Description
Waterman 94 Rose Ripple mechanical pencil with 9 CT gold cap band. The Rose Ripple was one of three coloured Ripple models that Waterman introduced to compete with the marbled celluloid pens from the three other major American manufacturers of the time (Parker, Sheaffer and Wahl Eversharp). Waterman quickly made the switch to celluloid when they introduced the Patrician line, combined with the fragility of the coloured Ripples they are far less common today and are prized by collectors. The 94 is the larger of two sizes produced by Waterman, this 94 pencil with 9 CT gold cap band, exported and sold in the UK market. Length 4 15/16” with imprint near top of cap, made in the USA. Overall excellent condition with bright colour throughout.
