COMMENTS: Waterman Patrician pen set in Onyx color. Red hard rubber ends, section and feed. Gold Trim. Wide gold bands on the caps. Waterman globe medallion insert in gold color at the end of the barrel. The Onyx color is a marbled cream celluloid with red veining. It is a gorgeous color. It goes very well with its red garnishment pieces. The Patrician was the largest sized and top of the line model offered by the Waterman Pen Company in the 1930s. It is a huge pen by vintage standards, Very wide diameter and with significant heft. It uses a huge nib for vintage standards. Fitted with its correct 14k Waterman Ideal Patrician nib, which happens to be a Superflex nib that writes a fine to double broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing ay any speed when not flexed. Perfect barrel imprints. No brassing on the gold trim. Ultra clean red trim pieces in red hard rubber. The only flaw in this pen is some discoloration in the fountain pen cap and barrel. The Onyx color is notorious for this. Still in good shape and gorgeous. If it were not for this cosmetic flaw this pen set would be graded as in near mint condition. A highly desirable pen set with one of the most beautiful celluloid colors the Waterman Pen Company ever made. Lever filler. New sac. Mechanical pencil is fully operational, in near mint condition, and it uses the twist mechanism. This is a highly collectable and valuable mechanical pencil, especially in this condition. Made in USA in the 1930s.
Note 1: I will NOT split the set and the sell the fountain pen by itself.
Note 2: Correct 14k Extra Fine/Fine (XF/F) nib available for this pen offering. With the firm nib, the price of this pen set will be $1600.

Overall Grade: Very Good Metal: Excellent Color: Good
Nib condition: Excellent t Thread: Excelent Clarity: N/A
Nib Type: Superflex F-BB Imprints: No Length: 4 1/4”
PRICE: $770
COMMENTS: Waterman fountain pen in the "Persian" color and gold trim. Wide gold band on the cap. Black lip on cap. The Persian color is a marbled cream and light green pattern, a very gorgeous one in fact. Very few vintage Waterman pens were produced in this celluloid color and they are very desirable and valuable, especially when in good condition. The size of this pen sample is almost identical to a Waterman 52V or 3V, meaning it is a small pen. Pen measures 4 1/4" long (capped) and 5 3/4" long (posted). becomes a full sized pen when posted. The celluloid color is the focal point of this pen. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal #2 superflex nib (borderline with a wet noodle) that writes a fine to double broad line (borderline with a triple broad line). Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, capable of writing at any speed when not flexed, and an extremely responsive nib. In my responsiveness scale from zero to 10, this nib is graded at 8, making it a more valuable and desirable flex nib. Gold trim is in awesome condition with just a couple of small spots of tarnish in the rounded area of the lever. Great barrel imprints. If it were not for significant discoloration on the celluloid, this pen would be graded as in near mint condition. Still a very handsome and an ultra desirable pen with lots of collector's value due to its celluloid color. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1930s.

Overall Grade: Excellent Metal: Excellent Color: Excellent
Nib condition: Excellent Thread: Excellent Clarity: N/A
Nib Type: Medium, Rigid Imprints: No Length: 4 1/4”
PRICE: $440
COMMENTS: Waterman Ink-Vue in black celluloid and gold trim. Translucid area in the barrel (amber in color) allowing to see the ink level inside the pen. This translucid area has the diagonal striped pattern, just like the "Ray" colored celluloid Ink-Vues and Waterman 7s in celluloid of the 1930s. This translucid pattern is very hard to photograph. Stepped ends. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal Keyhole "Green" #5 nib that writes a firm medium line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. The underside of the feed has an orange stripe, which is the correct feed for this particular model. Nice little touch of coolness in an otherwise more austere black colored pen. The celluloid has great coloring, but it appears like someone applied too much heat to the blind cap as it had a small bulge (deformation), as shown in the close up picture with the Waterman imprint on the blind cap. The gold trim is almost perfect. There are a couple of very small spots of brassing in the upper part of the clip on the cap. These are two cosmetic flaws, represented in the low value of this pen. If it were not for that flawed, this pen would be graded as in mint condition. Perfect barrel imprints. Double-action lever filler pen. New sac. Made in USA in the 1930s.
