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 514 Eyedropper filler
|
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 0552 Gold Filigree
|
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.

Waterman Pen and Pencil Set - Red Nib
|
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
|
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 54 with Flex Nib
|
Very pretty black hard rubber pen with two gold bands on the
barrel. The chasing on the Clip-Cap is fairly good, as is the general
color. The chasing is worn on the barrel, although the color is a good tone of
black. The lever box is intact. Nib is a flexible fine-medium Waterman Ideal NY
#4.

Serenite |
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. Cartridge/converter filler (the unit is screwed out by the
rope-like silver ring). Light in weight, striking in appearance. 5 5/8", 144 mm.

Canadian-made Patrician Set
|
This is a Patrician set in nacre, Canadian made. The pen has discolored, the
pencil has not. The pen has a nice fine nib, on the flexible side but not
full flex. Lever filler. The pen's clip pivots more than I would like, but seems
secure. Almost no wear. Good imprints. 1/2 box is in nice shape - but it is a
half box. Cap is slightly lighter in color than the barrel. 5 1/2"; 140 mm.
No sac currently in the pen, but I can install one if desired.
