Sheaffer Eye Candy. A Pair o' WASPS.
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.
