Wahl Eversharp Machine Turned Patterns

Recommended Posts

Hi, Folks!

 

I'm going to start a thread on Wahl Eversharp Machine Turned Patterns and see what I can contribute so we can get a reference going. I'll add pens and pencils over time and encourage others to do the same. Thanks!

This is a Wahl model 433A Colonial pattern 12 Karat Yellow Gold Filled fountain pen c1921-1924. It is the shortest, at 4 5/16 inches, of the three sizes of clip metal pens with the engine turned Colonial design, a straight line pattern on the cap and barrel. The barrel has a rectangular blank for engraving. It features a Number 3 14 karat gold nib stamped Wahl Tempoint Pen, possibly indicating that this is an early production pen. Wahl marketed pens under the Tempoint name at least as late as 1920 before branding their fountain pens as Wahl in 1921. The clip and cap top band are stamped with the Wahl name. Model 433 also came as a ringtop pen and a choice of 12 karat yellow gold fill or sterling silver for $7.00 or 14 karat green gold fill for $8.00. Matching Eversharp pencils were available for $5.00 and $6.00, respectively.

I have a couple of ringtops with the Check pattern. I'll have to look at them tonight, but I think they're sterling. Waterman made pens with a very similar pattern, much like everyone had a pen in the Gothic style.

I just looked at your article on the patters and it is a superb reference. I will spend many happy hours reading and rereading the information.

Thanks! I'm up for any corrections / improvements since I don't have 100% of the reference material from 1921-1929.

Hi, Folks!

This is a Wahl Console Design 12 karat yellow gold filled fountain pen c1928. This is the most commonly found clip pen size of a rather uncommonly found Wahl metal pen. Other larger size pens are known but rare. An unusual feature of Console Design pens is the red mottled hard rubber section. The pen features engine turned sets of repeating panels of bell and flower shapes around the cap and barrel. Introduced and probably only produced in 1928. The barrel has a rectangular blank for engraving in one of the panels. It features a Number 2 14 karat gold nib stamped Wahl. It sold for $7.00 in 1928 and the matching Eversharp pencil was $3.50. Ringtop pens and pencils were also made.

This pen is engraved WAHL - EVERSHARP over GOLD FILLED MADE IN CHICAGO, U.S.A., indicating a later pen, likely 1929. The barrel has a small rectangular blank for engraving between the second from the bottom sets of rings. The medium size pen was model X7164 and sold for $8.00 in 1928 and the matching Eversharp pencil was $5.00. Ringtop pens and pencils were also made.

      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
