WATERMAN THREE DIMENSIONAL POINT OF PURCHASE ADVERTISEMENT FOR NO. 7 PENS ca. 1926-1930 
Model:
| N/A
| Grade:
| Looks like it did when first printed in the late 1920's. Colors are crisp with no fading. Only flaws are two creases on the Green and Purple pen caps and a tiny one on the top edge of the Yellow cap.
| Nib Width:
| N/A
| Length Capped:
| Easel display stands 14 1/2" tall and 11 1/2" wide at the base.
| Comments:
| This is a rare find! A sensational point of purchase display easel that is three-dimensional, consisting of two separate pieces of cardboard. The back piece illustrates the pen caps and the front piece illustrates the pen points and writing samples. When stood up, the two pieces are separated by more than an inch at their top. Found many years ago in an old jewelery store in Northern California, it came into my possession just recently. Other than the two minor issues pointed out above, there is no sign of damage or wear to this amazing display item. If you are a Waterman collector, especially of the great #7 series, this is a must have!

WATERMAN 58 ca. 1923-1927 
Model:
| Waterman 58 Ripple
| Grade:
| Excellent + to Near Mint
| Nib Width:
| Smooth medium with medium flex, marked "Waterman Ideal Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. 8 Made in U.S.A."
| Length Capped:
| 6 1/16"
| Comments:
| Next to the #20, this was the largest pen Waterman made. An outstanding example with strong molten imprints--deep and sharp. Clip ball has a line of brassing, 2-4% of brassing on cap band. A crisp pen with wonderful ripple marking with no signs of oxidation. The only flaw, if it can be called that, is it closes with a quarter turn. A minor issue, but stated for accuracy. It may be a long time before you see another example of this scarce and desirable pen in this condition. Will make a terrific writer should one want to put it to paper.

| Excellent
| Nib Width:
| Smooth Fine, Semi-flexible #4, marked "Waterman Ideal New York 4."
| Length Capped:
| 5 1/4"
| Comments:
| Gorgeous pen in hard to find solid gold and even harder to find smooth finish. This is simply an nice example of an eyedropper gold Waterman. Just a couple small pin head size dings, nothing that takes away from the beauty of this pen. One small mark on the black hard rubber near the bottom of the barrel. The 514 mark on the bottom of the barrel is hard to read, but clear with a loupe. There are no other manufacturer marks on the barrel. Cap, clip, and barrel overlays all marked 14K. Solid gold Watermans don't come along very often.

| Grade:
| Excellent
| Nib Width:
| Incredibly smooth semi-flex stub nib (.8mm wide), marked "6" similar in size to a Duofold Sr.
| Length Capped:
| 5 11/16"
| Comments:
| Large pen in excellent condition with sharp imprints on the barrel side and on the base. Tiny amount of brassing on the cap band edges, none elsewhere, not even on the ball of the clip and lever "Globe." Very nice stub-like semi-flex nib that will make a great writer. A bit of oxidation on the cap is the only reason the pen did not grade excellent plus.

| A nice example of a classic pen. Marks on the top of the cap downgrade its rating, but still a nice pen that will make a great user. Imprints very light. Unlike many, the cartouche on this pen, is not filled in. Great nib insures writing pleasure. Price reflects condition.

WATERMAN INKVIEW ca. 1937 
Model:
| Waterman Inkview in Emerald Green ca. 1937
| Grade:
| Excellent +
| Nib Width:
| Smooth Medium flex Keyhole nib marked "Waterman Ideal Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. USA"
| Length Capped:
| 5"
| Comments:
| Waterman's answer to the Parker Vacumatic, the Inkview fills with a lever, but uses a small sac to create a vacuum which allows the entire barrel to be filled. The pen holds a lot of ink. The pen shows little wear, with a strong, sharp imprint, no brassing. The Waterman gold filled Globe on the barrel bottom is intact, unlike many of this model. This pen is usually found in gray. The Emerald is scarcer and to our way of thinking a nicer color. A great example of a Waterman art deco design.
