Hello all, I have a lot of waterman vintage and modern lol, ranging from waterman Patricia lady onyx, 14VPSF Prior 1917 with clip and black chevron design, 1930 3v, 1950 cf ideal mint with original glass cartridge, early 1970 graduate steel with flair design and the torsade, 1930 #94 set, 512v and w5 in blue.. Pink.. Gold.. Gray..

laureates in marble and shadowed designs, executive, the exclusive, 1989 French bicentennial man 100 set with complete wooden box and so forth, green and blue marble Phileas, red mineral rhapsody, and reflex model pens.

A blue marbled Laureat, a Charleston and an unidentified vintage that looks like a 515 with an Ideal nib and no Made in England imprint.

Life's too short to use crappy pens.  -carlos.q

I use my three Kulturs every day (have them inked with blue, red and green ink). Just re-inked my very first fountain pen the Executive after a year or so out of rotation. Forgot just how nice its' fine nib writes.

After today's purchase of a stainless with gold trim c/f, I now have 4.

The other 3

Red marble Laureat M

Gun metal Supermaster M

Green mottled Centurion M

 

I haven't gone "really" vintage yet, but it's only a matter of time.

I've since added an Ideal 88 with a lovely semi flex nib.

I have one I just acquired, Have no clue what model it is. Can't seem to find anything that even remotely looks like it. The body is dark red and the pen cap is chrome with a diamond pattern that pushes onto the body. The pocket clip seems really short and says Watermans. On the body it says Watermans Made in USA. Otherwise the only other markings are on the nib which says Watermans Ideal 14KT.

An Amber Carene, an ivory Charleston, a pink Hemisphere set, and an old Expert ballpoint that I got for high school graduation. It's the pen that made me realize the difference between pens and Pens!

My fingers are always inky and I'm always looking for something new.  Interested in trading?  Contact me!

2 Hemispheres, just received a Metallic Cognac and waiting for a Comet Red to arrive. Waiting on converters and ink so haven't used the one yet.

 

As far as looks, the Cognac is quite stunning. It's metal with clear glaze and looks like a really deep red from an angle but if you shine a light on it

you can see that the metal base is dark orange. It's really spectacular.

 

I did buy one of the Harley-Davidson ones (with the flames) a few weeks ago but it looked kind of tacky so I gave it to a young co-worker who goes

to college, figured it would impress the youngsters. I did try it out when he put the cartridge in and must say it wrote really smooth.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

A few 100 year pens, a 52V, a Man 100 (soon two as the one is the bicentenaire version which I'm fond of, and I'd like one I dare use at work). Somewhat random... But none of the more modern stuff I am afraid.

Nice combination of pens. The vintage / antique ones are especially wonderful, aren't they?

52 in BHR nickel trim

74 in BHR with broad gold barrel band

94 in blue ripple HR

Hundred Year pen in Lady size, green translucent

Hundred Year pen in black, plain

58 in BHR, nickel trim and <perfect> imprints (just arrived).

 

Every one of my Watermans has a flexible nib -- the 58 is <awesome>; but I must say that the 52 and the 74 are both of them wonderful nibs, too. I shall try to take photos, by and by.

      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

      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
