What to Look For

Celluloid-era pen using the old numbering system. The '9' tens place theoretically denotes safety mechanism but by this era the number was applied to lever fillers in celluloid.

A moderate-size celluloid pen in beautiful colors — Waterman’s mid-range offering from the celluloid era.1

Colors

The 1933 catalog shows the Ninety-Four in three striking colors:1

  • Grey (chromium mountings) — $5
  • Brown (gold-filled mountings) — $5
  • Blue (chromium mountings) — $5

Matching No. 95 pencils were offered at $3.1

Description
