Fountain Pen WAHL-EVERSHARP SKYLINE (USA, 1940s):
We present at auction an absolute icon of 20th-century design: the Wahl-Eversharp Skyline. Designed in the early 1940s by the famous industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss, its radical teardrop silhouette was inspired by the aerodynamics of locomotives and aircraft of the era, quickly becoming the best-selling pen in the United States during that decade.

This is a very comfortable and well-balanced instrument, with exact measurements of [Introduce length] cm in length (closed) and a maximum thickness of [Introduce thickness] cm.

This unit features a sober and extremely elegant color combination: a deep navy blue celluloid cap paired with a solid black barrel. The cap is topped with a gold band and its iconic clip that crosses over the dome, where the famous "Double Tick" (brand quality seal) shines.

It is fitted with its original Eversharp nib forged in solid 14-karat gold (Made in USA). The filling system is the traditional lever-filler mechanism, so characteristic of the American fountain pen golden age.
