Let's see, I've got a sterling LeMan 100 (old style), "gold" LeMan 100 demonstrator; blue Patrician (not vintage), sapphire Edson, sterling Gentleman, sterling L'Etalon, Opera, Expert and 3 Phileas--red, blue and green. I love thtem all!java script:emoticon(':D')

I own ten, of which four are LeMan100 (in one version or another) which I believe are among the best pens ever made. I wanted to echo what another gentleman said about waterman in a previous post...."they are the most consistent writers out of the box". I've never had a waterman that did not perform the way it was expected it to perform. -- a little dry maybe, but that IS my expectation for waterman. Very consistent quality control, and very well made pen

3: A Phileas, a Maestro, and a Maestro pencil. All in black. Great instruments, each of them.

Lessee-- 4.

1. Waterman Phileas, Marbled Blue, M nib
2. Waterman Harmonie, Black/gold trim, M nib
3. Waterman Hemisphere, Metallic Blue, F nib
4. Waterman ?? (pics in the ID thread), Marbled Blue, F nib

Plus the matching BP for the #4 FP.

The Harmonie actually arrived with a "baby-bottom" nib, and is back at Sanford getting adjusted.

Wow, the Hemisphere arrived a few days ago and the color is just amazing. I got numerous comments at work the last few days about the beautiful metallic blue of the pen-- more often the FPs just go unnoticed.

Well, I may as well join the fray and make my first posting. I have all sorts of Waterman's, some that actually write. Modern and vintage combined number close to two dozen. Family and friends have also recieved many.

To name a few:
A Blue Phileas (F)
3 100 year pens
A BHR 54
A Red Ripple 52 1/2
A Mint Taperite from 1951
5 or 6 other Taperites
3 CF's
A Commando
A Thorobred
An English W-2
A Marble Desk Pen

Nice to know ther are others out ther that suffer from the same affliction. Thanks for all the terrific information you provide. Now, if I could just find a way to repair all those crystalized ends.....

I have 3 Waterman pens: a Kultur in demonstrator blue, a Phileas in dark marbled blue, and a nice Hemisphere in all stainless.

I've got 5 total.

3 Phileas Solid Black Fine Point Fountain Pens

1 Phileas Solid Black Medium Point Fountain Pen

1 Phileas Red Marble Medium Point Fountain Pen

Okay -

1 - Liason

2 - Laureat (spelling)

4 experts

3 Carene's

I currently have two Watermans: Carene Royal Purple F and L'Etalon Canyon Brown M and i'm hunting for black Carene and black L'Etalon.

Regards,

Dare

2 Patricians (black and black/pearl)
2 58's (different black configurations, extremely useful for giving people with Pelikan M1000 a size complex)
3 Red Ripple 7 (Red, Gray, Purple)
1 First year 100 year pen
1 Emblem pen
1 Blue Ripple set
2 94's
a bunch of BCHR ring tops (not quite sure how these got here. I think people give them away on eBay auctions).

1 Harley Davidson (Phileas, IIRC)



A dealer near me had a box of 100 year pens that were NOS, but the ends disintegrated when he went to put them for sale, as bakelite will do. I know that he had new ends fabricated, but am not sure if any are still available.

One smooth- (and beautiful-) as-silk Carène, brand new. I am wanting a Phileas for "casual days".

Update: don't have the Phileas yet, but instead a purple Kultur which is downright pleasing and writes smoothly.

vintage black Junior lever
black Hemisphere
blue swirl phileas

More into Japanese pens and "51"'s

Well, currently I've got only two Watermans and I love them both.
- Brown/black marbled Exclusive with medium nib
- Black Phileas with med. nib.
They're both wonderful instrument with which to write and, at some point when finances allow, I'll look to acquire another...or two..or three....

I have over 75, mostly pre-1920. Some are in original boxes.

I'm new to this forum, maybe there are better ones out there; before I start posting too many pictures I'll check things out....

I also collect Esterbrooks, and Japanese "Taisho and Showa" era fountain pens... and for some reason old Mont Blancs keep accumulating... I must have two dozen of those now...

But old Waterman's are my passion.

My favorite is a "chocolate" 54, with an accountant's nib. I use Noodler's Kiowa Pecan through it, mostly.

Nice to meet all of you.

I own a total of 5


Expert II FP & BP Black
Carene Black Sea BP
Phileas Blue Marble FP & BP.

I enjoy each one.


Bill

Searching for more

For me:
Phileas fountain pen in plain black
Phileas rollerball in green marble.

Hello to anyone,

I have over than one thousand Waterman, which I started to collect 30 years ago. I have only after WWII pens, start with a classic 1953's C/F to late productions. I have also ballpoints, rollers, pencils, plastics, lackers, sterling, platted to solid gold, thru wood pens... schools pens to high luxury one's....

Also forgot 2 Harley Horizons and 2 Harley Combustions. And the blue Expert.

LeMans 100 Fine
LeMans 100 pencil
LeMans 100 ballpoint (stolen!)
LeMans 100 Fine Opera (stolen!)
Those are all black. I will know tomorrow whether I have a LeMans 100 Rhapsody Red heading my way.

If I count her pens;
LeMans 200 Fine Black
LeMans 200 Fine Rhapsody Green
A small green striped celluloid of unknown to us name other than Waterman.
And a LeMans 200 Fine in Rhapsody Red is on the way.

Yes, we really like the LeMans. After the LeMans, none of the newer models have had the look and feel that quite says take me home.

regards,
- Jan

Well, we can add another Phileas to my list.

I just purchased one from eBay, a green fine FPN.

Had purchased a lot of assorted Japanese pens
within the last two weeks and the one I had planned
on using as a secondary pen leaks like a sieve so
I just threw my hands up in the air and bought
another Phileas.

I really was planning on buying an Ici et la but
I didn't want to have to buy more cartridges.

Jan, a LeMan100 red is a Coral Patrician. I just don't want you to wait for a non-real pen.
I need the ALL STERLING LeMan 100!!! Wish me money!

I have two; one modern and one vintage - a Taperite fine point and a Harmonie fine point. I like both of these pens, and would certainly buy other Waterman's if I were a collector, but I have enough pens to cover my needs so I only have these two.

I have one Black and Gold Charleston, a Red Marble Hemisphere, and a Pink Shimmer Hemisphere BP.
I would like a Carene, a Serenite (or more than one), an Exception, an Expert, and another Charleston (or two).

I have three: a #56 HBR, a #5, and a modern Kultur.

Yes, I want more ::looks in empty wallet:: but I'm constrained right now. Rebuilt car engine comes first.

I was not sure if the Rhapsody was 200 only. Thanks for the clarification. Good luck with the Sterling. It is going to take a rather large piggy bank, eh?

I made the trek down to Artlite today to get some ink. Once again I doodled with a Carene. They just do not do it for me. The LeMans continues to rule.

I have three Watermans, more than any other brand I own. I am a newbie to pen collecting and my collection hasn't yet made it to two digits. To the best of my knowledge, all my Watermans are Laureats: a fountain pen in dark-red-and-black marble, a ballpoint in green marble and a rollerball in red-and-black marble. They are all good looking pens and they all write well. But for day-in/day-out smooth, effortless writing combined with classic good looks and that unmistakable Teutonic efficiency that says something like "I know what job I'm supposed to be doing and I can do it better than anyone else," I'll take my green-striped Pelikan 140.

I have 15 CF

1 laqued black with yellow gold nib
1 laqued turtoise with yellow gold nib
1 crocodile silver sterling with with white gold nib
1 crocodile gold plated with yellow gold nib
1 gold white plated guilloché with white-yellow gold nib
1 silver plated chevron (basket) with white gold nib
1 gold plated Sheraton with yellow gold nib
1 chromed moired with white gold nib
1 gold plated moired with yellow gold nib
1 gold plated barleycorn with yellow nib
1 silver sterling barleycorn with white nib
1 gold plated milleraies with yellow gold nib
1 silver plated milleraies with white gold nib
1 brushed stainless steel with gold plated ends
and clip with white gold nib
1 chromed/ brushed stainless steel/ gold with white and yellow gold nib
And I have stocked 1 white gold nib and 1 yellow gold nib
All my CF are in mint conditions, the nib are all like new nib

My CF FP

I have 8 Exclusives, 4 FPs (Brown, Red, Matte black & Blue), 2 BPs and 2 RBs. I would looking for the Green FP.

1 black phileas
1 grey taperite (not sure of the model????)

Two Phileas, One Hemisphere, One Expert. Want to start collecting more of the vintage ones though.
