Wearever 'Tiger'

Color: Tiger striped tan & black
Material: Resin?

I just love the finish on this pen. I’ve seen this ‘tiger stripe’ in green and grey, but the bronze really works. A lovely little writer, too!

Wearever Pen/Pencil

Color: Black
Material: Celluloid or plastic?
Filler: Lever
Date c. 1940s
Nib: M/F Steel
Working? Yes

The pen/pencil duos absolutely fascinate me! This is a lovely example, with a stunningly smooth nib for a third tier pen, and a pencil that advances perfectly. A smart, and very ‘deco’ looking combo! This one ends up getting used a lot, and never fails to get comments.

Wearever Pioneer Flattop

Wearever Pioneer

Color: Jade
Material: Celluloid
Filler: Lever
Date c. 1920
Nib: M 14K
Working? Yes

This pen may have some of the best coloring for 1920s jade celluloid I have ever seen. It’s absolutely brilliant. Some brassing to the cap band and lever, but minimal wear. Has a good sac and the nib is a smooth writer, now that I’ve managed to sweet talk the tines into proper alignment.
