Vintage Waterman 52 Fountain Pen. Working (New Ink Sac) Pen. VERY Nice Nib – BCHR :. Please enlarge all 12 photos & read all the text for detail. Working vintage (Classic that is ready to write) 1920s pen (approx 92 years old) Very sturdy & Very Clean condition – problem is minor fade on the barrel the pen is very dark/blackish hard rubber, with a’tan line’ from the cap – and the CAP DOES NOT POST (the cap will not stay on the back end of the pen) It is and original 1920s Waterman cap, but it is not original to this pen – But it does thread on and cap very well- In fact the cap looks near mint. FULL SIZE PEN – a very usable a Writing Tool , It is ready to fill with ink & write :- crack & warp free & a very sturdy pen with a very nice nib :- – no personal names, The lever works very well with the brand new quality ink sac that was just installed , the feed was ultrasonically cleaned – Good ink flow , Very nice writer. The Pocket clip is perfect & tightly riveted from the factory – & very functional. Nice Gold filled Trim, some age to the trim, but no obvious brassing, there is a THREE LETTER ENGRAVING on the top band, see photo #7. The factory imprints are clear, the “52” can clearly be seen on the end of the pen – the pen has no warp, no cracks. Very nice IDEAL #2 Nib , 14K , (PLEASE SEE THE NIB PHOTOS) the tip is a Fine point, or even finer with a light hand. The point has a little feedback (like a well sharpened pencil), but quite nice for such a fine point, with Excellent Iridium tipping (See photo) , nice line variation, Flexing x fine to 1.5 mm possible but I would stay at 1.3mm or below for nib longevity, you will still have control for every day fine point writing with a light hand, When you want some line variation, it goes from a Very fine point to a wider line as shown with easy to medium pressure, it has a nice easy soft feel. It will provide excellent line variation & expression. Great for everyday writing (with expression), for doodling , sketching , or every day note taking and/or expressive letter writing :- copperplate / Spencerian. The writing sample was made by actually filling the pen with ink & writing with it, The writing sample will come with the pen, The Paper is from a Rhodia Dotpad No. 16, the dots are 5mm apart to help you gauge the line variation. The inks are Waterman South Sea Blue , and Diamine Monaco Red. The pen is 5 & 3/8 capped. Full size pen – Made in U. As marked on the Barrel. I HAVE OTHER PENS LISTED.
