The Wahl pen company started life in 1905, building adding machines. The purchase of the Eversharp Pencil Company in 1914 put them in the business of writing instruments, and in 1917 they moved into the fountain pen market, with the acquisition of the Boston Fountain Pen Company. The first Wahl Eversharp pens were the Tempoint, and they proved to be very successful for Wahl. The all-metal pens introduced shortly afterwards proved even more successful, available in several materials and sizes, these pens were of very high quality, and are today sought after by collectors, especially in the larger sizes.

The Deco Band Personal Point pens were introduced in 1928, as Wahl's premier line. These large pens were considered top of the line, with an inter-changeable nib/feed assembly that could be fitted in the section. This allowed a customer to select a pen, and then choose from fourteen different nibs for the perfect combination. They were guaranteed unconditionally, with the Gold Seal mark on the cap. The pens were first made in Black and Pearl, Coral, Jade, Lapis Blue, and Rosewood. Black was added in 1929, and the wonderful Green and Bronze in 1930. Today, the Deco Band is among the most highly prized of collectible fountain pens form the Golden Age of pens.

The Doric was Wahl Eversharps effort to capture the market for a more streamlined, modern appearing pen. Introduced in late 1930 or early 1931, the Doric has a twelve sided cap and barrel. Like the Deco Band pens, they were available with the Gold Seal guarantee. The original colors offered were Jet, Morocco, Cathay, Cashmere, and Burma, these were respectively, black, burgundy marble, light green marble, dark green marble, and dark gray marble. In 1932, the adjustable nib was introduced. A small sliding metal piece allowed the nib to be adjusted for flexibility. These nibs were made in several sizes, and were available until 1939. In 1935, the Dorics received a new style clip, without the Roller Ball, and in addition a new plunger vac filling system was added to the line. New colors, including lined marble in green, brown, gray, blue, and burgundy were added.

The Skyline was the first pen introduced after the reorganization of the company in 1940. Launched in 1941, it was a very new look, radically streamlined, with a domed cap top. Produced in very large numbers throughout the war, the Skyline kept Wahl Eversharp afloat for a few more years. They were made in several colors, Black, Green, Blue, Brown and Gray, in both plastic cap as well as gold fill and solid gold cap versions. There were also brown, blue, burgundy, and gray stripe moiré cap and barrels, and gold fill and solid 14K gold cap and barrel models.
