Product Description
Type Fountain pen set
Product Name Skyline .... the sets with solid gold caps were called "Sixty Four" in association with the televsion show.
Manufacturer and Year Eversharp, USA -- 1940s.
Length The fountain pen measures 5-1/4" and the pencil measures 5-3/16".
Filling System The fountain pen has a lever filling system. We replaced the sac and it's working well. The pencil has a clicker mechanism to extend and retract the leads. It takes 1.1mm leads. A few leads can be found in the barrel.
Color Marine Green barrels with solid 14k caps. The Skyline marine green is a dark green. It looks black in dim lighting. The trim (clip and lever) is gold filled. The pencil has an marine green cone. The solid gold caps are smooth without patterns.
Nib FLEXIBLE MEDIUM ITALIC 14k nib. It's got plenty of tipping and feels smooth. The tipping is shaped like a cursive italic but the tines also spread for even more line variation. See the writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition. No dents on the pencil or the pen! The barrels have no scratches and the cap imprints are clear. The gold components have polishing marks but no dings. The pencil cone has some light bite or tool marks. No personalization, which is rather uncommon for these solid gold component pens. The fountain pen is fully restored and both pieces are working well.
