You know, Patina is really important these days, and is becoming even more so important with vintage cars. I was surprised to learn that now there is a class of judging of cars that is called "Preservation" class; other then consumables like hoses, tires, belts, brakes, etc. survivor cars are now being judged based on how original they are, still on the road, etc.

Yes Preservation class is the hot new thing in Classic cars. Interestingly folks have decided the spare -no -cost , every nut and bolt 100 point restorations to better than new is no longer the best option.
As the former owner of a perservation Porsche good enough to win at the national Porsche Parade, I think this is a cool new trend.

I very much like the leafy design on the matched set there on the left. Does anyone have the name for that one?

I don't believe any of those to be tempoints but, all post 1921 models. Perhaps a tempoint is in the mix.

Geez, I'd believed you didn't play with non-Sheaffer. Who knew you were a man of many talents
Could be the long-cap ringies are not with Tempoint nibs. I probably... should... actually... look. Cough... cough....

David;
I believe you should look because I collect tempoints I just don't try to hold later Wahls anymore. Your date range was really sloppy as the start year is 1917 so you miss the majority of the 10's. In fact the tempoint starts at the end of '17 as Wahl played with the idea of just continuing production as Boston for several months with Boston/Eversharp trays and cases extant. I have a Boston Chicago ad dated to June 1917.

I always loved vintage sterling pens, but now that I live near baths renowned for their sulphurous waters, my silver pens go totally black in less than a week. Does anybody know how to prevent this, other than keeping the pens somewhere else?

The sizes are wrong for pens, but you need something like this: http://www.universit...oduct_list&c=75 copper particles bonded to an archival plastic. When the copper turns black, it's time for new plastic. Even a plain plastic ziplock sleeve ought to slow down the sulfur for a while.
Or perhaps this http://www.universit...duct_list&c=247 inside a poly bag.

I remember seeing your Jaguar photos on your laptop in D.C.; awesome car!
All my life I have had only low powered 4 cylinder cars because living in the great L.A. area the insurance was very expensive. Janet and I still have 4 cylinder cars that are so slow; especially my VW diesel!
My dad laughs at me and my "whimpy" cars.
