A variety of interesting vintage Waterman pens. I tried to include simple writing samples!

Waterman 56 Woodgrain - $250 200

A couple of condition issues are clear here. There was a personalized engraving that has been roughly filed away. It can be smoothed, but I will leave that up to the next owner. The clip has been removed and the remains of the pins have been filed down smooth. The nib is a nice XF that offers a bit of flex.
Waterman Commando MUSIC NIB - $500 400

The Commando isn’t the most desirable Waterman, but this one comes with a Waterman #5 Music Nib! Three-tines. Smooth and stubby when used with zero pressure with a good deal of flex available. This #5 Music Nib will fit in your 55 or 7, if you want to move it to an earlier Waterman body. Very rare!
Waterman 14 - Very Early, Ultra-Flex - $OLD

This is a pre-globe imprint. I believe it is from the 1890s. The nib is an EXCEPTIONAL long tine flex nib. XXF to BB with ease. One of the nicest nibs that I have come across. There are a couple of obvious condition issues. First, the clip is missing on the cap. Second, there is some discoloration to the ebonite. I switched out the feed from a narrow one to a wider one, but I will include the original feed with the pen.
Waterman 13 - RARE #3 Nib - $125 95

The 13 is pretty uncommon, with a correct #3 nib is way less common than that. The pen is in very good condition, except for the section, which is cracked. That’s a major issue and needs to be repaired or replaced (probably replaced). The nib is an original stub with great flex. Not just a #3, but a #3 flexible stub!
Waterman 12 Sleeve Filler - $OLD

A 12SF that’s even less common because it is Canadian. Canadian body imprint and Canadian marked nib. The pressure bar emblem is present and looks good. There is some uneven discoloration to the body. Nice bit of flex to it. This is vintage Medium with zero pressure, which is like modern Fine.
Waterman 12 - $100 90

Straightforward Waterman eyedropper. Light ebonite fading, but overall in good condition. Clipless model. Nib offers a decent bit of line variation.
Waterman 12 w/ Gold-Filled Band - $65 55

Serious discoloration of the body. Cap lip has a big crack! Apart from that, this eyedropper pen is working. The nib is a firm XF, so was probably sold as an Accounting nib or similar.
Waterman 52 - $95 85

Chased black ebonite lever filler is in decent condition. Clip is missing from the cap. Beautiful nib on this pen! Very smooth and soft fine flexible nib. Doesn’t get extremely broad, but excellent variation.
