Might as well melt the one I have for sale on e-bay for scrap judging by the amount of interest shown.

It is a pen that i am very unlikely to ever use again as I find the grip too thin and it is pointless keeping it.

Sterling Waterman probably has < $10 in metal. Shame to melt it.

The pen does have some wear issues. I think your best bet is a reasonable starting bid price and no reserve. I would expect it to sell in the $100-150 range. If the pen was clean and original it would bring double.

It will have wear - the damn thing has been used for most of its so far 85 year existence. It is original down to the NY#2 manifold nib except for a not too brilliantly applied replacement clip. Whether it sees many more hours is a matter for debate at this point in time.

I think most of us would like to see a picture.  If you can't post a link and it's on eBay, please give us the sale number.

When pasting a link I go to the e-bay page and copy the contents of the top address bar and then just copy it into the message Madryn
