Vaitermass-Michele D'Ascia (Italy)

This Italian House located at Corso Umberto I n°35 in Naples is an example of the imitative craze of Waterman pens with Overlay feathers that were manufactured in Milan.

The phenomenon of imitations forced Waterman representatives to come up with the idea of placing logos in different parts of the pen to warn the unwary, or to prevent people from believing they were buying a Waterman when it was something else.
