N.o.s Price: Skyline Pen And Pencil Set


WhiteStarPens

Recommended Posts

Quick question for the Wahl Skyline collectors out there; I've found a mint condition NOS set of two navy blue Skylines, is £130 a good price?

They come in the original box and the pencil even has its spare leads.

I was wondering if it was a bargain for a New Old Stock set of a fountain pen and a mechanical pencil.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Still sounds a tad high to me. But if you love NOS, stickered, etc, it could be worth it. Non stickered boxed sets on ebay seem to be closer to $100 - 125 USD, not GBP. I am not sure what premium is typical for the NOS stickered.

Thank you for your replies!

 

I bought the set with a 10% discount so perhaps I got a better deal.

The seller replaced the sack so I suppose that contributed to the price.

There were no stickers but I contacted the seller and he said that it was found with five other identical sets in the stock room of an Irish jewellers.

 

I think it was worth it though, free postage etc. from a guy I've bought from before.

 

I'll post a review of what it's like when I've had some time with the pen.

 

Thank you once again.

      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..

      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
