I paid 50 cent for it and it was just laying on a table; I thought it was cool.
APPRAISER: How long ago did you pick this up?
GUEST: About seven months ago.
APPRAISER: This is a Waterman.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: Waterman pen, it's made around 1910.
They're one of the most famous pen-producing companies in the world.
They made thousands of different pens.
And what Waterman did was they would number the pens.
And on the bottom of the pen here, there's a number--420.
GUEST: Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
APPRAISER: That represents size of the pen and the number four represents the fact that it's a silver overlay pen.
20 is the largest Waterman pen they ever made.
GUEST: Wow.
That's awesome.
APPRAISER: So it's the largest Waterman pen.
Now if you take the cap off for a minute, you have here, it's a 14 karat gold nib.
GUEST: Oh, now, wow.
APPRAISER: It's a number ten.
And this is a, an eyedropper filled pen.
In other words, they would fill the pen with an eyedropper full of ink.
This one in particular is really rare for the size and the fact that it does have the silver overlay.
Without the silver overlay, at auction, a pen like this would sell somewhere between $1,200 and $1,500.
GUEST: Okay, that's awesome.
APPRAISER: With the silver overlay, it's going to sell, conservative estimate, at $4,000 to $8,000.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: Yeah.
GUEST: That's amazing.
Wow.
That's an amazing find.
Wow.
