I picked up this little brochure in a used book store in Ashland, Oregon a couple of weeks ago. They had a lot of ephemera, but this was the only pen-related item. For $5, it needed to be saved from obscurity and brought back to the hobby.

 

I don't know the age of this because I know nothing about Waterman. Hopefully there's someone on the board who can help. It's unfortunate that someone cut out the little section that probably contained the name/address of the dealer, as it affects the description of the pens on the other side. But it's still pretty cool.

 

Thanks for letting me know anything you might on the brochure.

Not on my computer.

 

Edited:  So it appears using my normal browser (Firefox), the picture doesn't show up.  However, I tried using Explorer and there it is.  Guess there is some problem with my version of Firefox, or my settings for it.

 

Odd that I don't seem to have any problem with other pictures on FPnuts.

Actually, there are some features that don't work properly on the site if using Explorer 11. I wasn't able to copy in the link for the photos. I ended up having to use FireFox for that.

 

Seems that website developers haven't gotten their acts together with support for all the popular browsers. I run into this on other sites as well, where some stuff works with Explorer but not with FireFox, and vice versa.

Yep, disabling adblock does the trick on firefox.  Thanks, sloegin!
