Help In Identifying Old Waterman Fp

[Barnowl251]

Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone can help me identify some particulars regarding this old pen. My wife found it at a thrift shop super cheap. Knowing I enjoy FPs, she got it for me.

Pics attached.

The markings are as follows:

 

Side of barrel: Waterman's / Made in Canada / Ideal / Fountain Pen

Nib: RED / Waterman's / 14k / IDEAL / CANADA

Bottom of barrel: 7

 

Curious as to the approximate age of the pen.

Also, not sure if this is celluloid or not... (I've never owned a celluloid).

Hello:

It is a Waterman nº 7.

You can see information about that model in this site:

One of the pens I regret selling.  The "Red" nib had just the right amount of flex for a daily user and, for a vintage pen, it was nice and large.
