COMMENTS: Waterman 7 pen set in Red Ripple hard rubber and gold trim. The Waterman 7 red ripple (based on the Waterman 55 red ripple) is an iconic model. It was a huge marketing deal for The Waterman Pen Company. The launched several "colored" bands on the upper area of the cap with their corresponding "colored" nibs in 1927. The fountain pens sold for $7 each. The Waterman 7 red ripple is exactly the same size and shares lots of its components with the Waterman 55. This sample comes with the correct and matching "Pink" color band sandwiched on two white disks on the cap, indicating it is a second generation model. Fitted with its correct 14k Waterman Ideal Keyhole "Pink" #7 wet noodle nib that writes an extra fine to triple broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. In my flexibility scale from zero to 100, this nib is graded at 90. Likewise, in my responsiveness scale from zero to 10, this nib is graded at 8. These attributes make this pen extremely rare and valuable. This is an extremely clean sample of an iconic pen model. Fantastic red ripple color with lots color vibrancy and gloss finish. Great barrel imprints. Gold trim has some brassing, as show in the pictures. Otherwise, this is an extremely clean sample of an iconic vintage Waterman pen. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1920s.

COMMENTS: From my personal collection ... Waterman 56 pen set in Cardinal Red hard rubber and gold trim. This pen set is comprised of the fountain pen, mechanical pencil, and a hard shell presentation box. An astonishing (and huge) pen set! The Cardinal Red color is the hardest to find among all hard rubber colors produced by Waterman. The 56 is one of the largest models produced by the Waterman Pen Company back in the day. An oversized pen, both in length and diameter. Fitted with its correct 14k Waterman #6 superflex nib that writes a broad to double broad line (border line with a triple broad). This is a "Stubbish" nib, meaning its writing characteristics resemble a Stub nib. It does not write quite like a Stub nib, but is fairly close. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. The Cardinal Red color is in awesome condition. Very vibrant colors with lots of luster. Light scratches on the exterior of the body. Awesome barrel imprints. Gold trim is also in fantastic condition. Pen measures 5 5/8" long (capped), and 7 1/4" long (posted). Lever filler. New sac. Mechanical pencil uses the twist mechanism. It is in full operational condition and also in near mint condition. The presentation case is the hard shell type, blue exterior and a cream color liner with a tri-color ribbon. Some darkened areas in the cream liner and some nicks in the exterior of the case. Otherwise, in very good condition. Made in USA in the 1920s.
