Product Description
Type | Vintage fountain pen in working condition, lever filler, hard to find. |
Product Name | Waterman Hundred Year Pen (marked on the nib, and on the cap). |
Manufacturer and Year | Waterman, USA, circa 1941. This is the third year version where the clear parts matched the solid color ... in this case blue. Third year models had one cap band and a ribbed barrel and partially ribbed cap. |
Length | Full size 5-1/8" |
Filling System | Lever filler. We've replaced the bladder in the pen and the filling system works well. |
Color | Very dark blue ribbed barrel and cap, with very light blue cap-top and (replacement) blue barrel end. Gold plated trim. |
Nib | Huge gold Waterman Hundred Year Pen nib. Fine with a good amount of flex, somewhere between semi-flexible and garden variety flexible. See writing sample. |
Condition |
Excellent working condition. Only very light scratches on the body and trim, with some brassing on the bottom tip of the clip and high points of the clip, and the lever. No cracks in the pale blue celluloid on the top of the cap, but we do recommend caution when using the clip as this area can be prone to cracking. The barrel end is a replacement done by Ron Zorn, and we hope you agree it looks great.
