Waterman C/F & Modern Converter

[postman]

Has anyone had any luck using a modern converter in a vintage Waterman C/F? I have several C/F's with old cartridges that I refill with a syringe. I would like to pass these along to family and friends if I could fit them with easiy obtainable converters.

I haven't found any modern converters that fit. However, C/F pens do take Waterman brand (and ONLY Waterman brand) mini-cartridges. In USA, you can only find the minis in Florida blue and Black.

 

You can get a broader range of colors of Waterman brand mini-cartridges from www.websterspenshop.co.uk. They usually carry South Seas blue, red, purple.

 

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the information. I just happen to have a box of Waterman mini-cartridges and I'll give one of those a try. The Watermans are slightly smaller in diameter in comparison to some other international sized cartridges which would likely explain why only the Waterman mini's work in this application. This will be a great way to bring these fine little C/F's back into service.

 

Thanks again,

Terry

Terry, you can still obtain Waterman Lady Converters (which fit the C/F) from the Waterman service center in Janesville, Wisconsin. Call 1-800-BEST-PEN.
