My second Wahl Eversharp Skyline is in the demi size and still has the original price sticker. . . . . #wahleversharp #skyline #fountainpen #vintagefountainpen #antique #fpgeeks #fpn #fountainpennetwork

So I have been wanting to do this for some time and it is only partly complete. I am excited about the results so I decid to share my progress. I got this idea that I wanted a metal pen with a hammered look. Inspired by some fantasy Parker 51 caps I had seen, I first tried the Krylon Hammered look spray paint. It did not work out. You can see the cap of this Kara's Kustoms Ink still has the spray paint effect. That's when I decided I needed to pull out the Dremel. The barrel shows what my first attempt at getting that hammered effect looks like. It still needs some work and I still need to work on the cap but so far I am happy with the results. . . . . . #diyfountainpenfinish #hammeredmetal #hammeredlook #karaskustoms #hammeredpen

Today we are looking at the Wahl-Eversharp Skyline. The red and green striations are striking and the nib is bouncy. #wahleversharp #fountainpen #skyline #vintage #vintagepen #antique #antiquepen #fpgeeks #fpn #fountainpennetwork

Here is the Waterman's Emblem next to the TWSBI 530 for a size comparison. #vintage #fountainpen

This is the last vintage Waterman pen in my collection. I have others but they are all from the 1990's or newer. The Waterman's Emblem is what the company had to come up with after warranty issues with their 100 year pen. I've read that it was an issue with the government but I also read that it was quality issues that made keeping the warranty expensive. I am not sure the reason but when the 100 Year pen production ended, the Emblem started. It's a good sized pen and it has been compared to a Montblanc 146 in size. I don't own one so again I am not sure if its true. The nib responds to slight pressure but I would not say it's a flex nib, so, I did not do flourishes for the writing sample. #wayermansemblem #watermanshundredyearpen #100yearpen #vintagepen #fountainpen #fpgeeks #fpn #fountainpennetwork #antiqu #antiquepen #pennerd

Continuing with the Waterman theme, we have a Waterman's 354 with a medium flex nib. I am getting this information from the original sticker still on the barrel that shows a price of $3.50. I like how the section gently slopes towards the nib and then just drops off. I think it gives the pen a unique look. I just dipped the nib and was able to write what you see in the picture plus a few flourishes before it railroaded. I think the pen still has the original sac which seems pliable but I don't want to fill it until it has a new sac. . . . . . #vintagefountainpen #watermansideal #waterman354 #antiquepen #pennerd #pengeek #fpgeeks #fountainpennetwork #vintage #flexnib #antique #fpn

I have never reviewed this pen but I did a short video (less than 7 minutes) just showing the pen. Thanks for watching.
