Question(s) re: Waterman Man 100 Michelin Fountain Pen?

19 July 2014 - 07:01 PM

Hello, I recently picked up a modern Waterman pen I had never seen before.  I've found images of the pen on a few websites and it is known as a Waterman Man 100 Michelin Fountain pen.  It is clipless, has 3 gold pens  (2 around the barrel and one around the cap).  The top of the cap is engraved/etched with the Michelin man logo and the cap band is marked 1898 - 1998 to  commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Michelin company.

 

I save my retail pen catalogues going back to 1995 for reference and can not find the pen in any of those. I can find a few images of the pen by Googling the name but not a lot of information about the pen.  Does anyone know more about this pen?  For instance was it a limited edition, made in 1998?,  how long in production, made just for Michelin or sold retail, sold in France only? 

 

I'm interested in learning more about this pen so any information would be appreciated. 

 

Regards

 

Jim
