Wahl Branded Skyline

[Addertooth]

I won't provide the link, as it is considered disallowed behavior. I am not affiliated in any way with the sale.

Currently, a WAHL branded Skyline is selling on eBay. The word "Skyline" does not appear in the ad's name.

The clip is stamped with WAHL, as versus the most common Eversharp.

The clip looks like it will need cleaning and likely plating. It has the correct WAHL nib.

 

For someone looking to get one of these unusual Skyline pens, this might be an opportunity.

I have not seen one of these show up for about 6 months. They are uncommon.

One of these already rests in my display cases, so I have no interest in a second.

is it the pen with the (rather ridiculously) high starting price of $169?

I have one of these as well. It is black, with narrow cap band and Wahl branded nib and clip.

Joss, I believe that is the one. For its condition, the price is too high for most people. But for someone who is itching to fill that "slot" in their collection, it could be important to them.

The one in my collection was a luck find. A horrible blurry picture in the advertisement gave vague hints it was a WAHL variant, and at $40 bucks it was worth the risk.

 

In the final analysis, they are uncommon, and only seem to come up for sale about every 6 months, which makes them less common than "Executive" Skyline pens. One of those sold for about $168.50 the other day. Not everyone thinks that scarce equals desirable. I will get scarce, if the price is right.

I have only one such "WAHL" Skyline (view the clip), the blue moiré shown here. I purchased it in the later 1990s. My other moiré FPs, and all my other Skylines are marked "EVERSHARP" on the clip.

Wow! That pen is so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing -

Yep, my Wahl Skyline isn't nearly as nice. Nice find DonnWeinberg.

The one on hand here is a basic brown Demi, with the WAHL nib with a heart-shaped breather hole.

The nib is smaller than the typical Skyline Nib, but it IS flexy.
