HISTORY:

Introduced in 1941 and discontinued in 1948, the Skyline was one of the most popular pens of its era. Generous wartime production allowances played their part, but its radical styling and consistently smooth and responsive nibs made it a favorite of writers then and now.

Eversharp was a pioneer in hiring well-known industrial designers (the Loewy-designedSymphonywas introduced in 1948); for the Skyline, it turned toHenry Dreyfuss, whose credits included numerous icons of modernist design. Few books on Dreyfuss mention his work for Eversharp, though the connection with his other prewar streamline designs – the20th Century Limited, for example – is obvious. This is not accidental: asthis essay notes, Dreyfuss later rejected streamlining, and did his best to minimize the extent to which he had contributed to that style.

Another peculiarity about the Skyline is its name. Eversharp literature often called it the \"Skyliner,\" but if marked, the pens themselves were branded \"Skyline\" – the name now universally preferred by collectors.
