SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE PICTURES -
This lot features a pair of RARE Art Deco WAHL EVERSHARP oversize fountain pens and a matching pencil – each piece is 5 3/8” in length. One pen has better color and condition overall but missing an iridium tip off the nib – the other large pen is missing the clip and the color is not as good but  the Wahl Signature Very Flexible medium nib is good with plenty of iridium. The cosmetically better pen is 5 3/8” in length with a cap opening of 9/16” – no chips or cracks. The pen has Very Good color  – a slight bit of overall patina but, for this pen, the cap and barrel are unusually bright. There are no chips or cracks, no digs or bites and no personalizations. The cap is signed near the edge – the Gold Filled trim is very good with no brassing I see to the lever, various bands and the large Greek Key cap band – the Wahl Eversharp signed Roller-Ball clip shows no wear even to the clip ball and the famous Gold Seal is above the clip. The handsome black ends are wet-paint glossy and perfect. On this pen, as mentioned above, the nib is unfortunately missing the iridium on one tip. It is a large 14K Wahl Eversharp Gold Seal Flexible – a Fine with no cracks but missing the iridium on one tip. Any example of this depression-era Oversize Art Deco Gold Seal fountain pen is scarce – this one needs a tip  on the nib, otherwise a better than average example. -------------------   The other Greek Key Wahl 5 3/8” pen also has no chips or cracks but the color is more toned, especially on the cap.  The large 14K Wahl Signature nib is a very flexible medium with lots of iridium – an excellent nib. The bands, black ends, Gold Seal etc all OK – the clip is missing.       -----------      Now to the matching pencil which has seen much use and shows a bit of damage. The trim is dark, the color is a quite toned and there is a short, few mm crack line and some strong crazing in the area above and to one side of the clip  -    These are high grade, Depression Era Oversize pens, all are scarce -  2 is very unusual   -   out of a local estate. ***NOTE*** All our pens are sold as acquired from local estates, Untested.  Buyer pays 9.95 safe bubble shipping, Insurance and tracking in USA
