The Waterman Citation, launched in the mid 1940s is imediately recognised by the unique extra wide, Gold filled cap band.
The pencil was available as part of a pen/pencil set but the pencil was also sold as a stand alone' item, the lack of a barrel imprint suggests that this pencil may fall into this category.
Finished in deep Burgundy, it is a full sized pencil, with a distinctive 1940s look. In first class, working condition, it has an excellent surface and the Gold filling to the art deco clip and cap band has held up well. The cone may have been plated originally but is now a bright silver colour.
A well engineered and robust pencil, it would make an interesting and attractive note taker.
