32 Vintage Waterman Pens ... Wet Noodles, Flex Nibs, Red Ripples


Mauricio

Recommended Posts

Here's a new and large lot of vintage Waterman pens. There are a few very rare models this time, such as a gorgeous Ink-Vue in Emerald Ray with a keyhole BB Stub nib and the eyedroppers 75, 72, and 12 1/2VP in BCHR. There are some red rippled pens, all kinds of flexible nibs, including wet noodles, and a couple of user grade pens starting at $70 + shipping.

 

Each one of these pens has been restored and are great writers. Furthermore, I have invested a huge deal of time adjusting and micro-adjusting them for optimal ink flow, a very critical element with flexible nibs, especially superflex and wet noodled ones. There is a very rare wet noodle XXXF-BB nib, an ultra smooth writer capable of normal and very fast writing when not flexed. This is perhaps the most incredible wet noodle nib I have ever written with.

 

To see the entire listing, all specs, additional pictures and writing samples for each one of these pens, please visit www.VintagePen.net

How about no 167? The description says it's slight flex but the writing sample says super flex. As long as it flexes without heaps of pressure, this would be good for me.

 

ru32day,

Pen W167 has a sligth flex nib. The picture of the writing sample was the incorrect one. I will make it up to you and install a superflex nib and sell it to you for the same price. Sending payment instructions back channel.

 

Pen W167 is now ON HOLD, pending payment.

The wet noodle nib in Pen W170 is now ON HOLD, pending payment ... just the nib, not the pen.

I will install another nib inot Pen W170 next week and offer that eyedropper pen at a much lower price.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
