Featured Listings

Collectors have largely neglected Waterman's later production, but while the postwar pens don't offer the variety of the hard rubber era, or the bold color and style of the 1930s, they have their own charm -- not least in their often-outstanding nibs. Odd and unusual designs also pop up, a selection of which may be seen below. For our full listing of later Watermans, click here. Information on refills for C/F and other older Waterman cartridge-fillers is available here.
