Can Anyone Identify This Pen?

[Vespagirl]

I was given this tinny little pen and I don't know anything about it. It has a Waterman nib and it seems to be an eye dropper fountain pen. It is only 10.3 cm (about 4") without the cap (which I do not have). We are pretty sure the clip is not original, but I don't want to remove it before I know more.

 

Please help, if you can. Thank you.

Looks like a Waterman 12 or 14 eyedropper.

That's a New York nib - it has a good chance of being wonderful.

I put a little ink in earlier and it wrote well. There was a bit of bite, but it was a very pleasant experience. Without a cap, it was a short session.

 

The nib does seem to have a little flex to it, but I do not have any flex nibs so I didn't want to push it and risk the tynes.

If there is a number impressed into the bottom of the barrel, that will identify the model.

[Vespagirl]

I cannot find any markings on the barrel at all.

If there is a model number it's on the bottom round butt-end of the barrel. Bear in mind that the pen is hard black rubber and any barrel markings on the side may have worn away. It's may be the it's not a Waterman pen at all, the nib might have been transferred in to this barrel from another pen.

Sounds like this pen may remain a mystery. Thank you for the help!

Very nice! You have a lot more to go on in terms of information. Good luck!

[Heati2]

Thanks

 

Yours is a lovely pen..hope you find out all about it

If it is embossed on the end of the barrel 92 1/2 then I would say it is a 92 1/2. Further, I deduce that it is a 9x series with No.2 nib, and made in Canada.

 

It should be a nice pen

 

cheers

It is nice that Waterman used to tell you what pen you were holding, right there on the end of the barrel. That is the important news.

I think it is worth getting serviced if the nib looks okay.
