Well sort of:

I believe your pen is a well crafted after-market hybrid that started out life as the pen at left in picture 1. as probably as a ring top model, at some point someone made it into a pocket clip pen by taking a clip from one of the pens as in photo 2 (to the left in that photo).  The pens that sported that clip were student grade non-catalog pens that were made from 1927-9. And the pattern of Jade plastic on your pen was only made from 1927-8.  in 1928-9 Jade plastic was a different pattern.  WAHL plastics were Dupont plastics and were subject to variations in the rod stock supplied by DuPont.

The pens in the pictures I am pointing to were #2 size nib pens.

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.
