| But the real masterpiece of [[Eversharp|Wahl Eversharp]] will saw the light in 1931: the [[Doric]], celluloid multifaceted pen, in pure Art Deco style, which is said to be inspired by the columns of Greek temples. The new pen, one of the most beautiful pens ever built, was made of celluloid in five colors from exotic names, ''Kashmir'', ''Morocco'', ''Cathay'', ''Burma'' and the classic ''Jed Black''. To those was added, although it did not appear in advertising and was produced only for a very short period, the ''Black Pearl'', which therefore is very rare. | | But the real masterpiece of [[Eversharp|Wahl Eversharp]] will saw the light in 1931: the [[Doric]], celluloid multifaceted pen, in pure Art Deco style, which is said to be inspired by the columns of Greek temples.

− | Nello stesso anno la [[Eversharp|Wahl Eversharp]] lanciò anche una linea economica, la [[Oxford]], sempre in celluloide, e con pennino d'oro. Queste penne, pur essendo economiche, sono quasi sempre penne di buona fattura e all'epoca avevano un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Per buona parte degli anni '30 la produzione della [[Eversharp]] è dominata dalla [[Doric]] e vedrà l'introduzione del pennino gradabile nel 1932, un redesign della penna nel 1935 e l'introduzione del meccanismo dell'''Ink Shut-off'' nel 1936, che venne adottato poi anche dal nuovo modello [[Coronet]], altro capolavoro dell'Art Decò.

These pens, although economic, are almost of good quality and had an excellent value for money. For most of the '30s the production of [[Eversharp]] is dominated by the [[Doric]] and will see the introduction of gradable nibs in 1932, a redesign of the pen in 1935 and the introduction of the mechanism of the ''[[Ink Shut-off]]'' in 1936, which was also adopted by the new model [[Coronet]], another masterpiece of the Art Deco. |
