Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen, working beautifully.
Product Name Model 552 1/2, marked on the end of the barrel. This is a version of the model 52 in a solid gold overlay and slender barrel.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA - circa 1920s
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Lever filler (We've replaced the bladder and it's working very well.)
Color 14k solid gold overlay. Smooth, no patterning. The section is black hard rubber.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE. The nib is marked Waterman's Reg US Pat Off 2. Flexible nib writes from fine to a double broad. Very close to what we would call full flex, but everyone has their own ideas of terms for flex, so please refer to this pen's writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. A couple of shallow dings on the cap. Barrel is personalized with "Dr. Wm. F. Sirovich, Pres. By Brodyer Relief, Mar. 1925". (We're not 100% sure about that surname...). Most of the surface is fairly smooth and shiny, with no major scratches.
