My Very New, Very Old (I Think ...) Waterman

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

i have recently purchased this waterman eyedropper pen. In full working order! I have been doing some reasearch and belive the age to be between 1910 and 1920. I would appreciate any information that you can tell me about this pen and if possible narrow down the age of the pen? Also what do you belive the value of this pen would be?

 

Thanks in advance

Nice pen. Enjoy!

 

I'm looking for a smooth (not chased) black cap (only) for a 12 size Waterman.

If anyone has a spare knocking about in the parts box, please let me know.

 

Best,

Daniel

You ask about the value... If it is very flexy and you take some good pictures of how it writes you may get a very fair price on e-bay. Its looks, however, are quite like a number of pens from around 1910 - they do have their special humble beauty, and I personally like them, but they are not very catchy.

      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..

      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
