A0000005818

BLACK WAHL-EVERSHARP SKYLINE ESTILOGRAPHIC PEN (U.S., 1940s):
We present at auction an undisputed icon of 20th century aerodynamic design: the Wahl-Eversharp Skyline. Designed by Henry Dreyfuss, this historic piece was the best-selling writing instrument in the United States during the 1940s.

It is a instrument with dimensions of [Introduce length] cm in length (closed) and a maximum thickness of [Introduce thickness] cm.

This unit in particular comes in the most classic, sober, and elegant finish of the line: solid black both on the body and the cap, contrasting with the characteristic clip over the dome and the side lever plated in gold.

The peculiarity of this piece lies in its original nib: forged in 14-karat solid gold, it bears the coveted designation "MANIFOLD". In the golden age of writing, these rigid and robust nibs were designed specifically to withstand the strong pressure required to write on carbon paper (carbon copies), which today makes them ideal for users with fast and firm writing or for left-handers, as they offer an unbreakable and smooth stroke.

Condition (Expert Review)
Prospective bidders are urged to closely review the photo gallery, which is part of the description.

Celluloid and Metal: The body retains excellent shine. The gold plating shows a good overall condition. Expert note: As seen in the close-up photographs, the black cap dome presents a small flaw / superficial mark near the upper ring of the clip, inherent to its more than 80 years of history, which does not affect the solidity or the functionality of the closure.

Nib: In magnificent condition, clean and with the tines perfectly aligned.

Mechanics: The lever sits perfectly. (Note: the original internal rubber sac may require replacement for optimal daily use. Supplied without the original case).

Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with insured shipping and an international tracking number.
