Waterman Pens


Waterman is one of the oldest pen companies in business - sort of. The original L.E.Waterman Company began in 1884. They did very well for years, producing many of the world's finest pens. They gave up manufacturing in America in 1958. Since that time, Waterman pens have been made by what had been their French subsidiary, which survives to this day.

Waterman Glass Cartridge Pen
dbx8 dbx8

Don't count on easily using this! It's a Waterman from the 50s that uses a glass cartridge. There's an empty one in the pen that you could try to refill. The nib is a fine Waterman 18 kg #3.  On the barrel is stenciled "Plume moyenne".  5 1/4", 135 mm.

Price: $70 with Free Shipping in the US

Waterman Set & Box
dbc11 dbc11

English made set in the style of a Waterman CF. However, given the problems finding CF cartridges, it's fortunate that this one has an internal squeeze-style converter. Pen is 5 1/2", 140 mm. Pencil working. Box has some wear, but set are in great condition.

Waterman 514 Eyedropper filler
dbx8

A very special Waterman collector's pen. The condition of the pen is nearly perfect. It has a broad stub Waterman Ideal New York #4 nib. There's a gorgeous engraving of initials SW on the indicia. The overlay is 14 kt gold. The one means a "cone cap" - basically it's friction held. I'm happy to answer questions, especially about this pen. The condition is immaculate. 5 5/16", 136 mm.

Waterman Pen and Pencil Set - Red Nib
pen1361

This set provoked several long discussions. I don't know what to label it. Let me start by saying it's in great condition. The set looks almost new. There's an artfully engraved set of initials "F M" on the bands (very professional and subtle). The cap looks like the "Emblem" model, while the barrel has a stairstep end (like the cap end of the #7, #5, or #94). It's a single arm lever (not Ink-Vue style). The nib says "Red Waterman Ideal Canada", and the very clear imprint also says that the set is from Canada. I'd say the nib is a flexible Fine-medium that's fun to write with.

Waterman 0503 Set -Gold Filled Filigree
dba4

There's a Basketweave pattern on this gold-filled filigree Waterman set from the 1930s. The pen and pencil were acquired separately, but since they're the correct match, they're being sold as a set. Only the pen is engraved. The nib is a semi-flex fine. The pen is 5 1/8", 13.1 cm. Super condition. The lever was repaired but is now fine and functional. So is the pencil.

Waterman 0552 Gold Filigree
dba2

This gold filagree Waterman is in beautiful shape, not engraved with initials or a name. The nib is a fine flex, although you can tell it was bent at some point in the past and repaired to straight. Otherwise the pen is in impecible shape. 5 3/8", 13.7 cm. In regard to the name: the "0" means "gold filled", the "5" solid gold barrel and cap, "5" lever filler, and "2" is the nib size. The lettering on the "Waterman's Ideal New York" nib is consistent with the style used 1907-1918.

Price: $425 with Free Shipping in the US SOLD

The Serenite has a bowed barrel by design, configured to better fit the hand. A the end of the barrel, this pen has a rigid, broad 18 Kt nib.  It's a unique design.
