WAHL-EVERSHARP SKYLINE FOUNTAIN PEN RED GT (gold trim) ~ The Skyline pen has a radical streamlined design, a renowned Henry Dreyfuss hallmark. Some have noted that the pen shows strong influences from the Dreyfuss designed New York Central 20th Century Limited streamline locomotive.

The Skyline was a huge success for Eversharp, eventually becoming, by 1945, the best selling pen in the USA.

Like all great designs the SKYLINE is immediately recognizable as a classic example of “mid-century modern.”

The Skyline is, in everyone’s opinion, the most iconic pen of its generation, along with the Parker 51.

Today’s Skyline Pen has been both faithful to the original SKYLINE design but by using the best of modern materials, advanced filling systems, and modern production techniques and even more affordable for everyone when it was released in 1939.

Wahl-Eversharp was founded in the early 20th century and quickly became one of America’s premier writing instrument manufacturers. Known for their innovative mechanical pencils and later, their stylish and technically advanced fountain pens, the company introduced the Skyline in the 1940s as a revolutionary pen featuring streamlined design and advanced engineering. With contributions from industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss, the Skyline became a bestseller and an icon of mid-century modern design. Today, vintage Skyline pens remain highly sought after by collectors and fountain pen enthusiasts alike.

The Wahl Eversharp Skyline Fountain Pen pays homage to one of the most iconic designs of the 1940s, blending vintage sophistication with reliable performance. With its streamlined barrel, lustrous finish, and aluminum cap, the Skyline represents a timeless fusion of form and function.

Originally introduced during the golden era of American penmaking, the Skyline remains celebrated for its Art Deco-inspired profile and innovative design. This model features a smooth writing stainless steel nib in fine or medium, and a snap-on aluminum cap that posts securely for comfortable, extended writing.
