I have discovered an old nos eversharp pencil called a slim jim. Model #23 DuBonnet. I am unable to make out exactly how it works...probably because I don't think it's all there...Any owners or wise men/women out there? Thank You, Michael

Can you post a picture of that? The "Slim Jim" model I'm familiar with is a Skyline-styled ballpoint. Maybe that's what it is?

Lets see here... right now the Skyline is my favorite model, I own one and I love it. I also like Bantams and would sometime like to get a few more, right now I have a green marbled one. Someday I'm going to get my hands on a standard sized Doric, fingers crossed that I find one in the wild for cheap. I own one now, but it's one of the lower end pocket sized models and its cracked section makes it unusable unless you want inky fingers, I can't complain too much though because someone gave it to me.

I'd rather spend my money on pens instead of shoes and handbags.

how 'bout the new skyline?

 

Sure, why not. I'll add it.

I love the skyline, I've even owned one made out of solid gold!

I just received a vintage Skyline that I need to restore. I love the look of the Doric. The new product is gorgeous too. I'm going to have to save up for one. Thanks for reviving them, Syd!

Despite my name and it's dubious "shut off" valve gimmick, I have to agree with Casca, when he tells Brutus: "'twas not a crown, neither; 'twas one of these Coronets"?

I gravitate to the Fifth Avenue myself. I know I'm in a serious minority, but the Fifth Avenue to me is one of the most beautiful pens ever designed. I mean, it's an art deco hooded nib! But really I just want to know more about anything Wahl-Eversharp, especially the design process for their pens. I kind of see a certain craftsmanship in aesthetics that just wasn't present for other pen manufacturers out there. Every pen is like a work of art, even something as innocuous as a Ventura! That's my two cents at least.

I'm new to the brand, so please educate me, but I do not see deco band on the list, or are those models known by another name?

I wouldn´t say no to a Coronet, if I happened to get one, but I am definitely into the Skylines. The old ones, mind you, I just can´t get used to the colours of the new ones.

 

I love the Modern Stripe ones, those colours are superb, and I have managed to get some of them, still being on the lookout for the rest of them. For me, the single coloured ones just don´t have the same appeal and most of the single coloured body/striped cap ones aren´t what I´m looking for either - although I do have a superb pen/pencil-set in Dubonnet Red with a red/green striated cap, gold filled derby and broad cap ring, that I like very much, perfectly matched up with Diamine Red Dragon ink.

I tend to gravitate to the Skylines, but also like the really old ringtops. Currently, I have a couple Skyline Command Performance pens, a couple Gold Award pens, some demi/standard/executive plastic pens.

Also a matched pen/pencil set in the gold filled ringtop, and a sterling ringtop (which needs some serious silversmithing to return it to function). An old Oxford was snagged as part of a junk pen lot as well.

A strange School/thrift pen, which has an unusual wide band at the base of the cap. Oh, and a "Golden" Symphony NIB old stock pen set was recently acquired.

Don't think I've ever run across that model before!

And I didn't have the heart to tell her why.
And there wasn't a part of me that didn't want to say goodbye.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
