Waterman Man 200 Night and Day

Recommended Posts

Once in awhile I go rustling through my pen portfolios to look at things I haven't seen in ages and today I came across a Night and Day Man 200 in gold plate and ebonite.  It is unused except by me when I bought it 10 years ago and it has an XF nib which is always my preference.  I inked it up and tried it out and was quite pleased with it. I generally prefer the larger Man 100, and have just about every sterling version of that ever released, but this smaller pen fits the hand well and the nib is a very smooth writer.

 

Does anyone else own this model?

I also came across another one that is likely a fairly rare model. Waterman made a Man 100 in solid gold at a release price of $10,000. See https://penhero.com/PenGallery/Waterman/WatermanSpecimen.htm

 

No, mine isn't one of those (I wish!), it is one of the 'Specimen' pens that were made in unknown numbers and sent out to dealers in gold plate rather than solid gold, as demonstration models.  Anyone else own one of these?  Very handsome pens.

I have the solid 18k FP & BP that I bought back in the '80s when I had money. They are for sale if anyone's interested.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
