Description
A vintage D. N. & E. Walter & Co. advertising pen tied to one of San Francisco’s long-established furnishing and interior goods firms. The black barrel is printed with the company name and the phrase “Service Since 1858,” referencing the founding date of D. N. & E. Walter & Co., a business established in San Francisco in 1858 and later known for carpets, furnishings, and related interior products. (The Walter Companies)
With its black barrel, chrome-tone cap, and amber-toned end detail, the pen has the clean, practical styling typical of mid-century promotional desk pieces. It works well as a small collectible for advertising ephemera, San Francisco business history, or vintage desk styling. The exact production date of the pen itself is not documented in the sources I found, so c.1950s-1970s is the safest stylistic estimate rather than a hard, documented date. (The Walter Companies)

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
