Gold Filled Wahl Pen


farmdogfan

Recommended Posts

I have this old Wahl pen in decent shape, which i don´t know much about, it´s about 11,8 cm long capped and has a size 4 nib, which is a nail, i would like to know how old it is and what the model is called.

 

It came with a box, and a propelling pencil ( which has some plating loss and dent in it ).

That is a nice Wahl!. The #4 nib is slightly unusual as most of them seem to be the smaller #2.

May we live, not by our fears but by our hopes; not by our words but by our deeds; not by our disappointments but by our dreams.

Thanks, i was hoping for a somewhat flexible nib, but this is the opposite, harder than a nail (but smooth though).

 

Another thing is that i believe that the section should have been metal as well as the body, so maybe it is a replacement.

The section is probably correct. Most of the Wahl metal pens have metal covered sections.

However, the console pattern has a red ripple section, and the Check/Unique pens seem to come with a black hard rubber section.

 

The pens this length have #2 or #4 nibs.

Nice pen.

I just won a ringtop in the Colunnade pattern, which I don't see too often. Nobody else wanted it! A little pricey but not outrageously so for a rare pen in decent shape.

Update: the pen arrived, and it's a beaut! Nice condition, new sac and an unexpectedly good nib. If the seller had thought to describe it I wouldn't have got it for the starting price.

Thanks. There's a gouge out of the section but the metal is in surprisingly good nick. Here's a picture:

      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
