Waterman History

I recently happened upon this site which gives a detailed history of the Waterman pen company:

This may be old news for a lot of you but maybe there is someone else like me who hasn't seen it.

Thanks for posting the link.  Fascinating article.  Not the least of which being the connection between Waterman and Bic.

I went to college in Bridgeport, CT, and Milford was a couple of towns over; I had one professor who saved up all his Bic BPs that had stopped writing and would send them back to Bic in groups because of the warranty that Bic had back then (late 1970s-early 1980s).
