What? Can't see it behind the Crystal?
How's this?...
Impressed?
The Skyscraper comes complete (as a limited edition) with certificate and general information; with the pen initially coming securely in this little plastic cover:
The Crystal display unit comes boxed and well protected from the evils of the post:

But the Skyscraper does not just soar because of its packaging (as good as the packaging is). The Fountain Pen itself is actually quite beautiful:
The detail on this pen is just supurb.
As for the official blurb; this is what Wahl Eversharp has to say:
"Spanning the first 100 years of WAHL-EVERSHARP history, perhaps nothing embodies the essence and spirit of achievement of that era more than the iconic, soaring skyscraper. Thus we chose the skyscraper as the emblematic design for our most ambitious pen design to date. It naturally takes place at the top of the entire Skyline Collection of fine writing instruments. It's quintessential Mid-Century Modern "Clean-Line", harks back to the peak of achievements in industrial design."
Bottom line, this is a lovely looking fountain pen.
What I can't tell you yet is what it's like to write with. The information leaflet boasts a semi-flex nib so I'm looking forward to trying this out. I haven't inked it yet - I have a lot of pens I inked for FPD that I really want to use first - but watch this space for a writing sample some time in the future.
Until next tine...
From stoplights to skyscrapers, turn anywhere in civilization and you will see imagination at work. It's in our inventions, advances and remedies and how a single parent masterminds each day. Imagination is boundless, surrounds us and resides in us all.
