Product Description
Type | Vintage pen which works beautifully and has a flexible nib. This version of the 52 pen had a sterling filigree barrel and cap. |
Product Name | Model 452 1/2 (the 1/2 indicates it's the slender version of the full length 452 pen) |
Manufacturer and Year | Waterman - circa 1920s |
Length | 5-1/4" |
Filling System | Lever filler (We have replaced the bladder and it works very well.) |
Color | The barrel and cap are covered with a cut out sterling filigree design which has been etched. |
Nib | The nib is marked Waterman Reg US Pat Off 2. It is fine, and very flexible. We consider this full flex, not quite a wet noodle. Line variation from extra fine to broad plus. See writing sample below. |
Condition
|
Excellent condition, quite beautiful. No cracks or chips. The clip is excellent with no wiggle. The imprints in the sterling are good and readable. There are a few nicks on the end the barrel. This sterling really holds up well over the years. This pen writes very smoothly. The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year. |
