Been pumping the fountain pen eye candy into the Facebook group lately, and I've been lax sharing it on the message boards, including this one. My bad.

Here's a pair of mid-late 1930s Sheaffer sub-brand WASP pens in the Celluloid pattern we call, "circuit board".

These two really are pretty nice. An OS Deluxe and standard Deluxe

And a rare shot where one of the WASPs tried to get away just as the camera fired.

I really like the green one. How large are they?

Standard size is about 1/2 wide across the cap opening. 5" or smidgeon longer.
