Catalog 73 (December 2014)

1910 Waterman Extraordinary Waterman Pens 412 SF “Sleeve-filler” in Sterling Silver “Filigree” pattern on black hard rubber. A sliding sleeve moves to reveal the thumb-operated filling mechanism. A wonderful example of this early Waterman filling mechanism. Medium/fine, flexible nib. Near mint.

1910 Waterman 12P PUMP-Filler in Black Hard Rubber. Unusual Filling Mechanism. A wonderful example of an early Waterman filling-mechanism (shown closed and with filler unit removed). The turning knob on the bottom of the pen is unscrewed and then “pumped” up and down to draw the ink into the pen (be careful not to overfill, or ink pours out of the back of the pen!). Not market successful and, therefore, very short lived. Medium nib, with a tad of flex. A little overall age wear, but excellent imprints and no oxidation. Near mint. [For other unusual filling mechanisms, see item #s 260, 262, 263 and 265).

1910 Waterman “World’s Smallest Pen” eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber. Signed “Clip Cap” GF clip with the Ideal Globe Logo. Often called the “Doll Pen” because one rests in Queen Mary’s doll house, on the King’s Library Table. Just over 1.5″ long and less than 1/8″ in diameter, this pen was actually produced by Waterman as a way for their salesmen to spend time with potential new accounts. Their salesmen would visit a druggist, jeweler, shop owner, to try to open a new account. The buyer would inevitably say that they didn’t need a new pen line and were happy with what they had. The salesman would now offer to show them the “World’s Smallest Pen” as long as he was there. This allowed more time and interaction together, and often resulted in a sale! Waterman then published in their in-house newspaper, Pen Prophet, that they would produce these for sale by their vendors as a special order item only. Near mint, and extremely rare, especially in the original “coffin” box! Close-up of pen in box.

1917 Waterman 42 Continental Overlay eyedropper-fill in 18K brushed gold-filled. Hand engraved “Roses on Vines” pattern highlighted on a barley background. Bottom panel beautifully engraved in Art Deco letters “PG.” Cap lip has the famous Cavalieri “Winged nib CD” hallmark (the Waterman licencee in Italy). Fine, extra-flexible nib. A touch of cap posting wear at the bottom of the barrel, otherwise new-old-stock, mint in original box. Close-up of pen in box.

1917 Waterman 42 Continental Safety eyedropper-fill Set in rolled-gold (gold-filled). Four 1/2″ Horizontal bands of relief vine & flowers within raised hearts, separated by barley circles. Matching cap with high relief floral cap top and repousse clip. Fine nib. New-old-stock, mint in original box. Close-up of set in box.

1929 Waterman Patrician LF in Turquoise. GFT. Wonderful fine, extra-flexible nib. Excellent color with sparkling bronzes. A tad of wear to the center of the imprint (fully readable) otherwise near mint+

1929 Waterman Patrician LF in Black Hard Rubber. As the Patrician was Waterman’s first entry into using Celluloid (years after most other pen manufacturers), the hard rubber model is much rarer than the plastic model. GFT. A wonderful, large fountain pen, and the model which saved Waterman during the Depression. Medium/fine nib. Near mint+

1930 Waterman 32 LF Combination Pencil-Pen in Black. NPT with correct GF nozzle. Pencil unscrews to reveal eraser and lead storage. Cap screws onto pencil end when pen is in use. Medium/fine flexible nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1939 Waterman Transitional Patrician LF Set in Turquoise. By the late 1930’s Waterman redesigned the Patrician using their newer more streamlined clip which was successful on several other models, such as the Ink-Vue. They may have run out of the “lattice” bands, or switched to the wide solid bands as an intentional design change (we’ll probably never know for sure). We do know that this new design was produced in several colors but for only a very short period of time – believed to be until they used up their remaining stock of caps, barrels and nibs. This design has become known as the “Transitional” model away from the standard model. There is an earlier, circa 1920 model, with a rivet clip, globe lever, and sometimes a #2 nib, generally described as the “Transitional” model leading to the standard model. GFT. Extra-fine nib. Near mint+

1939 Waterman Transitional Patrician twist-activated pencil in Turquoise for above set.

1940 Waterman Artist’s Safety Pen eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber. Rare pen: the only pen Waterman made to be used with thick India Ink. Rare nib: goes from Needle Point to super-flexible (what I call triple-flexible). NP clip. New-old-stock. Mint. [Two available; the second with a Gold-filled clip (the first one I have seen). See Waterman’s original combined instructions for the Atist’s and Music pen.

1932 Parker Vacuum Filler Standard Set (the largest manufactured) in Red Laminated. GFT. Parker was issued a design patent for the laminated plastic (which at first Dupont doubted they could manufacture). Introduced as the “Golden Arrow” in mid-1932, the name was changed to “Vacuum Filler” in November that same year, and again changed in mid-1933 to “Vacumatic.” Parker attributes the Vacumatic as saving the company during the lean Depression years. Two-toned “Arrow” nib with the correct “USA Parker” imprint (fine). A few minor surface scratches here and there, otherwise near mint in original box (the box is perhaps rarer than the pen and pencil!) Close-up of set in box.

1967 Parker 75 Keepsake cartridge/converter-fill in smooth Sterling Silver. The marketing design was for the purchaser to engrave the cap and barrel with dates of birthdays, anniversaries, etc, to help them to remember these important occasions. It failed in the marketplace and was discontinued a year later, making them very hard to find today, especially MIB. GFT. New-old-stock. Mint in original form-filled black box with red velvet lined inner box, cartridges and converter. Close-up of pen in box.

1917 Crocker Unusual Filling Mechanism: #2 Hatchet-fill in smooth Black Hard Rubber. Ring-top model with a very attractive and unusual 3/8″ tall, knurled cap top. The lever is attached to the blind cap at the end of the barrel, hinged at its other end. When the blind cap is lifted away the barrel it takes the lever with it, evacuating the bladder. Crocker was founded in the late 1890’s by Seth Crocker who would later start the Chilton Pen Company. Their first filling mechanism was the “blow-filler,”followed by the hatchet-filler in 1913. “Crocker Boston 3″ extra-fine/fine flexible nib. Near mint.

1925 Pick Pen #2 LF ring-top in smooth Black Hard Rubber. Pick was founded in Cincinnati Ohio in 1920. They produced high quality pens for 13 years, marketing them in a very unusual way – by doing product demonstrations in store windows. Fine, extra-flexible nib, signed “Pick 1 Cin’ti O USA.” Near mint.

1925 Dunhill Unusual Filling Mechanism: #2 pen in 6-sided Bulbous smooth Black Hard Rubber. Either a blow-fill (there is a hole in the bottom of the barrel, similar the the Crocker blow-fill) or a bulb-fill (remove the section to access and squeeze the bladder). Some folks think this was a cigar or cigarette holder converted into a pen – others aren’t so sure, as Dunhill promoted a vast array of different products, including lots of pens. The uniquely shaped barrel has the inlaid Dunhill “White dot”, a registration number, and also reads “Fabrication Anglaise” (made in England). “Warranted 18 Carats” broad nib. Near mint+

1932 Craig/Sheaffer #2 LF in Black Chased Hard Rubber. NPT. Walter Sheaffer named the sub-brand after his son, Craig, who worked at the factory in charge of lever production. Sheaffer company policy was not to sell a lever-fill pen at a price lower than $2.50, but they got around this by using this lever-fill sub-brand, which generally sold for $1.00 or less. “Warranted 14K” medium, flexible nib. Near mint.

1960 Montblanc Pen Display/Storage trays. 13″ x 7″ x 10″. 6 trays stack and nest, each holding 18 pens (total of 108 pen compartments). Compartments are 6 1/8″ long x 7/8″ wide x 3/4″ deep, and certainly hold either large pens or a pair of smaller pens (or sets). So it can hold as many as 200+ pens and pencils! Each tray has the Montblanc “star in circle” logo twice; once on the front and once on the back, and the padded leather lid has a 3 1/4″ impressed logo. Has been gently used and still in wonderful condition. A unique storage chest indeed. Weight 12 lbs. Close-up photo of trays.
