Olive Ripple 94

#94 Olive Ripple - 1928-1930 - This is one of the later hard rubber pens that Waterman made. The colors are unusual and include blue green ripple, rose ripple, and red ripple. There is a smaller model 52V that is found in the same colors as well as. matching pencils and desk pens. The Olive Ripple pens and pencils must have been the first made and Waterman was trying a new numbering system. This pen is marked #994 and the matching pencil is #995. These numbers are later dropped to a simple 94 and 95. All of the other colors are just marked 94 or 95.
