Another Waterman Id Please


SomersetSwan

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am a Laureate user (and Swan Mabie Todd) and am curious as to this waterman. It seems a lower quality pen but I cannot find it anywhere?

 

It is tubular shaped, with Waterman made in France at the bottom of the cap. It appears to have a steel nib and is very light?

 

I have never seen anything like it! If anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

Fantastic! Thank you for your help. It's a stainless steel Waterman Goutte, from about 1978. I can sleep well now that I know what it is!

No, not Goutte. The word goutte means drop in French. A Goutte should have a round clip with a drop formed widening at the clip end.

 

This one belongs to the Forme Ronde family. The Goutte is one of them. The Cotelé another and there seems to be one form of the Master that is also rounded.

      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
