Product Description
Type Vintage bulb-filling fountain pen, restored and working well.

Manufacturer and Year Wahl Eversharp, made in USA -- 1933.

Filling System The pen is filled via the bulb system. You unscrew the end of the barrel and squeeze the bulb a few times, letting it re-inflate and pull in the ink. We have installed a new sac and tested the pen to confirm that it's working very well.

Nib FLEXIBLE Wahl 0 steel nib. Please see writing sample.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a petite pen in all ways (length, width) in a beautiful color pattern. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as bite marks on the blind cap. The cap has a splotch of glue that secures the cap band. The top of the cap has bite marks. The cap band has moderate small scratches but the imprint, "A Century of Progress" is clear. The teeny clip has plating wear along the edges. The imprint is crisp.
