Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen in working condition, lever filler, hard to find. Matching pencil.
Product Name Waterman Hundred Year Pen (marked on the nib, and on the cap)
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA, circa 1941. This is the second year version with a triple band on the ribbed barrel and a partially ribbed cap. Third year models had one cap band and a ribbed barrel and partially ribbed cap.
Length Full size 5-1/16" (there's a fatter oversized model, but this is the standard full size pen)
Filling System Lever filler. We've replaced the bladder with a new sac in the pen and the filling system works well. The pencil takes 1.1mm leads.
Color Red transparent smooth barrel and cap, made of Lucite. Gold plated trim.
Nib Fine flexible nib, please see writing sample. (The pen originally had a rigid nib but we discovered a crack and so we replaced it with the exact same nib with flex.)
Condition FOUNTAIN PEN: Excellent working condition. Only light scratches on the body and trim, with no brassing . Lucite can be prone to cracking, but luckily it doesn't crumble like the material used in the later Hundred Year pens. No cracks, but we do recommend caution when using the clip as the area where the clip attaches can be prone to cracking. Pen has original sticker: "875 Rigid Fine $8.75" which refers to the original nib, which has been replaced with a flexible nib.
PENCIL: Near perfect with signs of light usage only. It works well. Also has sticker: "P1002 $5.00"
Original Waterman box included.
