 penspotters :: Waterman pens
Waterman's globe trademark was no idle boast; the company enjoyed a very large export trade, and by the 1920s had subsidiaries that made and sold pens in Canada, France, and the U.K. Even in countries where they weren't made (such as Italy), they were often "souped up" with overlays and filigrees by local jewelrs.
Waterman pens were pretty much exclusively hard rubber in those years, but the company augmented the normal solid fls and reds with mottled or woodgrained mixtures of the two, as well as a handful of blue-green- and olive-tinted woodgrained finishes.
Waterman delayed the switch to plastic, declined to offer streamlined pens (until the Hundred Year model), and also was late augmenting its range with junior or senior lines.
