Economic-range celluloid pen. Variants: 32V (vest pocket), 32A (visualized/transparent section, from c. 1937), 32A-V (vest pocket with transparent section), 32B (English production, black with chrome trim). The 32A has a transparent section allowing ink level visibility. USA export variants (32½) also exist.

Waterman’s economic-range celluloid pen, less expensive than the Patrician or 92. Multiple variants: 32V (vest pocket), 32A (with transparent section for ink viewing, from c. 1937), 32B (English production). The 32 vs 92 distinction is primarily nib size (#2 vs #2) and trim level.
