Nib Swap from a beat up Packard

[AZBennett]

I got 3 beat up pens of the Bay to use as beginners fixer-uppers. Upon cleaning off the nibs I was delighted to find a Watermans #2 nib with quite a bit of flex to it. I have experimented with a few of my other pens to see if this nib will fit, unfortunately it doesn't. I would love to find a suitable body to put this nib in (ideally an eyedropper). Does anyone have suggestions for me? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello fellow Waterman's #2 owner! Most of the vintage Waterman's will fit that nib, if you want an eyedropper the Waterman's 12/14/20 fit the bill perfectly. That's quite an expensive proposition though - a Waterman's 32 lever-filler is probably going to be the cheapest, most practical option.

I will start hunting for one of those options. I just want to get the nib into a suitable body so it can be used, most likely by my wife. It writes too well when dipped to let it sit for long.
