Up here is a vintage Waterman’s IDEAL hundred year fountain pen and pencil set, which was manufactured in Canada circa 1940s.

L.E. Waterman adopted the new material for its next-generation top-of-the-line model; and in 1939, introduced Waterman’s Hundred Year Pen, the world’s first Lucite pen. The model eventually returned to celluloid.

And the Waterman’s 100 year pen offered here is a classic example.

The barrel is smooth jet torpedo shape.

The pen is in transparent red, with both ends is red jewels; and both are crystal clear like jewels.

At the back of the cap, the ‘Waterman’s   MADE IN CANADA   HUNDRED YEAR PEN’ with the ‘IDEAL’ globe is embossed.

The Waterman’s ‘HUNDRED YEAR PEN’ signature 14ct solid gold nib is nice condition.

A new sac is fitted, and the lever filling system is in nice condition.

The pen and pencil has been serviced and tested for its full functionality. There are some minor wears due to age.

This Waterman’s is a classic elegance and has been produced to the highest standards of craftsmanship. This would make an excellent gift to treat yourself or for someone special.

The Waterman Pen Company was established in 1883 in New York City by Lewis Waterman. Waterman’s improvement on basic pen design and aggressive marketing played a vital role in making the fountain pen a mass-market object. The essential novelty of Waterman’s first fountain pens was the feed, for which his first pen-related patent was granted in 1884. By 1899, Lewis Waterman opened a factory in Montreal was was offering a variety of designs.

Waterman’s opened subsidiaries in Europe to meet international demand. A Waterman Fountain pen won the Medal of Excellence at the 1900 Paris World Exposition. In 1901, upon Waterman’s death, his nephew took the business overseas and increased sales to 350,000 pens per year.

Waterman’s fountain pen was extremely desirable. The Treaty of Versailles was signed using a solid gold Waterman pen, by Prime Minister David Lloyd George.
