Featured Listings Watermans are among our favorite pens. Early examples, in particular, show an almost endless range of variations. Even after decades of collecting, new patterns can turn up, never before seen.
9690: Waterman 12: mottled hard rubber clipless eyedropper-filler, 13.4 cm long, early pre-spoon feed example, 2-line pre-globe imprint with 1884 patent dates, narrow first-design feed, narrow #2 nib with "WATERMAN'S" in semicircle; good color, imprints worn but legible.

NIB: extra-fine semiflex • $285
9692: Waterman 13: smooth black hard rubber slip-cap eyedropper-filler, 13.45 cm long, nickel plated trim, nice clean example of an unusual and hard to find model (#3-size pens were nearly the same as #2-size pens, so were dropped from the line shortly after this example was made); #3 New York nib opens up with light pressure for elegant line variation. DATE: c. 1906 • CONDITION: fine-exc • NIB: fine flex • SOLD
9697: Waterman 12 Chatelaine: black chased hard rubber screw-cap ringtop eyedropper-filler, 13.4 cm long, gold filled trim; extremely narrow threads, Waterman's first non-safety pen with a screw-cap, very rare model, appears in catalog of 1908, though introduced a few years earlier. Good chasing and imprints, moderate fading, cap lip slightly shortened, cap ring fitting not original. DATE: c. 1908 • CONDITION: VG-fine*
• NIB: extra-fine flex • $385
9687: Waterman 12: English-market black hard rubber half-overlay eyedropper-filler, 13.2 cm long, 9K solid gold barrel overlay, London-hallmarked with Waterman factory maker's mark; pattern is a combination of twist and deeply hand-chased floral scrollwork -- uncatalogued, and hitherto unknown. Indicia is monogrammed, gold has been polished down, so that the date letter cannot be read.. DATE: c. 1908 •
CONDITION: VG-fine • NIB: fine flex • $3850
9689: Waterman 12 SF: black chased hard rubber sleeve-filler, 14.15 cm long, nickel plated trim, used but sound; original riveted clip was pulled out, leaving a crack in the cap which has been sealed, and which is now covered by an old Waterman slip-on clip; #2 nib opens up with the lightest pressure, is slightly wavy from restraightening. DATE: c. 1912 • CONDITION: VG* • NIB: fine superflex
• $250
9677: Waterman 554 LEC Gothic set in box: black hard rubber lever-filler, 14K solid gold overlay, 13.8 cm long, with matching 1.1 mm pencil; both crisp with 1933 presentation inscriptions, pencil has some bumps to crown piece, pen has raised ridge on side of posting end, partially redone bead on barrel end (see details).

Box has some internal staining; both pen and pencil have considerable heft -- there is over $400 worth of gold in the pen alone. DATE: c. 1933 • CONDITION: fine* • NIB: extra-fine
semiflex • $1650 |
9673: Aurora 88 Duo-Cart: black cartridge-filler, 13.7 cm long, gold plated cap, chrome end buttons; in box, with instructions. Includes one original cartridge, lacking the tube to hold two such cartridges back-to-back; also includes a modern piston-filling convertor, as well as an adaptor permitting use of standard short international cartridges (neither of which will stop the indicator rattle at the end of the barrel from rattling, however); smooth nib, light spring action.
