Description :

An exceptional piece of 1930s industrial design, this first-generation Wahl-Eversharp Doric fountain pen features the highly desirable 12-sided faceted body in beautiful Morocco Pearl celluloid. Equipped with a genuine, period-correct Eversharp Palladium-Silver nib, this pen is a fantastic candidate for restoration or a standout addition to any Art Deco collection. Sold as-found/unrestored.


  • Brand: Wahl-Eversharp
  • Model: Doric (First Generation, 12-Faceted)
  • Era: Circa 1931–1935
  • Material: Morocco Pearl Celluloid (Marbled Ruby Red / Burgundy / Black Veins)
  • Trim: Gold-Filled (Roller Clip & Greek Key Cap Band
  • Nib: Genuine Eversharp "Pal-Silver" (Palladium-Silver alloy)
  • Filling System: Lever-Filler


Cosmetics: The Morocco Pearl celluloid is in excellent aesthetic condition with vibrant, deep color depth. The 12-sided facets remain remarkably sharp and crisp, showing no signs of aggressive past polishing. Light, age-appropriate micro-scratching present from gentle handling.

Hardware: The gold-filled roller clip and classic "Greek key" pattern cap band are intact and secure.

Personalization: There is a crisp, factory-depth name engraving on one barrel facet reading: "CHAS. D. MAGEE".

Nib & Feed: Features a historically accurate, authentic Eversharp Palladium-Silver nib over the original multi-stepped ebonite feed. The nib shows dried ink patina/tarnish from storage but remains structurally sound with straight tines and intact tipping material

Mechanical / Functionality: Sold as-found and unrestored. The side lever operates smoothly against the internal pressure bar, but the original internal rubber ink sac has hardened over the last 90 years and must be replaced before the pen can hold ink or write.
