I was looking through old Waterman advertisements, and I found an early Waterman safety ad with a "Cardinal" rubber option. Has anyone ever seen a Waterman cardinal safety pen before? I've seen a Waterman 442 overlay over cardinal, but don't seem to recall a plain cardinal safety.

Regards,
George

They are rare pens, in any size.
I've had several over the years, have kept a few but no photos handy.

That's a while back!

Here's an old picture of safety goodness.

Nice pic.

Though, come to think of it, any prior occurrence is a while back. Just one of those things... ;)

Ahh, I see. Probably why the Vulcans often had trouble with English...
