Product Description
Type Vintage pen which works beautifully and has a flexible nib. Hard to find in such good condition.
Product Name Model 0552 with an imprint at the end of the barrel (18K gold filled #52 sized cap and barrel, lever filler, #2 nib -- all correct).
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA - circa 1920s
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Lever filler (We have replaced the bladder and it works very well.)
Color Gold overlay with black smooth hard rubber end piece. The barrel and cap are covered with gold filled plating in a checkerboard called "Gothic" by Waterman.
Nib FULL FLEX MEDIUM-FINE. 14k Ideal nib. Please see writing sample. The nib flexes easily and feels soft with minimal pressure, but you don't get huge line variation -- medium-fine to broad +. Please see writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition with just some light microscratching on the cap and barrel. The very top of the cap has a small dent on the edge. The imprints on the clip and bottom edge of the cap are very clear. The imprints on the hard rubber end of the barrel are mostly readable, definitely present. The pen is personalized, "L. Glickman". This pen writes smoothly with a good amount of flex. The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year.
