Pen Resurrection Sunday Ep 27 1940s Waterman Stalwart
Channel: Inkquiring Minds
Date: 2023-06-04

Welcome to another Pen Resurrection Sunday Restoration. Today's pen back from the dead is a 1940s Waterman's Stalwart in grey, marbled celluloid. This was a real challenge as the nib was bent and curled and almost a lost cause. I talk about the parts and features of the pen, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample. I show some time-lapse videos of how I restored the pen.
