Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Circa 1931 Wahl Oxford Fountain Pen in the Jade Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in wonderful writing condition.

Ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Hand cleaned the inside of the barrel and cap. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new silicone sac to preserve the Jade celluloid for as long as it can. Hand polished the Gold Filled Clip on the Cap, Double Ring Cap Banding, Lever, and 14K NIB. There is little wear on the clip to the high point on the ball, no wear on the cap banding, and just a touch of wear on the edging at the center of the lever. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the cap and barrel to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the celluloid of this fountain pen. The cap has a darker color than the barrel but that is mainly due to the black inner cap.

This fountain pen is made from celluloid in green with a greenish-white swirl pattern commonly known as Jade. The coloring is vibrant and displays quite well. The cap has a clean imprint at the top that reads, "MADE IN U.S.A." and "WAHL OXFORD" on the clip.

The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly. There are no monograms or personalizations on the barrel or cap. There are no cracks or repairs to the celluloid. This Wahl Oxford measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 6 7/8" posted.

The lever assembly has been cleaned, polished and oiled. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills wonderfully - just like it should.

This pen has a Wahl Eversharp 14K NIB that writes smoothly with a Fine to Broad line variation. When measuring the actual iridium tip of the NIB it measures at .63mm with digital calipers or a medium point. When creating the writing sample the NIB writes with a fine line measuring roughly .55mm and flexes up to a broad stroke of 1.14mm when measuring with digital calipers using medium to firm pressure. The writing sample provided was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue Ink.

These pens in Jade are absolutely stunning and difficult to acquire in clean condition. This Jade Celluloid really makes a statement, it is not perfect but pretty darn clean. I would consider this Wahl Oxford to be in Fine to Very Fine Condition. It is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
