PRICE: SOLD
COMMENTS: Waterman 12 eyedropper in smooth Black Hard Rubber. Clipped and slip-on cap. Fitted with a 14K Waterman Ideal New York #2 wet noodle nib that writes a triple extra fine to quadruple broad line. Yes, it goes from XXXF to BBBB (3.5mm wide) and it is as responsive as a flexible nib can be ... the highest snap-back possible in a nib. This is a professionaly nib, requiring a lot of flex writing capabilities to handle this nib due to its extremely thin and flexible tines. This is not your regular daily writing flexible nib. One or a few bad strokes can damage this nib beyond repair. This nib is capable of making the thinnest and thickest line contrast possible with any fountain pen nib I have ever seen or I have ever owned. The best description for this nib is: It will turn laps to any Pink nib out there ... that simple! Ideal nib for professional calligraphers, artists or those skilled flexy writers with a very light and steady hand (not mine!!!). Pen exterior has been reblackened, clip has some brassing, and section has some plyer marks. Otherwise, this is a farily clean pen with an unbelievable nib. Eyedropper. Made in USA circa 1910.
