PEN RESURRECTION SUNDAY Episode #9 - 1940s Waterman Starlet
Channel: Inkquiring Minds
Date: 2022-11-20

Welcome to PEN RESURRECTION SUNDAY Episode #9! Today's vintage resurrection is a 1940s  Waterman Starlet fountain pen. I show how I restored the pen from an old, crusty, non-working pen. I also talk about the pen's history, the parts and features of the pen, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample. 

It's MOVEMBER again! And again, I am shaving off my beard in support of Movember and the charity to support the fight against men's cancer and suicide. I am donating ALL of my "membership" revenue from this channel in the month of November to the charity. You can donate through my "Movember Donation Page" link below. Thank you for your support!
