WARSAW ^^^^^ INTRODUCTION IT WAS IN THE YEAR 1883 that Lewis Edson Waterman devised the first practical fountain pen — the immediate ancestor of the present day Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen. What made this first Waterman's a successful, practical fountain pen was a unique feed that delivered the ink in a constantly controlled flow to the tip of the pen point until the last minute drop was used up. This three-fissure "spoon feed" devised by Mr. Waterman — which utilized the principle of capillary attraction — worked so perfectly that very little change has since been made to it. All Waterman's holders are scientifically balanced. Points are perfectly made of 14-kt. solid gold, tipped with the highest grade iridium — for various handwritings and uses as is fully explained on page 9. Many people still prefer the old style dropper-filled type of fountain pens and for the accommodation of such customers we maintain a small stock of this character of Waterman's Pens. However, all the pens shown in this catalogue are equipped with a most efficient and simple filling device that quickly and completely fills the extra large capacity ink sac of long life rubber. All pens and pencils are shown in actual size and colors and except where otherwise specifically stated, the holder mountings are gold-filled. In ordering a Waterman's fountain pen, pencil or desk set, be sure to specify its color as well as its individual number or name. The first Waterman's "factory" was a kitchen table in the rear of a tobacco store in New York City. Today Waterman's Pens, Pencils, Desk Sets and Inks are made in three large, modern factories and are sold and serviced in all parts of the civilized world. No matter which one of the many styles of Waterman's you choose, you can rest assured that it embodies every mechanical improvement that could possibly better its use as a writing instrument. And inasmuch as a Waterman's is the product of the most scientific knowledge, the most highly skilled labor and the very finest of materials it is possible to employ in the manufacture of a fountain pen, each Waterman's is unqualifiedly guaranteed forever against all defects. PAGE THREE Waterman's Ideal I Fountain Pens CJhe P AT Psl CIA N 5; mint Patrician Turquoise Pen S10 The Patrician is known as the world's very finest and most beautiful fountain pen for men — a triumph of nearly a half century of Waterman's achievement. It is a large size pen in a distinctive, modern design and with all the built-in excellencies that have ever characterized a Waterman's. Perfect balance. Extra generous ink capacity. Always dependable ink feed. And with an over-size point especially hand-crafted for this very finest of Waterman's. The Patrician can be had in a wide range of points — as outlined on page 9.

It embodies many features dear to the feminine heart — dainty, jewel-like design — slender grip — and a chic, modern clasp that secures Lady Patricia conveniently upright in even a crowded bag. The polished disc on top of cap offers an ideal place for engraving. Lady Patricia can be had with any of the points described on page 9. . PAGE SIX Waterman's Ideal Qhe LADY PATKICIA PENCILS Fountain Pens I in Lady Patricia Chromium mountings Pencil S3 : Ladv Patricia Chromium mountings Pencil S3 The dainty Lady Patricia pencils match perfectly in appearance and writing qualities the Lady Patricia pens on the opposite page. Each has Waterman's propel-repel-expel device which is self-cleaning and, therefore, prevents lead jamming. Accommodates standard, small site leads. Also equipped with an easy-to-get-at eraser and a supply of leads. And the polished metal disc top of the Lady Patricia may be used for engraving. PAGE SEVEN Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pens Qhe NUMBER SEVEN No. 7 Jet 7 pens, each $7 (When ordering a No. 7 pen be sure to give the color symbol of the pen point desired; viz: "No. 7, Red" IF you wish a Standard point — or "No. 7, Purple," (or Stiff-Fine.) The world's most practical pen! Each No. 7 has a specific kind of point identified by a color symbol — as explained on opposite page. Because of No. 7's exclusive, patented "Tip-Fill" feed the nib need be inserted in ink just deep enough to cover keyhole vent for complete filling. Holder does not touch the ink — therefore, cleaning after each filling is eliminated. Orna- mental band is amply wide for engraving. Perfectly matching, latest propel- repel-expel type pencil — with an eraser and an extra supply of leads. PAGE EIGHT Waterman's Ideal Fountain P< WATERMAN'S PEN POINT SELECTION Waterman's has always recognized the im- portance of providing the proper pen point for each writer to secure permanent pen satisfac- tion. But we have found — through our long service to fountain pen users — that from a certain seven different points 959c °f a 'l writers can be satisfied. These seven different points form the basis of our exclusive No. 7 method of pen point selec- tion. Each one of these seven points is shaped, tempered and ground to a certain never-varying standard for a specific kind of writing, and is identified by a color. The characteristics cf each of these points and its identifying color symbol are shown below. A pen point preference once determined can always be matched or duplicated by means of our Color Chart. This is particularly easily done in our seven No. 7 pens (and also the No. 5 pens) each of which has a different type of pen point identified by its individual color symbol on butt of pen holder and also by its color name stamped on the nib. While the No. 7 and the No. 5 pens are the only Waterman's showing color symbols and color names, any Waterman's pen in this cata- I ogue may be had with a point to duplicate the action of any of the points shown in the Chart. To secure a particular point for the desired Waterman's order the point by its color, viz: "Patrician Moss-Agate with a Red point" (if you desire this pen with a Standard point) — or "Patrician Moss-Agate with a Purple point" (if you want a Stiff-Fine point). o • YELLOW Rounded The tip is ball shape.

In addition to the points described above, we stock other points for various writing preferences — such as Extra Broad, Extra Fine, and Oblique — and for special uses like the Music Point and the Artist Point illus- trated, and the Duo Point with its two nib actions — Fine and medium in one point, etc. In fact, we will be glad to suggest a pen point for any special writing requirement as we can duplicate, on special order, the action of any steel pen in a long-lasting 14-kl. solid gold point. The artist point and a specimen of its woik. PAGE NINE Waterman's Ideal I * Fountain Pens Qh& NUMBER FIVE Each No. 5 pen has a color sym- bol that identifies its particular kind of pen point. No. 5 Jet Seven pens, each $5 (When ordering a No. 5 pen be sure to give the Color symbol of the pen point desired, viz: "No. 5, Red" if you wish a Standard point— or "No. 5, Purple" for Stiff-Fine.) Although smaller than No. 7, the seven No. 5 pens have the same range of points and employ the same method of point identification as used by the No. 7 group. See preceding page. No. 5 is the choice of those who prefer a moderate siie, conservative pen. Perfectly balanced and with every Waterman's excellence, including a liberal ink capacity. Gold-filled mount- ings — the clip being placed high to allow pen to set low in pocket. Pencil of same design and equipped with eraser and an extra supply of leads. ten Waterman's Ideal CJhe NINETY- TWO : No. 91 Red and Gold Pencil Si, 50 No. 91 Jet 'encil $1.50 No. 91 Green and Gold Pencil SI. 50 No. 92 Red and Gold Pen S3. 50 No 92 jreen and Gold Pen 13.50 The No. 92 pen and matching No. 91 pencil < material in snappy — yet simple — lines.
