Largest Lever Filler
SOLD
A very large Waterman that has nice color and desirable #8 nib. The color of the ripple is quite nice and the imprints are super crisp. The cap is a definitive ripple while the barrel seems to be a ripple wood grain combination. I am confident that the pen was originally purchased this way as I acquired it from a private party. There are two large orange areas on each side of the lever which sets this pen apart from the usual suspects. The condition is impeccable with no brassing, cracks, chips or wear. The nib is a full, fine with a good bit of flex. The feed is black hard rubber. This large pen is 6 1/8 inches long in the closed position.

Simply put, this is the best example of an Emerald Patrician that I have offered for sale in 20 years of pen collecting/selling. I have had an Emerald Patrician with a price sticker, and even that one was not as nice as this. There is no brassing of the gold filled trim. There is a tiny speck on the face of the clip which looks as if the gold has been nicked. Other than that there is nothing to report. The imprint is crisp, the blind caps are black and the color is uniform and perfect except for the area covered by the cap which is a hair darker. There is no dark stain near the top of the cap or the bottom of the barrel . The nib is a medium flexy Waterman Patrician with an unusual round breather hole, not the typical diamond shape. I have not seen this breather hole before. The pen is 5 7/16 inches long. It is restored and ready to go.

This 416 (marked 16) is a very large filigree eyedropper. The condition is super with no perceptible flaws to note. The pen is a hair under 5 1/2 inches.

Unusual Pattern 999/1000 Fine Silver
This is a less common version of the fine silver pens that usually have wispy lines. This has a thicker silver filigree and therefore is not as delicate as the more common version which often has missing pieces in the silver. All the silver is intact and the 999/1000 fine silver and Waterman imprints are quite sharp. This is not often the case. The number 12 (correct) on the bottom of the pen is crisp. The pen has a rigid medium nib that appears to be a later Waterman nib. This is a nice pen for the collector or user.
Great Color
The blue green ripple is part of the colored hard-rubber pens that were made in the mid-to-late 1920s before Waterman moved to plastic. This color is the second most difficult to find. The 94 is the largest pen in the series. The pen is 5" long and the imprints are super. Even the word "ripple" which is usually worn, is crisp on this pen. There is no brassing anywhere. The pencil is a correct propel (no repel) and is in perfect condition as well. The nib is a Waterman #4 Medium with a good bit of flex. You will love this set!

The sticker reads "92" and the price which is bit worn. The nib is a F-M with a bit of flex. The imprints are quite crisp and the trim is clean but for some brassing on the ball of the pen clip and a little on the edges of the pencil clip. The color of the pen is quite nice but the barrel is a shade darker than the cap. Restored and ready to write.
