Hello all,
As most of you know, I'm strictly an early Parker guy. A friend of a friend sent me a box of pens earlier in the week that he was left by his dad decades ago, a man who owned a stationery store and pen repair business. Most of the stuff was junk, but there's a few interesting pens and pencils I'll be posting over the next week to seek your advice. This is the first one.
Below is a Waterman 45 Safety Pen in BCHR. It's 5-1/4 inches long. The imprints are nice and the mechanism seems to go up and down ok. To the bad, the pen is pretty oxidized and there's a small crack in the cap lip. I've added some photos below.
Can anyone tell me anything about the era is was made and anything else that might be interesting? As I said, I know nothing about this one, so anything you could tell me would be great. Thanks much for the help.
