Based on capillary action, this innovation ensured a steady ink flow to the nib, preventing leaks and the need for constant dipping. His product, "The Regular," was an immediate success. Initially operating under the "Ideal Pen Company" name, the company was renamed The L.E. Waterman Company four years later. Improvements to basic writing pen design, coupled with bold marketing, were instrumental in making the fountain pen a mainstream product. After Lewis Edson Waterman's death in 1901, the Waterman Company continued to expand. In 1904, the company introduced the "clip-cap" pen, featuring a secure clip for attachment to pockets. The "Safety Pen" in 1907 proved to be reliably leak-proof, and in 1913, the company invented the "lever filler" automatic ink-filling mechanism. In 1927, a French researcher invented a glass ink tube (later patented in 1936), which fundamentally altered the future development of fountain pens. In 1953, Waterman improved the glass ink tube design, ushering in the era of plastic ink cartridges, further enhancing the appeal and usability of fountain pens. ◤ Material: High-grade Resin ◤ Dimensions: Approximately 12 cm in length ◤ Weight: 12 g ◤ Origin: United States ◤ Price: 12,000 ◤ Quantity: One of a kind, in excellent condition ※ These are unused antique items over ten years old.
