The items below are listed alphabetically by maker, with featured items grouped at the top.
This is one of the broadest selections of Waterman pens that we have offered in some time -- not just in variety, but also chronologically and geographically, with the inclusion of some characteristically French designs that are not often seen outside of France.
16594: Waterman 24: black chased hard rubber taper-cap eyedropper-filler, 14.7 cm long, early narrow feed, two-line pre-globe imprint, zigzag chasing, chased gold filled barrel bands.
DATE: c. 1898 • CONDITION: fine • NIB: extra-fine flex • SOLD
16596: Waterman 12 in pouch: black chased hard rubber clipless eyedropper-filler, 13.6 cm long, unusual configuration with imprint on the side of the barrel end (typical for later lever-fillers and safeties, not for slip-cap 1X series pens). Hard rubber crisp and glossy, but scratches on center of barrel indicate that there was originally a wide barrel band, now missing. Noteworthy nib, very fine tip, with flex. Original leatherette case shows typical age wear, dropper is a modern replacement.
