The ranks of my Waterman pages have been swollen with a full four new pages! Moving chronologically, there’s the Hundred Year Pen (although not, I’m afraid, with pictures of the popular early form of it), the vexing Dauntless, which I reiterate is not a Stalwart, the new-for-1950 Leader set for kids on their way back to school, and the modern Lauréat. There is also a new inductee into the ranks of Unknown Watermans, which I invite scholarly comment upon.
If you listen closely, you can also hear the hoarse inducements of the carnival barker; there’s a freak show now open in the galleries.
