Wahl-Eversharp Model Poll

[penbeggar107]

I have discovered an old nos eversharp pencil called a slim jim. Model #23 DuBonnet. I am unable to make out exactly how it works...probably because I don't think it's all there...Any owners or wise men/women out there? Thank You, Michael

Can you post a picture of that? The "Slim Jim" model I'm familiar with is a Skyline-styled ballpoint. Maybe that's what it is?

[LedZepGirl]

Lets see here... right now the Skyline is my favorite model, I own one and I love it. I also like Bantams and would sometime like to get a few more, right now I have a green marbled one. Someday I'm going to get my hands on a standard sized Doric, fingers crossed that I find one in the wild for cheap. I own one now, but it's one of the lower end pocket sized models and its cracked section makes it unusable unless you want inky fingers, I can't complain too much though because someone gave it to me.

how 'bout the new skyline?

how 'bout the new skyline?

 

Sure, why not. I'll add it.

[Harlequin]

EquiPoiseds (especially v4 side clip) and Dorics!

[Penne Stilografiche]

I love the skyline, I've even owned one made out of solid gold!

[riskmaker007]

I do have a skyline

[riskmaker007]

I heard all skylines are 14k gold is this true?

I just received a vintage Skyline that I need to restore. I love the look of the Doric. The new product is gorgeous too. I'm going to have to save up for one. Thanks for reviving them, Syd!

Despite my name and it's dubious "shut off" valve gimmick, I have to agree with Casca, when he tells Brutus: "'twas not a crown, neither; 'twas one of these Coronets"?

I'm interested too. Which is why I just bought a restored Gold Seal fountain pen.

I gravitate to the Fifth Avenue myself. I know I'm in a serious minority, but the Fifth Avenue to me is one of the most beautiful pens ever designed. I mean, it's an art deco hooded nib! But really I just want to know more about anything Wahl-Eversharp, especially the design process for their pens. I kind of see a certain craftsmanship in aesthetics that just wasn't present for other pen manufacturers out there. Every pen is like a work of art, even something as innocuous as a Ventura! That's my two cents at least.

[Dcharles]

I'm new to the brand, so please educate me, but I do not see deco band on the list, or are those models known by another name?

[jcreilley]

You can lump the Decoband into the gold seal flat tops I suppose.

I wouldn´t say no to a Coronet, if I happened to get one, but I am definitely into the Skylines. The old ones, mind you, I just can´t get used to the colours of the new ones.

 

I love the Modern Stripe ones, those colours are superb, and I have managed to get some of them, still being on the lookout for the rest of them. For me, the single coloured ones just don´t have the same appeal and most of the single coloured body/striped cap ones aren´t what I´m looking for either - although I do have a superb pen/pencil-set in Dubonnet Red with a red/green striated cap, gold filled derby and broad cap ring, that I like very much, perfectly matched up with Diamine Red Dragon ink.

[LukeSkyliner]

Red pyraline coronet - in perfect condition - is a "grail" pen of mine.

[Addertooth]

I tend to gravitate to the Skylines, but also like the really old ringtops. Currently, I have a couple Skyline Command Performance pens, a couple Gold Award pens, some demi/standard/executive plastic pens.

Also a matched pen/pencil set in the gold filled ringtop, and a sterling ringtop (which needs some serious silversmithing to return it to function). An old Oxford was snagged as part of a junk pen lot as well.

A strange School/thrift pen, which has an unusual wide band at the base of the cap. Oh, and a "Golden" Symphony NIB old stock pen set was recently acquired.

[sightsome]

Ive got the new rosewood Decoband. Love it more everyday.
