Manufacturer and Year Wahl Eversharp, USA -- 1930s
Length 5-5/16"
Filling System Lever filler. The filling system is working well with a brand new sac.
Color Black and pearl cap and barrel. The white "pearl" color is ambered, especially on the lower part of the cap and near the lever on the barrel. The pen has flat black pieces on both ends and several decorative bands. There are four narrow bands in total and a 3/16" decorated "deco" cap band. The trim is gold filled and it has the gold seal guarantee stamped on the cap.
Nib Full flex! The nib is engraved: Wahl Eversharp 14k Gold Seal Flexible. Please see writing sample. It flexes easily and gives line variation from extra fine to almost double broad.
Condition Excellent condition. The only real flaw is a crack in the celluloid mid-cap, but it does not extend to the lip and is very stable. This is a large sized, beautifully colored pen with some ambering but mostly excellent coloring. Because of the color and pattern it is difficult to see scratches or flaws. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and light to moderate scratching. There is a flower-shaped dimple at the end of the barrel which looks like it was intentional and is not a scratch. The lever has a line of pitting at the very top. Although the cap bands are golden and shiny, they do have some scratching and a bit of plating wear especially along the edges. The clip has very light scratching, plating wear and one thin line of pitting along the right upper edge. The cap imprint is faded but readable.
