Hello, I'm new here (read my post in the New Members' Forum), and had some questions about pre-1900 Watermans.

I've seen pictures of early 1900s Watermans, the whole sliver/gold filigree/overlay on black rubber thing, but Ive never actually seen pre-1900 Waterman pens. I'd really be interested in seeing Waterman in its infancy, say 1884-1890. If you know of anywhere with pictures, let me know.

Thanks,

Matt

Here is an article by David Nishimura, who has the oldest known surviving Waterman:

Here is his profile of Waterman EDs, which have a few more picture.
