The Waterman 1920s Ink Bottle Vintage Globe Self Filling Ink Well is a rare find from the United States, made of glass in a unique vintage style. This collectible item is a 5th update version, adding to its rarity and appeal to collectors of pens and writing instruments. Perfect for those who appreciate vintage artifacts and historical writing tools, this self-filling ink well is a one-of-a-kind piece that would make a valuable addition to any collection.

The fifth version of the bottle is a totally new design, mid-to-late-1920s, possibly into the 1930s.  It is essentially the second style of bottle because it is so radically different from the other four in that it is truly globe-shaped.  The other ones were all cone-shaped, and just had different caps and threads.  The fifth one makes its first appearance in the 1925 brochure titled Wherever a pen or pencil is used, where it is described as, “Waterman’s new desk style bottle for self-filling pens.…Note the extra deep ‘well’ extending to the bottom of [the] bottle–assuring easy access to the very last drop of ink”.  It has the same bakelite cap, and the same shallow threads, but a new globe shape with a column-tip that extends into the footed base, much like a little tube stem.  There is no “New York” embossed on the shoulder, and only “Waterman’s Ink” on the shoulder opposite the single-globe label.  The phrase “This container made in U.S.A.” is on the bottom
