Wahl Eversharp Coronet Gold And Green Shell Pyralin C1936-1941

Recommended Posts

Hi, Folks,

This is one of the three types of Eversharp Coronet pens with plastic barrels. The Wahl Eversharp Coronet Gold and Green Shell Pyralin, model 17734, sold for $10.00 and the matching pencil, model 10604, for $5.00. The plastic barrel models of the Coronet are also distinguished from the full cap and barrel gold filled model by the square windows in the cap top and cap lip.

This pen started as a real disaster. Found in an antique store, the clear ink view section was disintegrating, heavily crisscrossed with cracks like a broken window. I sent the pen out for repair. The top of the barrel was sawed off and a new clear section was glued on as a replacement. The repair was nicely done and only shows under careful examination. The cap shows wear from lots of use.
The two other plastic barrel models feature a black barrel, with a choice of rhodium plated cap (pen $8.75 and pencil $2.75) or gold filled cap (pen $10.00 and pencil $5.00). The cap design is identical to the pen shown.
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, Jim.

 

Love the Coronets!

 

Great deco design....

 

Had the matching pencil for this pen once.....along with several other gold Coronet pens (some with black and some with red pyralin accents).

 

Thanks,

My goal is to get one of the full gold fill pens with black pyralin, and the black barrel ones with both the gold and rhodium plate caps for a complete photo shoot.

Has anyone ever seen an example of the rhodium cap model in person? The pencils crop up with some frequency. But I don't think I've even come across the pen eBay over the years (for comparison, I've seen 3-5 sterling "First Year" Sheaffer Crests over the same period).

Found the answer to own my question! A set sold on here a few years back, in fact. Photos are broken but linked thumbnails still work:

Is the beneficiary of the trade still around these parts?

      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
