In the same year, the [[Eversharp|Wahl Eversharp]] also launched an economic line, the [[Oxford]], still in celluloid, and with gold nib. 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.

L'''[[Ink Shut-off]]'', illustrato nella figura, fu un'altro degli investimenti poco azzeccati dell'azienda: promosso come un meccanismo che permetteva di bloccare l'afflusso di inchiostro al pennino quando la penna era chiusa per impedirne l'uscita in caso di depressione, (come accadeva nei viaggi aerei, allora in forte espansione) era in effetti poco efficace, tanto che l'azienda fu forzata a ritirarlo dal mercato dalla Federal Trade Commission.
