Product Overview
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)
