This is a beautiful set that has never been inked. I removed the old bladder and did not install a new one. Please don't email and ask me to install a new bladder, I will not do it. I will include the old Waterman marked bladder if you want it. This is a hard to find pen in any condition. Finding a mint unused set in the original box may never happen again.

Vintage cardboard card with a fountain pen barrel and cap mounted on it.  This item was from a Waterman demonstration set that showed the stages of fountain pen manufacturing .  It measures 6 1/4" X 3 1/4" and has a easel back for standing it up [although the leg has never been used].  The barrel and cap have been drilled out from solid black hard rubber rod and represent that particular stage of production. They have not been threaded or imprinted yet. This is from the 1920s and fairly hard to find. The fountain pen would eventually be a Waterman 52. $100.00

One collector told me these were checkbook pencils. Another thought they were unfinished pencils or blanks. I don't think they are unfinished, because you would put the trim on before you installed the pencil mechanisms.  
$280.00
P876

Vintage Waterman die-cut "trade card" that was made after 1903 and before 1917 [using the address as a guide]. I know this card is sometimes called a bookmark [and that may be true], but I am calling it a trade card here. It measures 4" X 1 3/8". The spoon feed is cut to allow it to fold back.  It is in excellent condition but does have some minor flaws like light creases and bumped edges. It is not mint.  I guarantee this card to be vintage and original. Not a repro. $250.00
P853

Vintage Waterman Ink-Vue desk style fountain pen that was made in the USA in the 1930s. There is no base.  It is in the Jet black plastic with the transparent barrel [diagonally laminated]. It is near mint. It has almost mint barrel transparency. It has a red #7 nib, which is a great nib.  It has been serviced and it is a good smooth writer. There is no base.  Fully restored pen.

Filling System:
Lever Filler [really these pens are bulb fillers]

This is a nice writing pen that fills quickly and the pen also empties out quickly.  It is working just the way it should. This is a nice writing pen with a smooth nib. There is no base. The Ink-Vue desk pens are very scarce. This pen has threads on the barrel, but I don't think it was part of a convertible set, I just think they didn't want to make a special barrel for these pens like they did with most of their desk pens [they usually don't have threads].

Vintage Waterman eyedropper fill stenographers fountain pen in black hard rubber.
5 13/16" long. No oxidation, black glossy finish. Good barrel imprint [late style].
It is marked 12 on end of barrel. Nickel clip with no wear. The cap has some porosity
which is tiny little air bubbles in the rubber. This is a manufacturing flaw and it has been there since new. This is a rare Waterman in great condition, but not mint. The imprint almost looks like a 1930s imprint. Could they have been making this pen that late?
Fine flex nib. Writes fairly smooth.
$285.00
