Original Waterman Sac From Canadian Lady Patricia Pen

[Zed]

Hello there,

 

I want to share this recent find I made while restoring Waterman Lady Patricia: a nicely appointed Waterman Sac. The pen was made in

Canada sometime during 1930s but the sac is more likely from 1950's as the pen was used extensively (judging from the wear) and so probably resaced a few times. Also the sac is not brittle like the early sacs from 1920s Watermans. This one is hard as a stone. Still, I might be quite wrong and the sac may be from 1930s or 1940s (or even much later).

 

Anybody else has come across such a Waterman sac? Most of the original Waterman sacs I have seen have had very plain and rather small inscriptions on them - nothing like this:

 

 

 

Enjoy! Zed

As it happens I came across one just like it, and also hard as stone, that last month in an English 512V. Judging by the condition of the pen, I assumed it was the original sac, so that'd be what? 40s/50s?

This is not a Waterman but it's a similar case with a Conway Stewart
