How Rare Is The Waterman 13 Stanhope 35Th Anniversary?

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am wondering how rare is that pen, becouse it has been hard to find information, and the pen itself, apart from the history that I guess all waterman lovers know about it which is that the Waterman 13 Stanhope is a legendary rarity; made to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Waterman factory and produced exclusively for friends and personal customers of Frank D.Waterman's owner.

The small viewer made with a magnifying glass and a microscopic photo shows the Waterman building in New York.

I would like to know whether that is just a legend or there are any information about that, and I would like to know how many of that model were made, and whether if the model was only produced exclusively for friend and personal customers of Frank D. Waterman as the history tells. Anyone knows why to commemorate the 35th anniversary? Here there are some pics of the actually pen. Thank you in advance for your answers. Happy New year.

Nobody has numbers on how many are out there. There are a few different versions with different images in the Stanhope, and there's currently 2 for sale if you look around. We know of at least 1 Stanhope in existence with an overlay.

      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
