1937 Green Snake Lizard Skin WASP VACUUM-FIL Fountain Pen. This pen is very uncommon. There are no WASP catalogs since it is a Sheaffer sub-brand WASP == Walter A. It seems as though WASP pens were meant to compete with the likes of Esterbrook. There are magazine advertisements and this pen appears in one from 1937. Most gold nib, vacuum filling WASP pens are in the circuit board pattern. A few are in mottled Marine green and even fewer are in the snakeskin or lizard skin pattern like this one. Even more uncommon are gray snake skin WASPs. Is in great vintage condition. The barrel has a crisp imprint of Wasp Vacuum and the patent dates. This amazing nib is not hallmarked but collector lore says they are 12k. This one looks to be fine. Very unusual, and very nice. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Pens & Writing Instruments\Pens\Fountain Pens\Sheaffer”. The seller is “rarefindantiquities” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
