Waterman Red Ripple #7 Collection

[pokermon]

Drooling! I love ripples. They are absolutely amazing. Your collection is quite something. How long did it take you to amass such an awesome collection of 7's?

I do get a bit dizzy looking at them.

UPDATE:

Since this was first posted I have added a GREY #7. Now if someone will just point me in the direction of a BLACK one!

BTW, many people claim to have seen a Yeti. Many claim to have been kidnapped by aliens and taken aboard flying saucers. Yet, I don't know of a single person who even claims to have seen a WHITE #7 nib, never mind owning one.

Well, you do have a Pink which commands big $$$$$$. Is it because it's the most flexible.

[Procyon]

Yes, the "wet-noodle" has become very popular, so the PINK commands high prices. Actually, the GREY and BROWN are harder to find and also pretty expensive. However, the BLACK (basically the same nib as PINK) is super rare, and is worth a small fortune. A lot of people think the BLACK was produced because macho types didn't want to buy a PINK nib, but wanted a narrow, super-flexy nib.

Beautiful pens Procyon! I usually don't post in this forum, but I bought an unrestored Red Ripple with BROWN nib as well as the original box and paperwork at a local antique store today. So I went looking in this forum for information and saw your great collection. I'm now super excited to see what mine will look like once I get it restored.

Congrats, almost a full set =)

 

Now I really want a blue nib...

[Procyon]

I love to write with the BLUE nib. Actually it is my favorite!

This should be worth watching.

Force, that has a later lever on it. Won't hurt the function of course.

 

I just saw the request for pictures of my ripples, I'll try to take some this weekend.

I did pick up a Black 5 Red and a Black 7 Brown.

ahhh yes, but I suspect finding an original replacement will be easier than a clip.

Finding either one is pretty easy, but a lever box is much easier to replace than a riveted clip.
