Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen
Product Name Model Uncertain. This has many characteristics in common with the Type II Ink-Vue pens, the only difference being a standard lever box and lever filling system as opposed to the bulb filler in the late Ink-Vue.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA -- 1940s
Length 5-1/8"
Filling System Lever fill fountain pen with a new sac.
Color Russett Brown striated with some blue pin-stripe lines that the "Blue Steak" name is derived from. Triple cap band. Stepped cap top and barrel end. Orange viewing window.
Nib FINE FLEXIBLE "Yellow" keyhole Ideal Nib is gold. Waterman called this nib "ballpoint" because it was rounded and forgiving. It flexes a bit, and gives line variation from extra fine to medium.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a beautifully colored, pearlized, shiny pen with unique pin-striping and with a bright orange viewing window. The barrel and cap have light microscratching. The lever has just a few light scratches -- it looks excellent. The triple cap band has plating wear and a few micro-dots of pitting. The clip has plating wear along the edges and at the end and just some light scratching down the middle. The imprints are clear.
