Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name Lady Garland Taperite fountain pen with steel cap. We're not 100% certain that we have the model properly identified, as Taperite nibs appeared on a wide variety of pens.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in USA - circa later 1940s.
Length 4-1/2".
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black body with a steel cap with a decorative line pattern. Gold plated clip and cap top.
Nib Fine14k "Taperite" nib is semi-hooded.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or dents. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as moderate scratching all around the lever extended to the end. The cap has light scratching and a small ding mark to the right of the lever. The lever looks great. The clip has some brassing toward the top but otherwise looks nice. The imprints are clear.
