I've sold a few, but the ones I have left:

 

Waterman Kultur x3

Waterman Phileas M

Waterman Commando (c. 1940s)

Waterman W-3 FP+Pencil

Waterman Laureat M

Waterman CC

 

That's all I can think of right now. I'd like to add a few more Watermans to my collection. :)

Hello all,

 

1 blue Edson

 

That's it for now. Went straight for it!

OK I admit it, I am an old fart. I have been writing with a fountain pen for the last 50+ years. I have several. My favorite of all of them is the Expert's that I use. I have 3 different Ball points, and 3 different fountain pens that I use daily.

I sell Cadillac cars, and always write thank you notes to everyone I talk with. The ink is becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain locally.

A customer grabbed my Waterman Fountain pen to "Look" at it, and dropped it on the floor and bent the nib.

It is the second time that happened.

When I attempted to straighten it, it broke.

Waterman was out of Medium Nibs.

So I took an Arkansas Oil Stone, and honed the tip.

It now writes so much better than ever, With its slightly wider stance, it really has a dramatic pattern.

My customers always comment on the look of my notes.

I even use it while drawing my Pen and Ink Watercolor's I do.

The change to the NIB makes it write so nice now.

Hi and welcome to FPN

 

 

If I count well, that's 11, so you seem to be richer than you thought... :D

 

I am sure many of us would like to see some pics of them, especially that Torsade and the Facette...

 

 

Enjoy the forum

Ah . . . Waterman pens.

 

Over the years they have been my favorite pens. I've had several Waterman Ideals, and Facettes, Laureats, Hemispheres, and Charlestons. My favorites are my Charlestons.

 

But, alas, for many reasons, I am parting with several of my Watermans, including one of my vintage Watermans, a Laureat and another "unknown" tortoise colored pen with an 18K nib. All of them are incredibly smooth. So, if you are interested, take a look in the classifieds.

Hi everyone!

 

I've only started out using vintage fountain pens around 2 months ago but I really enjoy my Watermans out of all of my vintage pens.

 

  • My favorite, the Waterman Ideal 0052 1/2v, with a super flexible and wet Ideal nib
  • Newly self-restored Waterman 32AV with a medium flexible wet nib

Hope to add more in the future!

 

All the best,

Skye

I just picked up my first today, a Waterman Ideal 12SF -- it's also my first sleeve filler. Needs a new sac and some TLC, but the nib is quite flexy and I think it'll be a nice little writer.

Beautiful!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
