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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |
