Color Grey swirling finish (Mist was the color name) with a large see through area which gives this pen the name "Ink Vue." Chrome or shiny nickel plated trim. The viewing area has a geometric pattern and a yellow-greenish hue.
Nib FLEXIBLE EXTRA FINE Waterman Ideal nib. Line variation from extra fine to broad. See the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a small uniquely colored vintage set that is unusual and delightful. The trim is in especially good condition for this model, we frequently find it very dull and scratched. The fountain pen features a slightly over 1-1/2" geometrically patterned viewing area that has good transparency. The small remaining area of the barrel has some light scratching. The lever has a bit of plating wear but it is mostly shiny. The mechanical pencil has light to moderate scratching. There are a few long lines that look like scratch lines but they are more likely strings of darker colored material and they are definitely not cracks. The cone has lots of microscratching and a bit of plating wear along the edge at the tip. Both cap bands have a band of plating wear along the middle. The tiny clip has some microscratching and a tiny bit of plating wear on the edge of the end. All imprints are clear. There is even white chalking remaining on the pencil imprint near the top of the cap.
