Today The WAHL-EVERSHARP Company is the result of a combination of years of hobby interest, historical research, passion for timeless design excellence, and the fortunate coming together of manufacturing skills, internet based distribution and the right people at the right time. The Wahl Company, Eversharp, Inc, and now The WAHL-EVERSHARP Company manufactured some of the greatest designs ever made into fountain pens. Many of which have stood the test of over 90 years time, and still look fresh, interesting and desirable. The WAHL-EVERSHARP Company traces its lineage back to 1915 when the Wahl Company produced the first successful mechanical pencil. Over the span of years, the company went through a number of ownerships including the Wahl Adding Machine Company, Eversharp Inc, Parker Pen, Parker Pen (Benelux), Astro Pen, Eversharp Pen Company and now production resumes under the new WAHL-EVERSHARP banner. Beginning in 2004, attempts began to secure the production capabilities necessary to manufacture the line of pens presented today by The WAHL-EVERSHARP Company. Working independently at first, Emmanuel Caltagirone in Italy and Syd Saperstein in the United States, began to lay the plans for a revival of WAHL-EVERSHARP’s “Greatest Hits.” In 2012 their efforts were rewarded by a combined effort that utilizes Mr. Catagirone’s vast manufacturing capabilities and Mr. Saperstein’s expertise in the history of the brand. marketing and distribution. The driving concept behind the pens is an answer to the question: What would WAHL-EVERSHARP pen products have become had the facts culminating in their disappearance from the marketplace for effectively 70 years not happened? The sheer passage of time has taught WAHL-EVERSHARP Company that some of the classic designs tossed aside after a few years production in the quest for ever newer ones still possess enduring attractiveness and have stood the test of the “design-time continuum”. These designs are recognized as both classic and as popular or more so among pen aficionados today as they were when originally produced. Many authorities consider the design of the SKYLINE Pen to be among the timeless icons of the 20th Century. Collectors and writers still seek out the surviving examples of this pen today, 66 years after production ceased. Time has taken its toll on these survivors in the form of brittle plastic, and the unpredictable ink containing characteristics of the rubber sac pen. Now The WAHL-EVERSHARP Company answers the desire for the classic retro look of the WAHL-EVERSHARP SKYLINE Fountain Pen, in a pen constructed of modern materials and incorporating a reliable, modern filling and ink handling system. WAHL-EVERSHARP Company is committed to the principal that the finest in materials, workmanship and design can be assembled, and, by keeping production and distribution costs under control still result in top quality pens that sell for prices within the reach of most pen fanciers.
