Product Description
Type Lever fill fountain pen
Product Name Taperite "Corinth" ...... here's an ad showing this model.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, circa 1941
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Lever filler.
Color Black section and barrel, gold plated cap with gold filled clip.

Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The main flaw is plating wear on the cap. This is a beautifully colored, shiny pen with a shimmery lined cap and with classic styling. The section has quite a few long scratches and an cluster of scratches in one area that dulls the surface. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip, moderate scratching with some heavy spots, and a few bite marks near the end of the barrel. The cap is shimmery and shiny, but it has many dots of plating wear and a few light scratches here and there (see photo). The clip has plating wear along the edges and light scratching. The imprints are slightly faded but they can be made out with careful examination.
