COMMENTS:
Waterman's Man 100 series ran I believe 1980s-1990s. Many variants. The
series soemwhat channeled Waterman's cylindrical "flat top" pens made
prior to 1940. The Patrician variants had pierced-work cap-bands that
reflected the 1930s original Patrician series. Color is Emerald for
this one. Massive point. Marked "L" on feed, I assume for "large"
or broad. To my eye the tipping is at least double broad. Nice
smooth line. A bold signature nib. Nearmint pen (it has met ink).
Converter included. |

COMMENTS:
Waterman offered a range of fountain pens during the early 1930s,
offering a different series at nearly each price point, in contrast to
Sheaffer and Parker, who tended to offer a wide range of differently
priced models within given series. Lady Patricia was the high
quality short-slender version of the oversized Patrician. This one
pops. Clean condition and lovely Moss Agate Celluloid. Icing on cake is
a broad, flex stub nib that writes a needle thin cross stroke and can
give monster width on the downstroke with minimal pressure. |

COMMENTS:
One of the most attractive of recent fountain pens, this hefty Waterman
sports a stub nib that effectively is at least double broad on down
strokes, with thin cross lines thanks to the stub effect. Remarkable nib. |

Point: Fine FLEX | Imprint: Exc |
Size: 5 5/4" 13.4 cm | PRICE: $265 |
COMMENTS:
Manufactured near the end of the Emblem/Hundred-Year run (1946 or so),
Waterman offered clutch-close versions of those venerable names,
perhaps a late attempt to catch up with the Parker "51". This one
has a big Waterman Emblem nib that writes a flex nib, based on a thin
fine line when not flexed. Smooth writer. Lovely condition. A
relatively uncommon standard size version of Emblem, with very stable
plastic when done in basic black. |

COMMENTS:
Probably Waterman's most impressive fountain pen from the last 30
years, the Edson fountain pen has 18-carat solid gold nib and a
translucent lacquer body. This offering includes the early Sapphire,
Emerald, and Ruby pens with gold plated caps. Among the three,
blue is most often found, with green and red progressively uncommon. This one is a ballpoint in burgundy, lightly used, very clean. |
Near Modern Waterman: A bit of this and that.

Pen
3445: Waterman Ink-Vue (mid 1930s) $775
Celluloid True Dealer Demonstrator. HIgh Flex "Red" Nib. |

Metal: Good | Color: Excellent | |

PRICE: $775 |
COMMENTS: Waterman's
Ink-Vue (whose mechanism eventually spread to other
Waterman lines) was released in Copper Ray, Emerald Ray,
and Silver Ray colors, the series aimed it seems at
Parker's Vacumatic. Deluxe variants with triple cap-band
also were made. Released perhaps one per thousand
typical pens were true dealer Demonstrators, done wholly
in clear celluloid (all found now have at least a yellow
tint, and I cannot say if they had the yellow cast at
time of issue). These were not clear pens released to
public as today are so many pens opportunistically
labelled "demonstrator". This was the real deal, meant
for dealers alone to illustrate the filling mechanism
before selling typical pens to customers. I've
seen fewer than ten during the last thirteen years
looking, and some of those had replacement black
cap. This one is intact though has some points of roughness. The barrel all around is in great shape. The nib is a killer full flex Wateman "RED" keyhole style nib, more flexible than some Pink nibs I've seen. I likely should yank the nib and place a common point, but I'd prefer not to tamper with this fragile pen. Sac has been removed to preserve barrel color. The barrel is personalized, as per the picture. The cap trim is rough (would polish to look better, but I wanted you to see it at its worst). Of note, there are significant internal stress cracks to the inner cap (the inner layer of celluloid at top half of cap) that do not externalize and which have been stable for the decade I've owned the pen. Further photos will be offered of that shortly. The pen is intact, it is rare and dwarfs ths scarcity of some currently popular Demonstrators such as are found in the Parker "51" and Sheaffer Snorkel series. Why to sell? Well, after ten years I found a second, still with nib grade sticker. Otherwise this would stay with me. |
