PenHero Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hi, Folks! Thought I would start a photo thread on Monitor, which was a sub-brand of Wahl Eversharp. This is a Monitor fountain pen in green pearl and black mottle c. 1930s. Monitor was a sub-brand of Wahl Eversharp. This 5 1/4 inch long pen favors a more upscale 1935 Wahl Oxford model in size and shape and has MADE IN USA over MONITOR stamped on the clip face. All trim is lightly gold plated, though this example shows a lot of plating loss. The italic gold plated stainless steel nib is stamped MONITOR over 14 over MADE IN U.SA. The Wahl Oxford pen was $1.00 in 1935 with a 14 karat gold nib, so this Monitor was probably much lower in price. http://www.penhero.com/Temp/Monitor_1280_01.jpg Thanks!

Paul-in-SF Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Would they have made a piston filler with a translucent ink chamber? There's a pen on eBay at the moment with those features. It certainly has Monitor and Made in USA on the clip, and Monitor 4 on the nib, but the photos are pretty useless otherwise, and the description even more so. Link to post Share on other sites
