Recommended Posts

Hi, I have a Waterman 32A Set, Fountain Pen and Pencil. That I cannot find listed in the books or on line? Info. about the Set; The F.P. is 5 1/8" Capped x 6 1/8" Posted. They both are Black! Lever Filler, Chrome Furniture, Single Thin Ring on Both Caps, The F.P. has an Amber Window built into the section and the nib is 14kt Gold. They are NOT in the Waterman Blue Label Past and Present The First Six Decades Book. PIctures are below. Can anyone tell me anything about this set? It's age and any other information.....? Thank You....

I don't have a precise date for it; mid- to late 1930s, possibly even dribbling into the start of the '40s. It's not in the 1936 catalogue, but as far as finding a reference to the set, I think you can take some comfort from this snippet from that book:

That catalogue only showed about one pencil to every five pens, but gave this as an assurance that if you wanted a set, you could have one.

It's mainly pens, just now....

Oh, good heavens. He's got a blog now, too.

      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
