl-Eversharp has excellent-- though not perfect-- color preservation, a  top 10% example easily. Excellent condition with no brassing, clean nib, sharp "Wahl-Eversharp" imprint at top of cap.  Barrel is imprinted, "Mid-Continental Life" neatly, as shown in the photo above. Killer Wahl-Eversharp Gold-Seal nib marked "Flexible", it is a near-medium point with a bit of stub quality (thin cross strokes) that also has a nice degree of flexibility. A superb writer, no joke.

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: Wahl-Eversharp offered a remarkable range of metal pens from the time of its taking over Boston Safety in 1917 through at least the late 1920's. Multiple sizes, patterns  and metals (not limited to the usual Sterling, Gold-Filled, and Solid Gold, but including White Gold-Filled and Silver-Filled and even a couple different tints to the regular Gold-Filled pens) allow one to assemble a monster collection if he so chose.  Top quality items, there is potential for he who chooses to hunt these in completist fashion, the way others hunt Vacumatic and Balance, to put together a record collection at relatively reasonable cost.  Ripple is a better pattern.  You can see the brassing at the very top of pen (the most severe portion is shown) and a smidge on the high point of the clip. No dings/dents. The rubber core of the gripping section  protrudes a smidge behind its metal overlay, where < 1 mm of metal was lost to ink exposure over the years.

COMMENTS: Wahl manufactured some truly lovely pens during the late 1930's, and Equi-Poised exemplifies that.beauty.  This is a late (relatively speaking) 'Poised, as great evolution occurred during the three-year-ish run.  Some of the plastics are chemically fragile, so that in addition to checking for cracks, one must examine for fluorescence and for frank crazing. Kashmir is... notorious. This one... pops. A clean pen overall with intact Kashmir celluloid with no chemical warning signs.

Point:  Flex Fine. Hits Broad+ Imprint: Exc Size: 4 7/8 " 12.4 cm PRICE: $525
COMMENTS: Stunning pen that integrates several "better" features.  The so-called tulip-clip pens are relatively uncommon, and often they are found with the clip snapped from the cap. Made in two sizes, this is the larger pen, full girth, a stubby item similar to the Personal Point military-clip pen in size.  Coral is a highly sought color and often is found heavily discolored.  Here we have great color preservation, larer size, relatively uncommon color and great condition. Oh yeah, the nib is a full (but not wet-noodle) flex that goes from a Fine+ to Broad+ in a very smooth and controlled (non-buzzy) fashion.  Hard to put this down once one starts writing with it.   Even my handwriting looks nice.  I would grade the pen Excellent+, save that at very top of the golden crown at top of cap, on side opposite cap, there is a small patch of brassing.  No brassing to those fragile cap-bands.  This one would stay in my Coral collection, save that I have one already.

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: 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).

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.

COMMENTSNot a little pen, the Military Clip Wahl is full #4 nib size and same diameter as the long standard pen. 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.

It is a Wahl nib correct to era, just not gold-seal.  Lovely pen. Killer 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.   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.

COMMENTSI 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.

COMMENTSMoire 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.

COMMENTSWahl 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

COMMENTSA late 1930's second-tier Wahl, this one shares the tapered/blunt look prevalent to Wahls from this era and share styling with the metal-capped and all-metal Coronet. Great nib. Lever really is not brassed- more "nickeled" having lost hte gold wash and showing white metal.  Nicks and such scatter on the plastic.  Stylish entry-level  flex-nibbed pen.

COMMENTSSkylines 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.

Point: Fine Firm
Imprint:   Perfect Size:  5 3/8" PRICE: $725
COMMENTS:   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.

Point: Fine.Firm Imprint:   Excellent Size:  5 " by 1/2" PRICE: $300
COMMENTS:  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:  A similar pen to one we sold recently, this one is in yellow gold filled metal rather than green gold filled. Truly utilitarian jewelry from the mid 1920's, this is one of the larger Wahl metal models (i've heard of a pen with a #6 nib, but have not handled one). This one packs the proper, "Wahl #5 nib". The point is XF and a bit scratchy.  No brassing is present but a tiny ding about 1mm in diameter is present by one of the breather holes in the cap.

COMMENTS:    Wahl made a huge variety of metal pens, mostly during the 1920's.

This one is in sharp condition, with a nice flexible nib. A charming pen.

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.
