A0000005818

WAL-EVERSHARP SKYLINE BLACK Fountain 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 an instrument with a length of [Introduce length] cm (closed) and a thickness at its widest point of [Introduce thickness] cm.

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

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

Condition (Expert Review)
Payers are asked to carefully observe the photographic gallery, which forms part of the description.

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

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

Mechanics: The lever sits perfectly. (Note: the original inner rubber sac may need replacement for optimal daily use. Comes without original case).
