Yes, its a very common maker, and they are often to be found in mint/stone mint condition.. They just look SOOOO GOOOOOOD

W&Ls have always interested me. They made some of the best-looking frames next to Juncker, in my opinion (in fact the frames are virtually identical). But, unlike Juncker, the materials they used were not too much to my liking. The highly polished neusilber frames, the frosting, and the shiny core paint certainly ensure that these W&Ls look like new 65 years after they were made, but to me they lacked a little bit of character. I have one, looks very much like the one shown by Snni above.

But then I saw a couple W&L's in other collections that I liked much better... they were made from silver (like the Junckers) that took on a nice patina, they had a duller paint. Overall I liked the look much better. Almost every one of these earlier (I think they are earlier manufacture) EK2s I saw was unmarked. I looked and looked and looked, and finally found this beauty, marked '100' and with a matching small Tüte.

I love it.











Thanks for looking,

hi guys,

Yes, I agree with you. I like the mint, near mint, the well used and the very used EK's, too.

Trevor, your W&L small packet is very nice

Hi to all,

I prefer crosses that show their age and have the "been there" look (Just MHO). I have an almost mint EKII, which seems to me to be the most "lifeless" piece of my collection next to the worn ones.

BTW fantastic crosses + I LOVE Trevors worn one

I really love the 100s, as they are one of the easiest ones to identify (scrunched beading, hump).
