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 and we've seen pens identified as Lady Garland with slightly different markings on the cap.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in Canada - circa later 1940s.
Length 4-7/8".
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 Fine 14k "Taperite" nib is semi-hooded.

The section has moderate tool marks. The cap has light scratching. The clip has brassing along the edges and around the open end. The imprints are faded but readable.
