Wahl Eversharp Machine Turned Patterns


PenHero

Recommended Posts

There is a bar that slides on to tabs on the inner part of the lever. It is easy to replace once you source the part. Just look for a trashed Wahl metal pen in a similar length to harvest the part.

 

It just so happens that I had such a bar in my parts bin. Slid right in and worked like a charm.

This is by far the simplest mechanism I've seen yet. I would never have figured it out on my own; my mind was heading in the opposite direction towards unnecessary complexity.

Many thanks, Greenie.

Just acquired a pattern of Wahl Metal pen I have not seen before. Even with a deep dive into some vintage literature on the PCA site and also with Pen Hero's outstanding summary, I am not sure what the pattern is. The pen is a #2 full length pen with a Wahl 2 nib. I have the matching pencil and box as well. Please click on the pictures for more detail.

It reminds me of Charlie Brown's shirt.

Chevron, I suppose.

Very nice set, btw. Beautiful condition.

There's no catalog reference to Chevron that I am aware of. Does not mean it's not the name, but no reference.

The Check/Unique pattern is more of a chevron pattern. This is a nice zigzag patter, but that name is already used for another pattern of Wahl metal pens.

 

I therefore declare the place holder name to be the "Charlie Brown" pattern of the Wahl metal machine turned pen.

 

I will gladly drop this term for any name that is obviously better, or certainly if we can find a reference for this pen.

 

Or, if you prefer, this is like the "Ripple" pattern, but turned the other direction. Axial Ripple? Sideways Ripple? Nah! "Charlie Brown"

      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
