Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil
Product Name Red Ripple ... we're not certain which fountain pen went with this pencil, but our best guess is that it is the mate to a ripple 52, 53, or 54 pens which were all more or less the same size.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA, 1920s
Length 5-9/16"
Filling System Takes thick style (1.1mm) leads. Lead extends in the traditional, twist mechenism, but you may have to push it with your finger to make it retract. We'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Mottled red hard rubber in the "Red Ripple" design, with gold plated trim.
Condition Excellent condition. There are light tooth marks on the top piece, along with a couple very light scratches on the cap. There are a few small scratches in the cone and around the tip of the pencil, and some brassing on the trim. There are just some minor spots of brassing on the band, but one large spot on the ball of the clip (see photos).
