Condition and information:
The Waterman pen company, established in 1884 in New York City by Lewis Edson Waterman, it is one of the few remaining first-generation fountain pen companies, as Waterman S.A. Many vintage pens are still in use today, and their nibs are prized for their smoothness and flexibility.
Waterman Philéas is a series of writing instruments including fountain pens, rollerballs, ballpoints and pencils. It is well-known because of its good price-quality ratio and is therefore often recommended for fountain pen users and collectors. This series is now discontinued, but due to this model popularity, its currently still available on specialized websites. The pen is named after the character Phileas Fogg in Around the World in Eighty Days by the French novelist Jules Verne. This unique design reflects an Art Deco look of the 1930s. There are gold-colored trim rings that separate the black pieces. The nib is stainless steel gold plated, M medium size and is buttery smooth and is decorated with an Art Deco style. The pen is ~20 grams in weight which means it is fairly heavy pen and with thick body and grip diameter. It's nicely balanced, and is exceptionally comfortable with the cap posted or unposted. The writing is smooth, very precisely and there are no hesitation, skipping, and streaking. It takes standard international Waterman cartridges or you can simply refilled it from a bottle of ink with a standard converter which is included. These are some of the most reliable Waterman pens, great everyday users, high quality build and difficult to damage even if dropped. The pen also features a spring loaded clip, where unlike other clips that just bend, this one does not, rather the clip is suspended on a spring inside that cap that allows the clip to move up and down. Mint condition, minimal signs of use. A perfect everyday pen.
