Configurer
The Wahl-Eversharp Skyline Black and Silver Rollerball Pen stands as a stunning revival of what is widely considered the most iconic pen of its generation. Originally released in 1939, the Skyline represents a radical, streamlined design that serves as a renowned hallmark of legendary industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss. With its distinctively tapered barrel and over-the-top cap crown, design enthusiasts have long noted that the pen shows strong visual influences from the Dreyfuss-designed New York Central 20th Century Limited streamline locomotive.
This timeless silhouette was a historic success for Eversharp, capturing the spirit of its era and eventually becoming the best-selling pen in the United States by 1945. Because it is immediately recognizable as a premier example of "mid-century modern" design, the Skyline was proudly chosen in 2012 to become the very first pen manufactured to launch the revived Wahl-Eversharp Company.
Today’s Skyline rollerball remains meticulously faithful to the historic Dreyfuss aesthetics while incorporating the absolute best of modern engineering. By utilizing advanced production techniques and high-grade contemporary materials, this edition offers unparalleled structural durability and a remarkably smooth, liquid ink flow. It delivers an authentic vintage footprint that is even more accessible and affordable for modern writers than the original was upon its debut just before World War II.

Why Choose the Skyline Black & Silver Rollerball?
The Wahl-Eversharp Skyline Rollerball offers the rare opportunity to write with a true industrial legend without the delicate maintenance or leaking risks associated with vintage estate pens.

This modern black and silver configuration provides a sleek, monochromatic corporate look that commands respect in the boardroom, making it an excellent conversation piece for history buffs, design purists, and professionals alike.
"The Skyline's unique cap geometry isn't just for show—Henry Dreyfuss designed the deep-setting pocket clip to allow the pen to sit completely flush and secure inside a standard 1940s gentleman's breast pocket. When you hold this pen, you are holding the exact silhouette that signed historic peace treaties, drafted mid-century architecture blueprints, and drove American correspondence through a golden age of design."
