Product Description
| Type | Vintage fountain pen solid 14k gold filigree, in the "trefoil vine" pattern |
| Product Name | 552 1/2 LEC (According to Waterman's numberbering system, the first 5 stood for the 14k overlay cap and barrel, the second 5 stood for the lever filling system, and the final 2 was for the #2 nib. The 1/2 indicated it was a slender model. LEC means that the lower end of the barrel was also encased in gold.) |

| Condition |
Gorgeous! No dents, dings or scratches. Very light wear. Very good black color to the exposed hard rubber areas. (Note: our photos can sometimes pick up a reflection that looks like a black line, for example in the clip close-up .... but don't worry, those are not cracks or scratches.)
