1941-1948
Eversharp engaged industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss (1904-1972) in 1940 to design a new line of pens and pencils. This new line would take advantage of Eversharp's repeater pencil success and its reputation for making high quality nibs, but would be a move away from the Art Deco influenced designs and gimmicky features introduced by Wahl Eversharp in the late 1930s.
Dreyfuss drew heavily from prior works, especially the streamlined New York Central Railroad locomotive, the Twentieth Century Limited.
The higher line pens are usually fitted with the more elaborate
"banner"
style nib. This style has "Eversharp" stamped at a diagonal across the nib under an elongated hexagonal breather hole, with "14K" above "MADE IN USA" stamped near the base.
A
double check mark
indicates the pen carried the Eversharp lifetime warranty.
For parts, no end, no base, as found.
Has a good ink sac, 14K Banner nib, Desirable color, Gold Check/Check lifetime shield.
