COMMENTS: Waterman 12 Eyedropper pen in Smooth Black Hard Rubber. Full sized pen. Clipless version (from the factory). Domed ends. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal New York #2 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 zero to 100, this nib is graded at 95. Likewise, in my responsiveness scale from zero to 10, this nib is graded at 9. These two attributes make this an ultra rare nib, a highly desirable and a very valuable flex nib. This is also a very user friendly nib. The nib in this pen offering has a cosmetic issue. It looks like someone did some hard sanding on the tip of the nib, leaving those sanding marks. This is a purely cosmetic issue (looks) as this flex nibs performs exceptionally well. The price of this offering alludes to that cosmetic issue. The hard rubber of this eyedropper is in awesome condition. Very smooth and with black lustrous colors. Minimal discoloration, which is amazing as this pen is 120+ years old. Perfect threads. Eyedropper filler. Serviced. Made in USA circa 1905.

COMMENTS: Waterman 415 eyedropper pen with a sterling silver filigree overlay over smooth black rubber. Basket weave pattern. Clipped cap. The 415 model is a Waterman 15 with the sterling silver overlay. The 15 model is a significantly larger model than the more common 12 model. Longer, wider and with a much larger nib. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal New York #5 superflex nib (borderline line a wet noodle) that writes a fine to triple broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. The sterling silver filigree has light dents at the end of the cap and some light scratches, tarnish and patina throughout its exterior. This is common in sterling silver pens as sterling silver is a softer material that is more prone to dents and scratching. However, it is still in very good condition, and much better than average for a pen that is 110+ years of age. No engraving or personalization on the indicia of the barrel. Great imprints on the cap and barrel. The black rubber is in great condition and has great coloring. Eyedropper filler. Serviced. Made in USA c.1910
