FS: Waterman's No. 7 full set of seven pens with color-coded nibs
"Her Eyes Were Made to Worship" by Harrison Fisher
cover Saturday Evening Post - October 10, 1908
SOLD: Waterman's No. 7 full set of seven pens with color-coded nibs. These are the rarer jet-black celluloid (not hard rubber) pens made when the celluloid Patricians were released. Notice the elegant clip, band and lever end. The blue stub "blunt" nib pen (my favorite) was owned and engraved by early 20th-century Saturday Evening Post and Cosmopolitan illustrator Harrison Fisher (see illustration, above). Here's one of his pen and ink drawings.
The set includes a flex brown and semi-flex red M. Of course, there's the legendary much-in-demand No. 7 pink EF full flex nib pen that writes wonderfully. The yellow nib has that ball tip that's great for lefties. Then there's the fine and stiff purple. The green is a manifold nib, best nib for carbon copies. Close-ups of the nibs appear in post #9 (below). $3750 including shipping to anywhere in the USA; more elsewhere. I will also include the matching mechanical pencil.

NB. The jet black pens never had a black nib. As to the mythological white nib, I'll leave that up to the imagination!
