Wahl Eversharp Skyline Black w Silver Trim Fountain Pen NEW!

From the earliest days of manufacturing, engineering and design have been the key to making objects of enduring quality and beauty. Designers such as Henry Dreyfus and Raymond Lowy became aware that everyday objects could be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. In 1940, Eversharp contracted with Mr. Dreyfus to design the Skyline pen. Upon its introduction to the marketplace, it was considered one of the most revolutionary and aesthetically pleasing pens ever produced. Technically, it was extremely well designed. It resisted leaking at high altitudes, which earned it the honor of being chosen for issue to U.S. Navy flyers during WWII. Commercially, Eversharp took a huge risk with the pre-production cost of the Skyline, running in excess of a quarter million dollars. From its launch in 1940, it became one of the most successful and longest running production pens in writing history. Like all truly great designs the Skyline is universally recognized today as a collector’s item. Its design and quality were destined to become an enduring mid-century modern icon able to withstand the test of time. With the benefit of hindsight it became clear to us that if we made a modern Skyline pen manufactured faithfully to the original design, and used the best of modern materials and advanced filling systems, we could make these pens available to pen lovers like you. And so, the Skyline became the first pen produced by the new WAHL-EVERSHARP Company.
