At the Chicago Pen Show this year, I finally scored a pen set of the sort I'd hunted for years.

Seemingly related to the similar era Wahl Pacemaker, the deco Wahl Coronet set is a Wahl of quite high cachet. Found with black and with red inserts, the red- dubonnet (sp?) is the more desirable today. Often found flawed, this one pops.

I'm happy to do a bit of show-n-kvell (copyright isaacson LOL) with it and pictures follow.

Now, the irony. Despite the desirability and value of this pen, the challenge to find it at all never mind clean, this one now is dwarfed by the Wahl I picked up this week, arguably the most signifcant Wahl out there. But, that is a post for a couple weeks from now

Anway, here is my Wahl Coronet set, all gold-filled with dubonnet inserts.

regards

Congratulations on landing what I feel is one of the most beautiful pens ever produced. I've wanted one of these for years, but never had one appear at a time when I could have jumped at it. Perhaps some day... (sigh)

WoW!!!!!!!! That must be the one of the best (if not THE best) looking FP I have ever seen. Wish I had around spare 1500$ (this is a guess depending on the searches in the Web) lying around!!!
