L. E. Waterman - Fountain Pen Manufacture In 1912

[Left FPN]

I purchased this original document, Scientific American Supplement No 1886 February 24 1912, and would like to share it with all L E Waterman followers, experts, lovers and many others.

 

It's is probably a rare document showing the personnel, machines and methods of production.

 

Enjoy,

How much today would that box of pens be under the Fig 16, Chasing Machine.

It was interesting to look at the machinery employed.

Thank you for sharing that; I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures and the description of the process!

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

 

As for the box of pens in fig. 16. Well let's imagine its a gross. Enough to pay for a nice long holiday I'd say.

I like seeing pictures of the production process, especially when its this old.

Thank you for sharing
