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

      By asota · Posted

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.
