Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen with a flexible nib.
Product Name Model 92V (the small size ladies version of the 92).
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in USA - circa 1930s.
Length 4-1/4"
Filling System Lever filler (We have replaced the bladder and it works very well.)
Color Green marble marble celluloid (plastic) with flecks of red. Gold plated trim with a groove instead of a cap band.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE gold Waterman's Ideal nib with a heart-shaped cutout. The tip looks like an extra fine, but it writes more like a fine. It's fairly smooth with lovely tipping. Nice flex, a little less than what we would call full flex with easy line variation from a thin fine to a nice large broad, and double broad with just a tiny bit of pressure. See writing sample below.
Condition Very nice condition. Missing cap band. There are a few cracks in the celluloid around mid-cap. These cracks do not go all the way through, so they are merely a cosmetic issue. There's some lesser scratching on the cap and barrel and some small marks of plating wear and brassing here and there on the trim. No cracks in the cap lip or barrel threads, no chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The color is great, the imprint is clear, and it's fully restored and working well.
