Sometimes I see a pen on eBay and I'm like, "Why has nobody bid on that? It's a good price for that pen. I'll bid on it because it deserves to be bid on." Normally I get outbid. But every once in a while I don't.
This is a Wahl-Eversharp Gold Seal ringtop in woodgrain ebonite. It was already fully restored. I have no idea why no one else picked up on it.
I mean, look at that woodgrain! The rich color! The four trim rings! The Gold Seal! Eversharp made excellent pens and this is no exception. Some of the trim has lost its plating, and there are a few toothmarks on the end of the barrel. But other than that it's in great shape.
The nib says "medium" but it's fairly fine, and dry. Like all hard rubber pens it's lightweight and feels warm to the touch.
The Gold Seal with its double check marks was how Eversharp indicated a lifetime guarantee. It's the same as Sheaffer's White Dot and Parker's Blue Diamond.
Just a handsome little pen, and I'm happy to have it.
