Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name This is the small "Starlet" version of the Stalwart pen.... it has a now-worn red band at the top, so it might have been a nurse's model.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in USA -- circa late 1940s.
Length Starlet size, 4-9/16"
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Ivory marbled with a small faded red band around the very top of the cap. Gold plated trim with a single thin cap band. The color looks great, it doesn't appear to have faded or yellowed at all.
Nib EXTRA FINE FLEXIBLE Waterman's Ideal 14k nib is smooth with great tipping material. It's nicely flexible but not full flex, with easy line variation from extra fine to a medium, and to a nice broad with just a light pressure.
Condition Excellent condition. There's some minor scratching on the black section and a few small scratches on the end of the barrel, as well as a few tiny cosmetic surface cracks on the very top of the cap where the gold plated cap jewel is. These are tiny, hardly noticeable, and do not have any effect on the way the pen works. No chips, dings dents, or personalization, and the only plating wear is a little on the gold cap jewel. The imprint is clear. The pen is fully restored and working well.
