Just taking a few pictures today, and decided to group some of my more unusual Waterman overlays together. Most of these are pretty hard to find.

From L to R: First four pens are the Oriental pattern either labeled 0512 1/2 PSF or 0552 1/2, 72 Toledo Half Overlay, 0514 Chased Filigree, 14 Silver Filigree over RHR, 412 over RHR, 452 over RHR, 454 Moderne ( called Night and Day by modern collectors).

Third pen from the left was apparently meant to be an eye dropper, and lever slot was cut later. The clip on that one was also added later.

Lovely spread. Oriental pattern does not pop up very often. I've long been fond of the Moderne pattern, though I like mine with a bit more patina ;)

Yeah,  :P  I understand.  I figure you are aware that mine used to have a bit more patina.   :rolleyes:
