Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name Model 55 (this is a good sized pen, verging on the oversized when compared with the standard sized pens of the day).
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in USA -- circa 1925.
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black chased hard rubber (BCHR) cap and barrel with smooth hard rubber feed and section. It has silver colored trim that should be nickel plated but has held up unusually well if so.
Nib FINE flexible Waterman's #5 nib.It's smooth and springy. It writes with very good line variation. See the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. The trim is in incredibly good condition and the imprints are intact. The chasing has almost all been worn away and the pen has been discolored to a nice brown. The change in color is clear when uncapped. No cracks, chips, or personalization. It's fully restored and working well.
