FS: Waterman 12 G.M (twin-gold-filled bands)

July 14, 2009

For Sale – Waterman 12 G.M. Eyedropper-filled pen in BCHR. G.M. refers to “Gold Mount”, meaning twin gold-filled bands with engraved “snail” designs. The bands are in pretty good shape with no brassing that I can see. The chasing and imprint are quite worn, and there is substantial discoloration, resulting in a medium chocolate brown color – except for a striking area that shows significantly less discoloration in a clean band around the cap – probably where a paper sticker was wrapped around it. The cap also shows less wear to the chasing, and may not have been a swap at some point (but it is an original Waterman cap). The nib is a correct 14K “Waterman Ideal New York #2” nib with decent flex – semi-flex more than full flex, but snappy and responsive.

Asking $75.00, which includes insured shipping in the USA and un-insured First Class International shipping elsewhere in the world. Insured international shipping is available at cost (pm for quote). I will not be responsible for uninsured packages once I turn them over to the post office.

Terms - first clear "I want it" pm or email gets it. Reasonable offers considered, but full-price offers get priority over other offers up until we finalize the deal. Paypal preferred but MO in US funds OK.

I am not actively soliciting trades at this time, but will always trade for Baird-North pens and might consider Charles Ingersoll (especially bakelite), Good Service, Diamond Medal, Webster, Tower, Trupoint and Sears brands.

Also please note that I am best at returning messages during the week. I sometimes get very limited time on-line during the weekend, so if I do not get back right away that is why. Be patient and I will get back to you!
