Length: 115 mm (Cap) / 111 mm (Nib). ABOUT VINTAGE WATERMAN IDEAL. The Waterman Ideal nib is one of the most iconic and historically important nib designs produced by Waterman. The term “Ideal” was introduced by the company in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and became the signature marking found on many of Waterman’s classic fountain pen nibs. During the early development of fountain pens, Waterman sought to create a nib that could deliver consistent ink flow and dependable writing performance. The name “Ideal” represented the company’s vision of producing the perfect writing nib-one that balanced flexibility, durability, and smoothness. As a result, Waterman Ideal nibs quickly gained recognition for their craftsmanship and reliability. Most vintage Waterman Ideal nibs were made from 14K gold, often engraved with the word IDEAL, the gold content, and a size number that indicated the nib’s relative dimensions or the model of pen it was intended for. These nibs were widely used on many of Waterman’s early fountain pens from the 1900s through the 1930s, including lever-fill and eyedropper-filled models that were popular during that era. A distinctive characteristic of many vintage Waterman Ideal nibs is their smooth writing feel with a noticeable degree of natural flexibility. Compared to many modern nibs, these vintage gold nibs can often produce subtle line variation when pressure is applied, making them particularly appreciated by collectors and writers who enjoy expressive handwriting. The Special Iridium 1 Pen nib fitted to this vintage piece reflects the practical craftsmanship of its era. Made from durable steel and tipped with iridium, the nib was designed to withstand regular use while maintaining a smooth and consistent writing surface. The iridium tipping enhances longevity, helping preserve the nib’s shape and performance even after years of writing. Typically firm in character, the Special Iridium 1 nib offers controlled ink flow and a steady line, making it well suited for everyday writing and note-taking. Its straightforward construction emphasizes reliability and function, embodying the honest, workhorse quality often associated with early twentieth-century writing instruments. Today, it adds authentic vintage charm while continuing to provide dependable performance on the page. The Tomeshiki Filler System (or the Ink Stopper Filler System) functions similiarly to a eyedropper, the piston at the back is a mechanism that stops or allows the ink to flow into the nib. It is a old Japanese Filler Mechanism that have been disregarded as time passed for more easier ink access. Even we ourselve have discovered this type of filler found only in Japanese made Vintage pens. To use the pen. Unscrew the grip section to separate it from the barrel. Use an eyedropper to inject ink directly into the barrel. Reattach the grip section securely. Once sealed, turn the piston knob (at the end of the barrel) counterclockwise to open the ink stopper. Hold the pen nib-down to allow ink to flow into the feed. After a few minutes, the pen should begin to write. Turn the piston clockwise again to close the ink stopper. If the ink in the feed runs out, simply repeat step 4 to allow more ink to flow in. The pen is in overall great condition, with no dents or cracks. However the pen`s Urushi have developed a beautiful hue due to patina but otherwise are still in beautiful condition. The nib is in good condition very smooth on the paper and quite good ink flow.
