A. A. Waterman & Co. Gold Filigree Overlay BHR Fountain Pen
This vintage pen has seen regular use and shows noticeable wear throughout, with clear signs of handling and surface wear in the way of small scratches and oxidization (see last image). Despite its age, this vintage pen remains fully operational and continues to deliver exceptional performance. It is equipped with a 14k Fine Arthur Waterman & Co #3 nib, and fills via Eye Dropper. It does not come with a box or papers.
This pen is from the A.A. Waterman & Co. pen company, whose owner, Arthur Allen Waterman, was a former Waterman Pen Company employee, owned by Lewis Edson Waterman. The history between the Waterman Pen Company and the A.A. Waterman & Co. pen company is truly interesting and complex but in short, it involves a dispute between the inventor and owner of the Waterman Pen Company (L.E. Waterman) and a former employee (A.A. Waterman) over the use of company name “Waterman”, highlighting the historical importance of trademark protection.
