WAHL-EVERSHARP SKYLINE FILLER PEN (USA, 1940s):
We present at auction an absolute icon of 20th-century design: the Wahl-Eversharp Skyline. Designed in the early 1940s by the renowned industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss, its radical teardrop silhouette was inspired by the aerodynamics of locomotives and airplanes of the era, instantly becoming the best-selling fountain 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 width of [Introduce width] cm.
This unit features a sober and highly elegant color combination: a deep navy blue celluloid cap paired with a solid black body. The cap is topped with a gold band and its iconic clip that crosses over the dome, proudly bearing the famous "Double Tick" (brand quality guarantee seal).
It mounts its original Eversharp nib forged in solid 14-karat gold (Made in USA). The filling system is the traditional side-lever mechanism, so characteristic of the American fountain pen golden age.
Condition (Expert Review)
Prospective bidders are urged to closely study the photo gallery. The pen is in an aesthetic condition exceptional for more than 80 years of history:
Celluloid and Metal: The plastics retain a deep sheen with no serious scratches, cracks, or bite marks. The gold elements (clip, band, and lever) are in very good condition.
Nib: In magnificent condition, clean and with the tines properly aligned.
Mechanics: The side lever sits flush with the body. (Note: since this is a vintage lever-fill pen, the original rubber sac inside may need replacement for daily use by the buyer, which is standard for pens of this era. It is delivered without an original case).
Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with insured shipping and international tracking number.
A fantastic opportunity to add to your collection a piece of American industrial design history!
