Product Description
Type Fountain Pen and Mechanical Pencil Set
Product Name Waterman CF Pen Set
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in USA -- 1950s.
Length Both the fountain pen and mechanical pencil are about 5-5/16"
Filling System Cartridge/converter. Here's the challenge with Waterman CFs: the cartridges and converters are no longer made and are close to impossible to find. To use these pens, most modern day owners resort to refilling the cartridges with a syringe. The fountain pen has a starter cartridge installed and the box still has a sealed cartridge. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads and the twist mechanism works well. (We will include a syringe kit.)
Color Black, probably lacquer bodies with gold plated caps with a pattern of four lines and a space.
Nib FINE 14k nib. Firm, no flex.
Condition Excellent condition, in box, with paperwork, and empty ink cartridge. The fountain pen section has light microscratching on the long gold arms of the nib unit. The barrel has light scratching with a few long, thin scratch lines toward the end. The cap has light wear and a few spots of brassing on the slanted top piece. The mechanical pencil has light scratching. The cap has light microscratching and small dots of plating wear at the end of the clip and on the slanted top piece. The box is in lovely condition. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
