WATERMANS PENS Print

 

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.
Price:
$1,850

 

WATERMAN 7 YELLOW BAND ca. 1926-1930

Model:
Waterman 7 Yellow Band
Grade:
Excellent to Excellent +
Nib Width:
The Yellow (so marked) nib has a rounded ball tip, which is a smooth writer, ideal for left-handed users.
Length Capped:
5 1/2"
Comments:
Cap band replaced.  Outstanding imprints--deep and sharp.  Clip ball has a line of brassing, 2-4% of brassing on upper edge of cap band, a tiny amount of brassing on the edge of the "globe" on the lever.  A fine pen with very nice ripple hard rubber.
Price:
$495

 

WATERMAN 7 RED BAND ca. 1926-1930

Model:
Waterman 7 Red Band
Grade:
Excellent - (would be Excellent if not for the minor flaw-see "Comments.")
Nib Width:
Correct #7 "Red" nib, medium-flexible fine nib.  (Not as flexible as the "Pink," but much easier to control.  Many find this nib a more practical writer.) 
Length Capped:
5 1/2"
Comments:
Cap band replaced.  Weak imprints.  Clip ball has a line of brassing, 5% of brassing on cap band, small amount of edge brassing on the lever "Globe."  Small amount of plating loss on the clip.  Inside cap lip has a very small chip (3mm wide by 0.5mm deep).  This cannot be seen from the outside as the cap rim band completely covers it.  Price reflects this very minor flaw.
Price:
$275
