14495: Wahl-Eversharp Signature: large "Rosewood" red and black hard rubber lever-filler, 13.6 cm long, gold filled trim, roller clip, appears to be a c. 1927 pen but fitted with a Personal Point section with screw-in Gold Seal nib unit from c. 1929. Slight waviness to the nib's top surface does not affect its writing, which is smooth and responsive with great line width variation.

13366: Wahl-Eversharp Gold Seal set: oversize green and gold "Deco Band" lever-filler, 13.5 cm long, gold filled trim, Personal Point nib unit, roller clip, rare and mysterious variant with "X" seal instead of the usual double check mark. Massive manifold Gold Seal nib, slight roughness to area around end of lever, nicks to bands at ends, shallow depression on side of barrel (probably from overenthusiastic spot polishing; not really possible to photograph). Includes matching pencil, uses 1.1 mm lead, has name on side, scrape marks, more heavily used than the pen.
