Product Description
Type Vintage pen which works beautifully. This version of the 52 was a ladies pen with a gold filled barrel and cap, floral engraved pattern.
Product Name Model 0552 1/2 V (gold filled cap and barrel, lever filler, slender, ladies ring top)
Manufacturer and Year Waterman - circa 1920s
Length 3-5/8"
Filling System Lever filler (We have restored the bladder and it works very well.)
Color Black smooth hard rubber fountain pen section, otherwise all gold filled. The barrel and cap are covered with smooth and shiny gold plating which has a floral (pansy?) design.
Nib The nib is marked Waterman Ideal. The range is XF to broad. It has a good amount of flex, but not super flex or a not a wet noodle. This is one we consider full flex.
Condition Superior condition. No cracks or chips or dents. No brassing. A few tiny marks, but otherwise superior condition overall. There's a little wear on the end of the barrel caused by posting the cap.
Engraved with three initials - ENC (though it is a little hard to decipher)
This pen writes very smoothly with a good amount of flex. The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year.
