Waterman Striped Feeds, Curious If There Is Any Info About Them.

[Otter1]

Hi,

 

I've recently come across a striped feed on a silver ray ink vue, and wondered if it is something specific to ink vues or if it was used in other pens of that vintage as well. If you've never seen one, here is an example--thanks for any info.

I have a 32A that has one like that. The 32A in question is identical in body, celluloid stock, and nib to a Thorobred I also have, but the Thorobred doesn't have the striped nib.

Thanks for the info.

I was betting it wasn't just for ink vues (i've seen 2 with them), but had seen nothing about these feeds one way or the other.

PS--love the dalek wax seal in your sig---those are 2 things that aren't commonly put together.

I have a lady patricia that has a #2 Canada nib with this feed. I love the way it looks!

Thanks! I love my little Dalek stamp.

I also have several 3/32 pens with the stripe – added confirmation that they're not peculiar to the Ink Vue pens.

Thanks for the additional data point. I have one on a lady patricia too, although it is sort of an ink vue model as well.

 

I can almost imagine that there was a short-lived ad campaign touting the wonders of the waterman red stripe feed...
