Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen set in working condition, lever filler, hard to find. Matching pencil.
Product Name Waterman Hundred Year Pen (marked on the nib, and on the cap)
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, CANADA, circa 1941. This is the second year version with a triple band on the ribbed barrel and a partially ribbed cap. Third year models had one cap band and a ribbed barrel and partially ribbed cap.
Length Fountain pen and mechanical pencil: 5-1/8" (full-size) There is a bigger oversized model as well as a lady's model, this is the standard size in the middle.
Filling System Lever filler. We've replaced the bladder with a new sac in the pen and the filling system works well. The pencil takes 1.1mm leads.
Color Red transparent smooth barrel and cap, made of Lucite. Gold plated trim. Lucite does not have the same issues with crystalization that the later clear-ended celluloid pens had.
Nib Fine flexible nib, please see writing sample.
Condition Excellent condition, near perfect except for two chips at the top of the cap where the clip connects. This is a classic pen and pencil set in a lovely color and with a great design. The fountain pen barrel has a small scratch across 4 of the ridges. The cap has two chips alongside the top of the clip (see photos). The mechanical pencil is in superior condition with just a few scratch marks on the cone. The trim, cone, clips, and cap bands all look great. The imprints on both are visible.
