COMMENTS: Waterman 7 in Emerald Ray celluloid and gold trim. Step step profile on the cap. Slightly streamlined cap and barrel. This green celluloid is the same used in the Ink-Vue model, also from the 1930s, and it is also the focal point of this pen. This is a larger pen with a larger nib, for vintage standards. Fitted with a fairly large 14k Waterman Ideal  Keyhole  "Green" nib that writes a medium line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth. The iridium tip in this nib is very rounded. The black end plug with the number 7 model imprint at the end of the barrel has some wear and imperfections. If it were not for that cosmetic flaw this pen would be graded as in near mint condition.  A highly desirable pen with one of the most beautiful celluloid colors the Waterman Pen Company ever made. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1930s.

COMMENTS: Waterman Ink-Vue in the Lady Patricia size. Marbled red celluloid. Chrome trim. The Waterman Ink-Vue pens have a split-lever design and a huge ink container, holding large amounts of ink. Feed is made of black hard rubber with an orange stipe on its underside, which is typical in some of these Waterman pens from the 1930s. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal #2 Wet Noodle BB Stub nib. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. When not flex, this nib produces a double broad line in the downstrokes and a fine horizontal line. When flexed, it produces a triple broad line in the downstrokes and a horizontal line. Very unique nib, especially with the massive flexibility and ultra smooth attributes. The chrome trim is graded as in "user grade" condition due to lots of brassing, primarily in the clip and cap band. The clip is also sprung. Both cosmetic issues are reflected on the price. Otherwise, this pen is in great condition. Its celluloid has awesome coloring and two different patterns. The regular marbled pattern throughout most of the pen body, and a geometrical and translucid pattern in the area of the barrel that hold the ink. Great barrel imprints. This pen model was designed to be a short sized pen to fit inside the pockets of a 3-piece suit or to become a full sized and perfectly balanced pen when posted. Pen measures 4 1/4" long capped and 5 1/4" long when posted. Lever filler pen. New sac. Made in USA in the 1930s.
