Waterman 94 Clip


BlotBot

Recommended Posts

I need a clip for a Waterman 94. There are slots in the cap, so this is not the rivet clip. Looking at other Waterman, it looks like the Waterman 5 has a similar clip. Can anyone confirm if they as the same?

Yes, it is vintage, I believe from the 1930's, but info on this model is scarce. It is a blue ripple, so I need the silver clip.

No, A golden clip.

The Waterman 94 Blue Ripple was made in 1928 if I remember well and it has golden trims : here is a picture of mine.

Mine has a silver band that is set back a bit from the edge of the cap. The lever is also silver. It looks similar to this one but with a blue-ivory swirl:

So the clip on this one is what I am looking for.

 

So your pen is looking like this one :

Please, confirm.

In this case, your pen is not made of hard rubber and not dating from the end of the 1930's.

There were several models of Waterman 94, all other the years, and we were not talking of the same one.

The clip is different too ...

Yes, this looks similar. I dont have it right now to check the details. Is the term "blue ripple" incorrect for this model? What name is used?

I think it's "blue and cream", but I'm not sure ("Ripple" is only used for hard rubber pens, refering to the lines the 2 tone hard rubber make on the pen).

Waterman called that color "blue" in the catalogs (the pen shown in post #6.) However, many collectors use the 'blue and cream' term today.

 

The key to differentiating yours is to refer to it as a celluloid or plastic 94, and not a hard rubber (HR) example.

 

HR 94s like the one shown in post #4 in this thread are different, even though they have the same model number.

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
