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.

Black English Waterman 503 set with the original box and papers in great condition.  Looks mint, although I installed a new sac in the pen. Nib is a soft, semi-flex fine.  Lever filler. 5 1/16", 130 mm.

Canadian Waterman - Flex Nib
 dbc11 dbc11

Burgundy Canadian Waterman lever filler in great shape. Main wear is to the barrel (from cap wear and posting).  The nib is delightful. Very flexible, it ranges from a wide medium to broad with very little pressure.  There's one cavaet: a fine crack or deep scratch at the base of the nib. I've filled the pen, used it, and there's no leakage through the crack/scratch at all.  The nib is cleaner than when I shot the picture.   Lever filler, new sac. 5 1/16", 130 mm.

English Waterman - Semi-Flex
dbc11 dbc11 

Dark red/burgundy Waterman lever filler with a good semi-flex nib. Moderately worn with brassing of the lever, edges of the clip, and cap band.  The nib is a "Waterman's 14 Ct England 5". It's medum and spreads to broad.  5 1/8", 130 mm. The nib makes it - fun pen! Lever filler.

Waterman Canadian - Semi-Flex

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 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.
