Waterman - Serie 94 Lever Filler - Fountain pen

A0000005201 Looking for a writing ensemble that represents the true robustness and elegance of American celluloid from the 1930s? This extraordinary Waterman’s Ideal fountain pen and mechanical pencil set is an outstanding specimen of the coveted Model 94, one of the series most respected by leading historians of world high stationery. Unlike the compact versions of the era, the Model 94 was designed with elongated, regal proportions, offering an ergonomic grip and a commanding presence on the desk. This set is manufactured in the genuine Mahogany finish, a mottled mahogany celluloid that stands out for the richness of its dark tones and contrasting grain. The fountain pen is crowned with its original 14-karat solid gold nib with a heart-shaped breather, a legendary writing instrument for its elasticity and a stroke delivery full of expressive calligraphic personality. Highlights of this Piece Sharp Commercial Engravings: The imprints on the barrel and caps are preserved with extraordinary depth, fully legible and without the usual wear from abrasive polishing, keeping its patrimonial value intact. Official Catalog Marking: The base of the barrel clearly shows the numeric seal 94, an indispensable element that international experts require to certify authenticity and standard size of the piece. Era-Original Personalization Engraving: The fountain pen cap bears the inscription J. D. PEARCE original to the celluloid. Far from detracting value, 1930s personalizations add a unique historical provenance and genuine vintage charm to the lot. Classic Ball-End Hardware: Both the clip finished in a smooth sphere and the elongated filling lever retain a firm gold plating, characteristic of this American-made model.
