Extraordinary Pens

1900 Waterman 420 eyedropper-fill in Cardinal Hard Rubber with Sterling Silver “Filigree” overlay. The “20″ was the largest pen Waterman produced, and it is strikingly beautiful in Cardinal Red and Sterling Silver. So rare, it is believed it was only produced by special order. Only two or three known to exist. There are some condition issues (which are reflected in the price), but the main thing is that both the hard rubber and sterling silver are intact on the cap and barrel. The only issue with the overlay top seam edge, which has opened along about 25% of the cap top and some signs of wear and use. Just under the cap top, on the back edge, in extremely small letters (I didn’t see it without my loop) is a previous owner’s name, “Bert Hart.” The clip ball is slightly crushed and there are scratches throughout the overlay noticeable with magnification. Signs of ink in the cap and barrel. The bottom is marked 420, with some wear in the center of the imprint. Despite the issues, it’s a wonderful example of a Holy Grail of pen collecting and, as they say, try to find another. Huge, No.10 nib (broad).

1900 Waterman 420 eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber with Sterling Silver Filigree overlay. The “20″ was the largest pen Waterman produced, and the sterling silver contrasting on the black underlay (no oxidation at all), is exquisite. Indicia engraved “Dewill Miller.’ in attractive script. Miller (1857 – 1911) was a Professor of History and Mental Philosophy at Pennington Seminary, Pennington, PA, as well as a Methodist Minister. He was also an obsessive book collector. Barrel bottom imprinted “20″ (a little worn, but fully readable). Minor wear here and there to the overlay, noticeable only with a loop, with no cracks, tears, etc. Three or four small dings in the cap top. Near mint. Very minor signs of ink in the cap and barrel. Huge No. 10 nib (medium/broad).

1900 Waterman 20 eyedropper-fill in Red Mottled Hard Rubber. Huge pens were a vogue at the time; there was the Parker Giant, the Parker Ultra Giant, the Dunn Giant, the Montblanc 12 Safety, the Moore 10 Safety and the Waterman 20 (cone cap and Safety). This example is in wonderful condition, with just a little imprint wear to the center and third line of the barrel imprint (otherwise near mint). The mottled 20 is far, far rarer than the Black Hard Rubber (smooth or chased) models. Huge No. 10 nib (medium/broad).

1909 Parker Red Giant eyedropper-fill in Cardinal Hard Rubber. The first I have ever seen without any cap cracks and with all parts intact! Described by Parker in 1908 as follows: “It’s so big and startling we will guarantee a broad smile from You when You see it. It is made entirely of maroon rubber, fitted with a No. 10 pen, and the price will be $10.. We will be ready to fill orders about February 10.” The pen, primarily its cap, proved to be very fragile, and very few exist today without cap damage. In 1914 the “Black Giant” was introduced. Despite the fragility of the Red Hard Rubber, while Parker discontinued all other red pens in 1915, they continued to produce the Red Giant until 1918. The Black Giant continued until 1920. Cap with two-line imprint “The Red Giant” (some wear but fully readable) and the “Parker VV Pat. Feb. 12, 07″ clip, named for its inventor, Levi D. Van Valkenberg. Barrel with three line imprint: George S. Parker [LUCKY] Fountain Pen Janesville WIS. [CURVE] U.S.A. PAT JAN.9. 94 [BANNER] JUN 29..98. JAN 33.05. JUN.5.05The entire left side of the imprint and the Lucky Curve Banner are weak and pretty much unreadable. Large No. 12 nib (medium, semi-flexible). If you are considering buying this fantastic pen, and don’t, you are certain to have remorse!

1910 Waterman “World’s Smallest Pen” eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber. Often called the “Doll Pen” because one rests in Queen Mary’s doll house, on the King’s Library Table. Just over 1.5″ long and less than 1/8″ in diameter, this pen was actually produced by Waterman as a way for their salesmen to spend time with potential new accounts. Their salesmen would visit a druggist, jeweler, shop owner, to try to open a new account. The buyer would inevitably say that they didn’t need a new pen line and were happy with what they had. The salesman would now offer to show them the “World’s Smallest Pen” as long as he was there (often alongside a Waterman 20!). This allowed more time and interaction together, and often resulted in a sale! Waterman then published in their in-house newspaper, Pen Prophet, that they would produce these for sale by their vendors as a special order item only. Near mint+, and extremely rare, especially in the original “coffin” box!

1910 Waterman “World’s Smallest SAFETY Pen” eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber. Yes, it has an operating spiral, just like any of the larger size production models! See above for more information about Waterman’s World’s Smallest Pens. Near mint+, and extremely rare, especially in the original cardboard box!

1920 Montblanc #8 Rouge et Noir Safety eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber. “Rouge et Noir,” introduced in 1909, was the first line of pens produced by the Simplo Pen Company. Their second line of pens was the “Montblanc,” introduced a year later. In 1934, in recognition of the success and fame of the Montblanc line, the Simplo Pen Company was renamed “Montblanc Simplo GMBH”. The Rouge et Noir line continued until at least 1923. In the model offered here, note the rare horizontal chasing of the inner cap (just below the red star) and at the joint between the barrel and turning knob. Simplo eventually replaced this with vertical chasing, still used today. Large, “MONTBLANC 8 14CT” nib (fine, triple-flexible), also imprinted at the heel (out of view), “Hamburg,” correct for a 1920’s Rouge et Noir. Cap with “Rouge et Noir” imprint and three vent holes (many caps have four vent holes). Barrel imprint, “Rouge et Noir Original Pat. Ap.” (not all easily readable) and an owner’s imprint, “–ilio De Marchi Gherini” (beginning few letters unreadable). The Italian owner’s imprint is not surprising as all post-WWI Rouge et Noir pens were exported for sale in Italy. Turning knob imprinted “8M.” Some distress to the lower knurling and wear here and there, commensurate with a 100 year old pen. The largest size made of this extremely rare and highly desirable pen! Pen was used during its heyday, with dried ink inside the barrel. Unrestored.

1940 Omas Itala Cromograph oversize double-nibbed cam-operated pump-fill in Grey Striated. Perhaps the rarest of and the holy grail for collectors of vintage Omas pens. “Itala Cromograf” was trademarked in 1936 by Girodi & Campanelli and registered in France in 1938 with their patent granted in 1939. In 1941 Omas registered in Geneva a company called “Societa Anonima Vendita Penna Bicolor Itala Cromograph,” which translates to “Sale of two-tone Itala Cromograph Incorporated Company.” While “Omas” does not appear on the pen itself, it’s known that Omas registered this new company for the sale and/or distribution of the Itala Cromograph they were now producing. Barrel imprint, “Itala-cromo-graph.” Both nibs (fine) imprinted “Itala 585 Cromograph.” Made in black as well as various colors, it has a very complex mechanism consisting of a gear and series of springs. Pulling the blind cap down first propels one nib, pulling it again automatically retracts that nib and propels the other. Two ink reservoirs. To fill, first extend the blind cap. You’ll see two small fins. Slide one tab to the left and then press the blind cap to operate the button-fill mechanism. When finished, slide the fin back in place. Do the same with the second fin to fill the other reservoir. New-old-stock. Mint. Hyperlink to patent (in French, but the drawings show the extreme complexity of the inner mechanism): https://www.fountainpen.it/File:Patent-FR-840819.pdf.

1945 Colorado double-barreled, double nibbed PIF in Black with “scissor” barrel configuration. Originally thought to be an Omas product, we have now learned that Colorado pens were manufactured in a very small plant in the Bologna area owned and run by Orlando Quadretti, who got a patent for the pen in 1949, at the end of WWII. NPT. Red dot & white dot on gripping sections so you know which side has which color ink. Incredible pen, almost never found in this condition. Shown open. The scissor “swivel” allows the user to fill each of the two reservoirs separately. Medium nibs. Near mint+ (could be new-old-stock). See also The Short Life of the Colorado, PENNA #109-2014: http://www.pennamagazine.com/en/vintage_pens/the-short-life-of-the-colorado-_29.

1932 Zerollo/Dunhill “Two Pen” Matchstick-fill in Black Chased Spiral hard Rubber. Clip imprinted ‘D.D. Zerollo” Nibs each signed “John Dunhill” who had the marketing license for the English speaking market. There was also a marketing agreement in France with the “Unic” Company. This pen was produced in two sizes, which are equally rare, this is the larger of the two. GFT. The cap top unscrews to reveal the matchstick filler. There are two separate reservoirs, one for each of the nibs. Turn the bottom knob to propel one nib, turn in the other direction to propel the other. Medium nibs. Extremely rare! Some wear to the clip, otherwise near mint++. Hyperlink to patent: https://www.fountainpen.it/File:Patent-US-1893130.pdf

1945 Parker Design Shop (Prototype?) 51 “Red Band” BF Demonstrator in Black with three barrel cutouts and a clear acrylic shell. Named “Red Band” after the color of the threaded bushing at the bottom of the barrel. This was Parker’s first try at replacing the Vacumatic-filler 51 (followed by the Parker 45 and then the Parker 51 “Foto-Fill” system – shortly renamed the “Aerometric”). The red plastic threads broke easily and were soon replaced by red anodized metal threads. There are two other demonstrator designs known, one entirely clear acrylic, the other with a transparent acrylic shell and solid color barrel. This is a button-fill pen, using a grey, polyurethane bladder. Brushed Lustraloy (stainless steel) cap. New-old-stock. Excruciatingly rare (produced only from June 1946 to December 1947). Another example is shown in Shepherd’s book, page 38. Perhaps a prototype since came from the estate of the Parker Design Shop employee and there are no “PARKER” or other manufacturer identification markings on the barrel or shell. Medium/fine nib. The filler mechanism works. Parker 51 “Red Band” Instructions and Close-up.

1945 Parker Design Shop (Prototype?) 51 “Red Band” BF in Cedar Blue. Most “Red Band” 51s found are Black, with only a few found in Dove Grey and even fewer in Cedar Blue. Early, plastic threads, soon changed to aluminum because of easy breakage during use. 1/8 14K gold-filled cap in the “Fully Pinstriped” pattern. Near mint. Perhaps a prototype since it came from the estate of the Parker Design Shop employee and there are no “PARKER” or other manufacturer identification markings on the barrel or shell. Hackett’s newly designed nib (extra-fine). The filler mechanism works but, as described above, the section is not sealed to the barrel. We can seal this for you but then the pen cannot be returned. Parker 51 “Red Band” Instructions and Close-up.

Parker 51 Pens and Pencils from their Product Development Department (Prototypes)

Parker “51 Vacumatic” and “51 Red Band” new old stock pens & pencils from 1945 and 1946. These all came from the estate of Merle Heskett, a metallurgist who worked for Parker from 1945 to 1947 or 1948 and worked on the development of the metal components of the 51 Red Band (filler button, spring, spade press bar assembly, nib). According to Merle’s son (interviewed by Victor Chen in the early 2000’s), the army released his father around 1944 who then returned home to his family in Illinois. When Parker offered Hackett a job to help develop the filling system for what would become the “51 Red Band,” they allowed him to commute by train between Iowa and Wisconsin, traveling to the factory on Monday & home for week-ends. Trains did not always run because of the weather so Heskett took work to his home workshop. When he left Parker to work in the aerospace industry in Southern California, Hackett took his Parker stash with him (side note: he was also offered a job with Dairy Queen, but told his family “Americans will never eat soft ice cream.”).

According to his son, besides selecting the red color for the bushing, Heskett also modified the Parker 51 nib, developing a new nib design for the “Red Band,” which was then carried into the 51 Vacumatic, at least through 1947. His design had a shorter slit which ends at a circle embossed into the gold, and with the vent hole a ways below the circle. His son said Heskett’s goal was to achieve a softer feel and increased ink flow.

The Design Shop 51 Red Bands and Vacumatics offered below from Heskett’s estate all contain his newly modified nib. Interestingly, the location of the compressed circle varies in many of the nibs, which would not likely be found in production nibs (were these prototypes, or was Parker supplying the Design Shop with reject nibs?). The nib date codes run from 1945 to 1946. This also seems to be a fair way to date these pens (since none of the pen barrels have a final polish or a date stamp, the pens can’t be dated in the more traditional way).

The Red Band sac is a grey silicone based polyurethane material. Heskett also used a grey material for the diaphragms in four of the six Design Shop Vacumatic-fill 51’s offered here. We don’t believe this material was used in production 51’s but, even if it was, it would still likely be prototype use in the 51s offered here.

None of these pens show any use or signs of ink. Except for the Red Band Demonstrator (which is solvent sealed), none of the sections are sealed to the barrels (not even the second Red Band). No barrels or filler units are shellac sealed. None of the pens have a Parker imprint or date code, so they did not progress through the production department. All are right from Hesket’s Design Shop stash.

By 1942, only a year after launch, single jewel 51s were introduced to save brass for the war effort. The rarest colors, in both double and single-jewel, are Buckskin Beige, Nassau Green and Yellowstone (mustard). Note that both a double-jewel Buckskin Beige and Nassau Green are included in these Design Shop pens. Perhaps more important, also included are two prototype single-jewel pens in a unique prototype Green color. The color is a shade darker than the Nassau Green and nowhere near as dark as the Forrest Green which eventually made it into the 1949 Parker 51 Aerometric introduction.

The pencil barrels and mechanisms are old new stock. All the barrel lead holders show no sign of ever holding an eraser. There are a few prototypes offered along with some normal production pencils. We can’t be sure why the normal production pencils were in the Design Shop; perhaps they were intended to be used to house new prototype cap and/or barrel designs, but were never put to use by the time Heskett left Parker.

A Page of Beautiful Black Hard Rubber Pens

97
1905 A.A. Waterman#201/M3 #3 Twist-fill Cone Cap in BCHR. GF clip and wide, repousse cap band. The A.A. Waterman Pen Company was founded about 1897 in New York City by Arthur A. Waterman who was no relation to L.E. Waterman. A.A. was pushed out of his company in 1905 when Frazier & Geyer successfully sued him and took over the company. About 1912, L.E. Waterman also sued the A.A. Waterman Company and forced them to put a disclaimer stating, “Not connected with the L.E. Waterman Co.” on all their pens, such as this one, and advertising. The A.A. Waterman Pen Company began to fade away about 1916 and was just a memory by the 1920s. Broad, triple-flexible, italic nib. New-old-stock. Mint.
$275
98
1918 Conklin #20 Crescent-fill “Dummy” in Black Chased Hard Rubber. A mock pen, used for window displays, so a sellable pen would not get ruined by the heat, sunlight, etc. The pen is either painted black or heavily coated in clear sealant, so it wouldn’t discolor from the elements while on display. The cap can go onto the top or bottom. The nib is signed “14K Gold Plate.” The lock ring doesn’t turn. The very bottom of the pen is configured as a “V,” perhaps to lock the pen in place so it can’t turn and ruin the display. A wonderful piece of ephemera!
$85

1905 Conklin S3 Crescent-fill in Black Chased Hard Rubber. GFT. Early, slip cap model. Fine, triple-flexible nib! Near mint..
$350
100
1910 Crocker #3 Blow-fill in Black Chased Hard Rubber. Screw cap. To fill, with the nib covered by ink in the bottle, the user puts the pen into his or her mouth and blows into the bottom of the barrel. The pneumatic pressure depresses the bladder. Release, and the bladder fills. Eventually Crocker provided a rubber bulb to fit over the barrel end to serve the same purpose. Crocker was founded in the late 1890’s by Seth Crocker who would later start the Chilton Pen Company. Their first filling mechanism was the “blow-filler,”followed by the hatchet-filler in 1913 “14K (in a wreath)” extra-fine, semi-flexible nib. Near mint.
$100
101
1930 De La Rue “The New Swift” LF in smooth Black Hard Rubber with Cardinal cap top and matching gripping section. NPT. UK manufacture. De La Rue was founded in 1821 in London, primarily as a printing company. They started manufacturing pens in the early 1900s, first plunger-fillers and then lever-fillers. “14Ct” nib (medium). Near mint+.
$200
102
1920 General Manuifacturing “Snapfill” #2 LF in Black Chased Hard Rubber. Unusual filling Mechanism. When you lift the lever from the barrel, a small hinged extension drops from the lever to the press bar. Pressing the lever then depresses the bar, filling the pen. When the press bar is fully depressed, the hinged extension automatically snaps back into the lever and a “click” is heard as the lever lowers back into place in the barrel. Shown “open” in the photo. GF chased cap band; NP clip. General Manufacturing, in Sioux City, Iowa, also made the Houston Fountain Pen. Medium/fine nib with a tad of flex. Near mint.
$150
103
1905 Lakeside #2 Thumb-fill in Black Chased Hard Rubber. GFT. The filler slot is cut out of the barrel. When in use, all you see is a solid brass tube. When the barrel is rotated 180 degrees, the thumb fill mechanism appears – press to fill. Wide band at cap top (“B” engraved at rear). Early, hard rubber, Lakeside, Banner and Remington pens were manufactured by Lapp & Flershem, Chicago, IL. They went out of business in 1922. “Warranted 14KK 3″ nib (broad, extra-flexible). Near mint.
$150

$575
105
1915 Rexall #6 Sleeve-fill in Black Chased Hard Rubber. Imprint reads, “Rexall Self Filler – United Drug Co – US Patent 807500.” United Drug Stores, which sold products under the Rexall name, was founded in 1903 by pharmacist Louis Liggett. Other house pen brands were Belmont and Monogram. Very large, cone cap pen. The bottom half of the barrel slides down revealing the “thumb-fill” mechanism. Press to fill. “Warranted 14 Karat 6″ nib (medium, extra-flexible). Near mint+
$600
106
1906 John Holland #3 (VP) “Saddle-fill” in Black Hard Rubber. Rare and highly unusual model. Barrel threads screw into the bottom of the cap. The barrel bottom fits into an almost a ½” recess built into the top of the cap (like a candle fitting into a candle holder). To fill, lift the GF metal half ring (the “saddle”). The barrel is also the gripping section. The barrel threads are only 1/8″ long and a smaller diameter than the barrel. John Holland, Cincinnati, OH, made very high quality pens. George Parker sold Holland pens before starting his own pen company. Fine, flexible nib. Near mint+

1970 Parker 75 Titanium cartridge/converter-fill Set in Titanium. GFT. The T-1, with it’s integrated titanium gripping section and nib, was a short lived model, as Parker discovered that it cost them more to make than their selling price. They eventually used up the titanium caps and barrels for the Parker 75, which didn’t require the complicated titanium integrated gripping section/nib. Fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box with original “Parker Titanium” brochure. Converter included. Photo of set with packaging.

Two Pages of Vintage Waterman Pens

222
1905 Waterman 12 eyedropper-fill Chatelaine ring-top in Black Hard Rubber. Very rare, early and short lived model with a long barrel, designed to be comfortable to hold while the cap is still hanging from the watch chain or chatelaine. This is Waterman’s first screw cap pen, introduced in 1908 preceding the 1913 introduction of their “POC” line with it’s cap threads (soon renamed to the 7xx model series). Compared with the POC, the Chatelaine series had extremely thin barrel threads, an extra-long gripping section, and no inner-cap. GFT, including the wide repousse barrel and cap-top bands. Fine, extra-flexible nib. Near mint.
$350

His family emigrated to the USA in 1662. Zabriskie worked for Pillsbury Flour Mills, was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, and served as President of the New York Historical Society. Near mint in box with original papers, including the 12/2/27 sales slip from Waterman, 181 Broadway, NYC, for $29.12 (a wonderful piece of ephemera – see it in the photo)! Fine nib. A very interesting oddity about the pen is the factory clip which does not use the typical ball at the open end of the clip! Photo of pen with packaging.
