Waterman twist-filler: black hard rubber slip-cap, rare and desirable hand-chased high-relief gold filled overlay, 14.25 cm long; #3 Modern New York nib has lost its tipping and has the beginning of a stress hairline extending from the right side of the vent hole.

15836: A. A. Waterman (?) eyedropper-filler: black hard rubber slip-cap with full Art Nouveau fine silver filigree overlay, 13.1 cm long, marked only "30" at the end of the barrel and "STERLING" on the overlay, narrow feed of distinctive inner construction, all suggesting A. A. Waterman manufacture. Initials scratched onto barrel cartouche, pitting at top of cap surely from original manufacturing method of electrodeposition. Nib has a hairline below imprint, but a good writer, boldly calligraphic.

15305: Aikin Lambert dip pen, pencil, and manicure set in box: a most unusual presentation set, all in sterling silver, the three pieces engraved "M.M.", "to", and "Maiza". The reversible dip pen carries a ventless gold #4 Aikin Lambert nib, while the pencil uses .075 inch lead and extends and retracts. Some small dings here and there (see details), faceted colored glass end stones. Pencil is 12 cm long, other two pieces are 9.3 cm long, closed.

14206: Aikin Lambert eyedropper-filler: black hard rubber straight-cap with high relief repoussé gold filled floral pattern overlay; 14.3 cm long, beautiful hand chasing. Unusual #3 Aikin Lambert nib with keyhole vent, normally a feature exclusively found on Parkers of the same era, raising the question whether Aikin was one of Parker's nib suppliers. Nib is cracked down the center, not usable as is; initials engraved in barrel cartouche.

11765: Aikin Lambert eyedropper-filler: black hard rubber taper-cap, 14.1 cm long, gold filled "Chased" pattern barrel overlay, narrow feed, teardrop-vent Aikin Lambert #2 nib flexes enough to give nice shading; cap is sound but mottled from light-fading.
DATE: c. 1910 • CONDITION: fine • NIB: fine semiflex • $450
15078: Aikin Lambert lever-filler: black hard rubber ringtop, full gold filled overlay, 9.5 cm long; unusual and interesting, as this is identical to a Waterman 0552 1/2V Sheraton but for the nib, feed, lever, and complete absence of overlay imprints. In this era Waterman used Aikin Lambert as a sub-brand, often finishing Waterman pens as Aikin Lamberts in order to use up surplus or slightly defective parts. This pen, however, is the first of its kind that we have seen, and appears to be first-quality throughout. The overlay is crisp and unbrassed, but the nib isn't the smoothest, and has a near-invisible hairline at its base.
