Description

For your consideration we are offering for sale this 1940s Waterman Emblem Fountain Pen in a Brown Celluloid color with Clear End. This is identical to the Hundred Year Pen, renamed after the FTC banned the pen companies' long-term guarantees. I have completely disassembled this fountain pen, cleaned and put it back together and now is in wonderful writing condition.

I ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, section, barrel and cap. Hand cleaned the inside of the barrel and cap with mineral oil. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new, properly sized #18 rubber sac. Hand polished and oiled the Gold Filled Ideal Lever Box Assembly along with the Polishing Waterman Emblem #18 NIB. There is no brassing on the gold filled Waterman clip or cap banding. The lever box arm bar does display some brassing at the center; it functions perfectly and has been cleaned and oiled. The cap does not have any chips, cracks or repairs. The barrel & cap threads are excellent with the cap always securing tightly. There are no monograms on the barrel. This Waterman is the "Supersized" version and measures 5 3/16" inches in length capped and 6 3/16" inches posted.

This fountain pen celluloid is made in the brown or tan coloring. The cap imprint is crisp and reads, "WATERMAN'S MADE IN U.S.A.". The buttend of the pen does not show and cracking or brittleness. The top of the cap is NOT cracked - it is internal adhesive holding the clip intact.

The Emblem NIB is a #18 and has a medium point measuring roughly .89mm, measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with the NIB, it writes with a fine line measuring roughly .43mm on the finest line with light pressure and flexes up to a triple broad stroke and beyond at roughly 2.21mm with medium pressure in the writing sample; I didn't want to overextend the NIB's capabilities but it is a very flexible. The NIB is very responsive and flexes very easily with little to normal pressure under my writing conditions.

The writing sample provided was done with the actual pen in the images that is listed for sale. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and ink before this listing and fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Black Ink.

Any specks of white in the images are from the cotton that I used to clean the barrel and cap.

This is a Gorgeous Waterman Emblem Fountain Pen that is in ready to write condition using this great flexible NIB. This should grade at Excellent to Near Mint condition and really is one for the collector cabinet, as it is a marvelous example.
