How many Watermans do you own?

[South Line]

I only own two,

 

A Waterman 52(which is missing a nib ) and a Waterman Exclusive (Medium nib).

 

I would use the exclusive but I haven't got a converter plus I like fine nibs more.

[sidthecat]

Let's see:

Two 52s,

Six or seven 52 1/2 v, most of which are almost identical,

Two Lady Patricias, one with a ringtop and one with a clip,

A 515 and a Commando. Two Commandos, since one broke in half.

A small-scale obsession for this crowd.

 

More pens, thank goodness, than cats.

[sidthecat]

Hirsch,

Don't disregard those BCHR ringtops: they can have FANTASTIC nibs. I wear them to work and use them to corrupt my friends.

[gweimer1]

I've picked up a couple of Lady Patricia ink-vue pens. The Mist pen is the first I've restored, and I just got a gorgeous Sunset Deluxe model that will be my project over the next month.

[gweimer1]

The picture is a little fuzzy, but I got this one restored yesterday.

- 3 Laureat from 90s one rouge one silvered and one green marble laque.

- 1 Le man 200 I bought it cos I wanted to know what was the difference between this one and the le man 100 apart from price and Size.

So that´s it

Hello,

 

I have 7 watermans.

 

Best regards.

[Mauricio]

Not enough

[sidthecat]

Just got a red ripple ringtop with a pretty gold band on the cap. Sacless, but it looks like it's been well-treated. Fine nib, in good shape.

 

My first red ripple...worth the wait.

 

Also a black ringtop with an extraordinarily long-tined nib - perhaps one of the elusive Artist's nibs. I sent it to Mr. Mottishaw to be sorted out.

7:

 

52 BCHR

3 Red Ripple 52s

Waterman 3

Phileas

Carene

[trdsf]

One, purchased earlier today at a nearby antiques shop. There's another one in there I may have a go at, too.

[KenF5]

One Carene Deluxe, ( very smooth stub nib! ), One CF for which a converter is undergoing search, and one damaged Serenite titanium, normally around $1000. obtained for for $200. ( Canadian!!) after determining the bent nib was no problem for my repair guy..both guys were in the same room. The presentation box looks more like a casket than a presentation item!

A fun group of vintage Watermans for me:

 

1 #0514 PSF BHR with Gold-filled filigree overlay —I think it's the oldest of the bunch (pre-1917 numbering system)

1 #0552½ BHR with Gold-filled filigree overlay —with super flexy nib!

1 #3 in Steel Quartz

1 #3v (Black and Red —does it have a name?)

1 Italian-made #42 Safety with chased gold body and cap —spectacular writer!

3 #52 Red Ripple —all with semi-flex nibs

1 #52 Woodgrain

1 #56 Red Ripple

1 #94 Olive Ripple

1 Ink-Vue Emerald Ray

1 1940s Commando —great writer!

1 1940s Emblem

1 modern "Opera"

 

A new beauty is on it's way to me next week: a #994 Mahogany. Photos when it arrives!

 

I think that's it...

[HalloweenHJB]

Here it is!

 

This vintage Waterman #994 Mahogany just arrived. Very pleased.

#72

#54, both these last in BHR

#94, in blue ripple

100 Year in Lady size, clear translucent green, ribbed barrel and

100 Year in plain black (late model)

 

I love them all! (Of <course> they all have flexy nibs!)

[ThyPenMaker]

I bought my first Waterman's last month, a Stalwart from Canada.

It is gold streaked with brown. It's not a wet noodle but does flex EF-BBB. Love at first sight. It'll be the first thing I grab in a fire.

[ppdiaporama]

I have two Watermans ... a Carène Deluxe which I purchased just over a month ago ... it's a reliable and smooth writer.

 

And a Waterman Reflex which I've owned for about 5 years. It's a pen that I sometimes carry around in my bag or pants when I need to carry something to write with.

#72

#54, both these last in BHR

#94, in blue ripple

100 Year in Lady size, clear translucent green, ribbed barrel and

100 Year in plain black (late model)

 

I love them all! (Of <course> they all have flexy nibs!)

 

Latest additions:

100 Year in clear, translucent green, ribbed barrel, full-size, to match the Lady one and -- grail pen! --

#58, in BHR, nickel trim and faded to the usual olive colour; but with <perfect>, red imprints!

 

I am therefore at seven vintage Watermans -- enough, I think? HalloweenHJB will hardly agree!

A few too many.
