This one was fun to make, based on a Waterman style taper cap, with a homemade feed and nice little nib from a Ingersoll dollar pen, they had some nice nibs. The feed design was based on a patent owned by AAWaterman and used around 1903, I think he bought the patent as his name is not as designer. I had tried to make a feed from that design before and it worked well for an early eyedropper.
I'm still working on the lathe skills, but I think the threads are better on this one, and it helped drilling out the section using a center bit.
