| The design
movement now called
Art Deco applied classical motifs in design and decoration to modern
objects
and materials; you can't find better examples of Deco in the pen world
than the Eversharp Dorics, which were manufactured throughout the 1930s
in a variety of attractive celluloid finishes. The full-size pens had a
twelve-sided cross section, with roller clips on the early models and
ornate
gold-filled bands. This particular example in Green on Black dates
from the early 1930s.
Wahl's "double check"
medallion
(above) was affixed to the company's highest-grade pens, much like the
Sheaffer white dot (which it superficially resembles), but only later
did
Wahl offer a lifetime guarantee. |
