Product Description
Type Ring top fountain pen with a flexible nib and decorative sterling silver overlay.
Product Name 452 1/2 V (marked on the end of the barrel).
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA - circa 1920s
Length 3-5/8" not counting ring hardware.
Filling System Lever filler. We've replaced the sac and it's working well.
Color Sterling silver basketweave filigree over black hard rubber.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE Waterman's #2 gold nib. It's in excellent condition with good tipping, feels smooth on paper, and flexes easily from a fine line to a broad or double broad with a little pressure. See writing sample below.
Condition Very nice condition. There is some pitting around the top and on the side of the cap. The cap posts well on the end of the barrel. The hard rubber underneath the filigree is quite nice, and doesn't appear especially discolored. There are consistent marks on the barrel and cap. The lever bar looks fantastic. There are no chips or cracks, and all of the imprints appear to be quite crisp and readable. It's restored and working very well.
