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, Canada, early 1940s.
Length Full size 5" (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 Green transparent smooth barrel and cap, made of Lucite. Gold plated trim.
Nib Huge gold Waterman Hundred Year Pen nib. Medium with a good amount of flex. See writing sample.
Condition FOUNTAIN PEN: Excellent working condition. Only light scratches on the body and trim, with a small bit of brassing. There are two cracks in the cap lip (visible in the photos below), that were stabilized by the addition of three cap bands (not part of the original design). We do recommend being very careful, to prevent the crack from lengthening. Lucite can be prone to cracking, but luckily it doesn't crumble like the material used in the later Hundred Year pens. No cracks beyond what's been mentioned, but we do recommend caution when using the clip as the area where the clip attaches can be prone to cracking. The imprint has been mostly worn down in the center, but edges are legible.
PENCIL: Excellent with signs of light usage. There is a scratch on the nose cone, as well as some brassing at the very tip. There is also some brassing on the triple barrel rings. It works very well.
