COMMENTS: Waterman 12 POC eyedropper pen in chased black hard rubber and nickel trim. Clipped cap. Full sized pen.

Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal #2 wet noodle BB Sub nib. Professionally adjusted nib. Ultra smooth and capable of writing at any speed not flexed. When not flexed, this nib produces BB lines in the down strokes and a fine line in the side strokes. When flexed, this nib produces BBB lines in the down strokes and fine lines in the side strokes. This is a factory original nib, not a modified or re-tipped nib. This pen is in awesome condition. It looks like it has seen very little use in its lifetime. Perfect chasing. Very lustrous black rubber. Perfect barrel imprints. If it were not for very minor pitting on the clip, it would be graded as in Mint condition. Eyedropper filler. Fully serviced. Made in USA in the 1910s.

PRICE: $540
COMMENTS: Waterman 54 fountain pen in black chased hard rubber and nickel trim. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal #2 superflex nib that writes a triple extra fine to broad line. This is a "professional nib", which means it is not your every day ultra smooth flex writing nib. It requires a very well trained hand that is light, smooth, delicate and can make consistent strokes with this nib in order not to damage it. Please do not underestimate the degree of complexity and dexterity required to use a professional nib. All it takes is one or a few strokes and this very rare and valuable nib is completely destroyed. This nib is also capable of producing the thinnest possible lines with a flex nib in a fountain pen. Most of the value in this pen offering is associated with the nib. The pen body has some flaws: The nib is a #2 nib even though the correct nib size for this pen model is a #4. The cap has an after marker accommodation clip. Chase on the hard rubber and barrel imprints are faint. Pen is fully operational and has been 100% serviced. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1920s.

COMMENTS: Waterman 0752 1/2 pen in black chased hard rubber and gold trim. Wide gold band on the barrel. Clipless cap (from the factory). This is a slightly different variation of the iconic Waterman 52. Its main difference to a Waterman 52 is that is comes with a wide gold band in the barrel (hence the 07 prefix in its model number), and that it has the slim profile (hence the 1/2 in its model number). Fitted with a Canadian 14k Waterman Ideal #2 medium flex nib (border line with a superflex) that writes a fine to double broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. Exterior of the pen has some discoloration. Wide gold band on the barrel has been professionally monogrammed with the "F.F.M." initials. Some tarnish on the lever. Otherwise, this is a very clean pen. Lever filler. New sac. Made in Canada in the 1920s.
