In the article the writer says:
/and out with them went those distinctive ''tip fill'' two-ounce bottles
of Waterman's ink
that are now collectible antiques sold on eBay./
The only bottles like that I know of are Sheaffer not Waterman. Am I
wrong? Did Waterman
have bottles with the extra little lip?
