Product Name 52
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA – circa mid 1920s.
Length 5-5/16"
Filling System Lever filler. Restored with a new sac.
Color Smooth Cardinal red hard rubber with gold plated trim.
Nib Fine gold Waterman Ideal nib is flexible, not quite full flex. Good line variation from fine to double broad. See writing sample below. Red ebonite feed.
Condition Superior condition. The clip and cap band look really good, no brassing. Underneath the clip there are a couple of small scratches in the surface of the cap; everything else looks great so it was probably caused by someone trying to bend the clip so that it fits more tightly against the cap. There is a very slight color difference where the cap covers the barrel, so there's some fading, but it's REALLY slight. The lever has one tiny spot of plating loss on the side of the tab, but the rest of the lever and lever box look fantastic. No dents or dings. The Waterman imprints are quite clear and readable. The pen is fully restored and working very well.
