From the Wahl-Eversharp collector's point of view this show is pretty good. While I am the only Wahl-Eversharp excluusive seller, there are a number of sellers with very nice Wahl-Eversharp selections to choose from. There are a good number of Deco Band oversized Flat Top Gold Seals, Equipoised in all sizes including a good number of hard to find colors in the larger sizes like to Blue Shell (lined) Doric Gold Seal with silver trim and visualated section/barrel, and many verions of pens in Green-Bronze. There are tons of Skylines to be seen; presentations, moire modern stripes with generous gold trim derbies and cap bands. Some Executives, but not many or any with completely good qualities,
I managed to pick uo a large number of Wahl-Eversharp parts that are a little hard to find, a pair of Solid Gold capped Fifth Avenues in mint condition; one a 6?4 in Buckskin Plastic barrel.
The show lives up to it's name "Supershow" as there a more tables than I have ever seen at a pen show. The services are good with hosted bar and hors d'oervres and Pizza at 5:00 today. Many very friendly folks banded together to venture forth to a wide variety of good reataurants nearby. On Wednesday night David Isaacson and I went to Sakura Sushi restaurant. Last night I spent a wonderfoul couple of hours with Paul Gade who posts here from time to time at dinner at Sweetwater Grill and tonight I had the privelege of dining with a nice group of New Yorkers who all went to Basura Thai restaurant. Afterwards there was a rather large contingent of cigar smokers gathered in the outdoor registration lobby. To name a few of those seen there, (not all were smoking) was Paul Erano, Rick Propas, Roger Cromwell, Adreas Lambreau. Cliff Harrington is here too. Hehas one of the largest Wahl Eversharp collections in the world.
I am leaving out too many names and it is now 12:30 am and the assigned tables for Saturday and Sunday will open at 7:30 in the morning, so I need to get to sleep.
Sorry for this short report, but more will be wriiten tomorrow or Sunday, I hope.
Look for some reports of significant Wahl Eversharp items and trades to be mentioned.
