How Many Of You Collect Wahl Gold-Filled And Silver-Filled Pens?

[discopig]

I have quite a few of them myself and really enjoy them. Their nibs are (usually) delightful, most of mine range from semi-flex to wet noodle. I don't see people on FPN mention them very often, and I know a lot may find those pens a bit too gaudy, but I know there has to be at least a few members who are really fond of them on here.

 

My favorite pen, out of all my collection, actually happens to be a Wahl "0" gold-filled ringtop with the nicest wet noodle nib I've tried.

I only have one and it is a fine pen. I would be interested in acquiring another, however I seldom come across them.

I can't consider myself a collector, but I really enjoy the look and performance of my gold Skyline.

a Wahl, gf ringtop was my 1st find.. once restored, Susan Wirth kindly showed me how to harness its semi-flex nib.

I only have one, a #6 size greek key set in the box in gold filled. If your only going to keep one I might as well keep a good one!

[gregamckinney]

Only the smallest ones with the size 0 nibs. I collect them since I also collect Bantams which also have the size 0 nibs.

I like to have them as a complimentary display. I have two different patterns in gold filled in each of yellow gold and green gold.

I've always liked Wahl metal pens and have about 20 moderately priced, great writing pens that I'm going to be selling, watch the classifieds or message me.

Looking to get into them

Such an underappreciated set of pens

[John54green]

I have a variety, gold filled, one silver filled, and a couple solid silver. All are beautiful in my eyes and write well. I think they are under-rated/collected.

I had a new gold-filled pen coming in but it's either lost or USPS is having some serious delays. Hopefully it ends up coming.

I only have a few, but I really do like the pens. They often look rough, but usually clean up well.

I'm waiting for an auction to end on a golf-filled ringtop with a very pretty nib. It's a sickness.

[discopig]

That pen I mentionned above ended up arriving.. and I have another size "0" gold-filled ringtop arriving in a few hours. Once it's here, I think I'll take a family picture and post it here.

I love these pens. Wish I could take better pictures, but this topic shows my collection, minus my new brain/Niagara and Wedgewood.

About the metal ring tops does anyone know if they hold less than avg ink vs regular sized FPs? I do have a few smaller FPs (lever-fillers) but never thought much about total ink capacity.

That is a great collection!

The sacs are much smaller and shorter so they don't hold that much ink compared to bigger pens. I'm not sure exactly how much they hold but I'd guess anywhere around 0.3-0.5ml for #0 ringtops and 0.4-0.7ml for #2 ringtops.
