COMMENTS: Waterman 15 PSF (Pocket Self-Filler) fountain pen in Black Chased Hard Rubber with nickel trim. This is an oversized pen, both in terms of diameter and length for vintage standards, from back in the day when dip pens and dip nib holders is what predominated in the market and when most fountain pen bodies were standard, slim or pocket-sized. The Waterman 15 PSF is the predecessor to the more commonly known Waterman 55 model from the 1920s. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal New York #5 Superflex nib that writes a Double Extra Fine to Double Broad line. Ideal nib for Copperplate and Spencerian scripts. This is also an oversized nib, much larger than the more commonly #2 nib in Waterman 52 models. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. The combination of these attributes make this an ultra rare, a highly desirable and a very valuable nib. A significant amount of its value in this offering is attributed to the nib itself. This pen body is in mint condition. It has seen minimal use in its lifetime and it looks it just rolled off the assembly line. Very hard to find pens that are 100+ years old in this condition. The hard rubber color is perfect, full of black luster. Crispy chasing. Perfect barrel imprints. There is a small stress mark in the lever box, otherwise the nickel trim would also be graded as in mint condition. No personalizations or added engravings. This pen measures 5 1/2" long (capped) and 7" long (posted). Lever filler. New sac. Made in the USA in the 1910s.

COMMENTS: Waterman 12 PSF in Black Chased Hard Rubber and nickel trim. Clipped cap. The 12 PSF is the predecessor model to the 52 model.

Professionally smoothed nib, very smooth, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. In my flexibility scale from zero to 100, this nib is graded at 90. Likewise, in my flexibility scale from zero to 10, this nib is graded at 9. Both of these attributes make this an ultra rare, a very desirable and a very valuable flexible nib.

Perfect barrel imprints and perfect nickel trim with no brassing at all. Lever filler pen. New sac. Presentation box and colored paper insert included. Case is in fantastic condition as well.
