More Eye Candy

Recommended Posts

Since we're showing off Wahl Metal Pens, I thought I would post a combo show and tell and pattern quiz. Can you name the patterns?Eye Candy?

 

Candy, ya sez ya want candy? Heres a 2 Pound Box of it. Some in various sizes of the same pattern:

Or two 1 pound boxes

Because they are easire to identify in the 1 pound box, try to name them from left to right in the fist i pound box and from top to bottom in the second.

 

When it comes to Precious Metal Pens Wahl had a good number. Here are some Gold ones and some Sterling and Gold ones.

Can you name them clockwise starting at ten o'clock?

Great collection and nice pics, but soooo small i can barely make out hints of pattern.

 

Even with the 600pixel limit, perhaps i can post some of your pens shot at LA couple years back. At lesat i can line 'em up so each pen uses the full 600 pixel limit. SOrting out which pattern is which would be fun to try :D

Thanks David, that would be a big help. I just shot these with little "prep" ...wham bam shoot em in the tray...no light tent was used this time and the detail quality suffered. I did use Photoshop, but cut down the pics from 30" plus dimesnions to 14" and then the auto edit feature of the FPN software seems to have cut the pixel size and resolution further.

 

For me the ID of the patterns is easy but for those less familiar, the hints of detail that mean something to me might not jump out so easily to others. When all is said and done, some of my pics will need to be re-shot before I eventually add them to the Pensbury manor website as I hope to add pages and pages to my website that will hopefully become the definitive Wahl-Eversharp resource reference. (There are many errors in existing reference material on some websites in their attempts to define the Wahl Eversharp history and other pen facts, and these errors have been repeated and the mis-information compounded so many times on copy-cat sites that the erroneous facts have taken on a truth of their own. This will need to be sorted out and will be when I get the new pages up.

 

Thanks 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..
    • 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
