I was prowling the 'bay and spotted this. The auction will most likely be over befrore anyone sees this, so I put it in here.
I've not seen a Waterman desk set quite like this before & really wish i had the coin to own it. But I'm broke & even $50 is out of my range right now. I'm sure this will go for a pretty good price. Right now it's at $31. I'm guessing it will break $100 if the right collector sees it. I could be wrong & probably am, but thats just a guess for the base alone w/ no pens.
I've always liked elephant desk sets & love the way this one is set up.
MEASURES 11 1/2" BY 6" AND HAS A GREAT PATINA. VERY HEAVY , THERE IS A BRONZE COLOR SHOWING THRU THE PATINA. ELEPHANT STANDS 3 1/2" HIGH. HE LOOKS GOOD NO CRACKS OR CHIPS WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL SCRATCHES. SIGNED ON THE BOTTOM " WATERMAN'S FOUNTAIN DESK SET PATENTED. MAY BE A DATE BUT IT'S NOT READABLE. NO PENS. JUST A GREAT VINTAGE COLLECTORS PIECE. SHIPPING $18.00
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS SALES TAX 7.75%
Another auction from WESTSHORE
