    Description

    Rare Wahl-Eversharp Art Deco desk set measuring 20"×9"×10 1/4"T. It has a green marble/onyx base that is in excellent shape with no chips or cracks noted. The green base has the original felt on the bottom that is loose and needs to be reglued after the pen holder repair is done. One of the signed bakelite pen holders is unscrewed and the previous owner tried to Super Glue it leaving residue on both sides that needs to be cleaned up and rescewed together.  It may need a new screw. I would leave the repair  to someone that works  with antique pens. The letter opener is 11 1/4" long and has some small chips on the handle and wear to the finish from use on the brass blade. The 2 pens are unsigned and have #3 Wahl nibs with one of the missing part of the tip. Both pens have hairline cracks around the lever that I couldn't get pictures of. The ink blotter is 5 1/2" long and also has small chips on the edges. These chips are small and to be expected with a desk set that dates back to the 1920s or 30s. They don't distract from the beauty of this vintage set. Local pickup is welcome. Shipping costs are high due to double boxing and size of the set. Please check my other auctions for a antique Parker pen holder.
