Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Circa 1933 Waterman Thorobred Golden Pearl Bronze and Red Veining Celluloid Fountain Pen with Nickel Trim and a semi-flexible nib. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful writing condition.

This fountain pen is made from celluloid in a Golden Pearl Bronze color with red veins. The coloring is spectacular and displays quite vibrantly. The barrel has a very crisp imprint at the center of the barrel that reads, "WATERMAN'S REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. IDEAL GLOBE LOGO MADE IN U.S.A. FOUNTAIN PEN". The butt end of the fountain pen has the Thorobred imprint.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new rubber sac. Hand polished the Nickel Single Cap Band, Nickel Clip, and Nickel Ideal Lever Box Assembly along with the Ideal 14K #2 Nib.

The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly. There are no monograms on the barrel. The clip and cap banding only show the slightest wearing of the Nickel trim. This Waterman Thorobred measures 5" in length capped and 6 1/8" posted. 

The lever and box assembly has been cleaned and oiled. It works flawlessly and smoothly. The filling system works as it was originally intended to.

This Waterman NIB is 14K and is semi-flexible. The actual 14K Waterman NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .72mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with an extra-fine to a double broad stroke/line variation. In the writing sample provided, the extra-fine line measures at .40mm (with light pressure) and will flex to a double broad stroke that measures at 1.51mm with firm pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Blue Ink. 

This vintage Waterman Thorobred Fountain Pen is in ready-to-write condition using the wonderful flexible nib. I would say this fountain pen is in great condition and a spectacular writing instrument to use as an everyday writer. This Waterman is ready to write with or just add to your fine writing instrument collection.
