[WTS][US50] Restored Waterman Starlet, Gold/Brown Striated Color, 14k Semi Flex Nib
$65
Hey all,
This pen has passed testing and is ready for purchase. This listing is for a Waterman Starlet from the 1940's in the Gold/Brown striated colorway with a 14k gold fine semi-flex nib. Overall the pen is a looker after it was polished, it really made the pattern catch the light well. Notes of condition are the cap, the cap has a crack caused by age and the clip. It has been photo'd so please look it over well. Its been confirmed to just be cosmetic and the inner cap still creates a good seal. The pen has sat for 48 hours unused and it immediately started writing when tested. The Starlet is a smaller version of the Stalwart but not too uncomfortable to large hands like mine. This one has what I call the semi-taperite section in that the section curves inward towards the nib similar to the taperite model but this one still allows for a standard non-hooded nib. It gives it a cool flair but you still get the nice standard Waterman nib. Here are more details about the pen:

The body is in good shape with only faint marks were the cap touches the body and bite marks on the end of the body. The section is what I call semi-taperite, it curves down like a taperite section but still has an open nib. The nib is clean and spotless with a nice shine.
