WA725 Waterman Ideal Pencil

WA725 Waterman Ideal Pencil

Date: c1930s

Size: Length - 128mm.

A beautiful full-sized Waterman pencil made from a gorgeous green and bronze marbled celluloid.   The pencil is in very good condition; it has no cracks, splits or chips and no noticeable plating wear to any of the trim.  It does have some very minor overall surface wear and some evidence of tooth marks at the crown.  The cap and barrel still have a lovely vibrant green colour and a good original gloss. There is a gold filled pocket clip with two rivets holding it on to the cap at the top and a ball at the bottom.  There is also a gold filled band encircling the middle of the barrel.  The top 30mm of the pencil unscrews to allow storage of spare leads inside the cap and there are several spare 1.18mm leads still in there.   I have installed a fresh lead into the mechanism and it is all ready to go.   The imprint around the back of the cap is rather faint and difficult to read, but is still complete.  This is a propel-repel pencil and the lead is extended by twisting the pointy end of the barrel.

I have fully serviced this pencil and it works with a nice smooth action.

A beautiful pencil with a really great coloured celluloid.
