I just purchased a nice, older Waterman C/F fountain pen and am looking for a converter that will fit it. Has anyone had any experience with these pens and can recommend a converter?

 

Thousand Thanks,

 

Robert

Okay, I found the answer to my own question. It seems the converters for the old C/F fountain pens are very hard to come by. Good news! The Waterman service center in Janesville still has plenty of them. They are $11.50 each with a $5 shipping fee. So, if anyone needs a mint converter for your old C/F pen, better call 800-237-8736!!

Wow, good job tracking them down!

I was checking out an old "Pen Doctor" column from 2003 on Pentrace (link to column here) and the last question deals with using international cartridges in a Waterman C/F with a metal sleeve.

A previous "Pen Doctor" article mentioned that Pendemonium had some NOS cartridges, for the C/F but they're long gone....

 

Thanks for the info, Robert!

Just an update. They no longer have cartridges but I just bought a converter. They are now $21.00 with slow shipping. Inflation hurts!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
