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. PSF stands for Personal Self-Filler pen, alluding to the fact it is not an eyedropper pen, filling mechanism which predominated in the early 1910s. Fitted with its correct 14k Waterman Ideal New York #2 wet noodle nib that writes a Medium to Triple Broad line. 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. This pen is in Mint condition. It shows very little signs of use. Perfect black rubber color with lots of black luster. Crisp chasing on the hard rubber. 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. Made in USA in the 1910s.

COMMENTS: Waterman 52 pen set in black chased hard rubber and nickel trim. This pen set is comprised of the fountain pen, mechanical pencil, and presentation box. Fitted with a Canadian 14k Waterman Ideal #2 superflex nib that writes a medium to double broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. This pen set in mint condition. It appears like it has been sitting unused in a safe for almost a century. Perfect black hard rubber with full black luster. Perfect chasing. Perfect barrel imprints. Perfect threads. Ultra clean nickel trim. A couple of small pricks on the fat end of the barrel. Both barrels have been professionally engraved with the "Bryan Cooney" name. Finding pens that are about 100 years old in this condition is virtually impossible nowadays. The mechanical pencil uses the twist mechanism, it is fully operational and in mint condition as well. Presentation box is the hard-shell type with faux leather in burgundy color and a cream color liner inside the box. The presentation box is in near-mint condition as well. Lever filler. Has been fully serviced and a new rubber sac has been installed. The sac that came with it was decayed, but there were no signs of ink inside that pen, which leads me to believe it has perhaps not been used in its lifetime. Tested with water. Hence the reason there is not a writing sample. Made in Canada in the 1920s.

COMMENTS: Waterman 52V fountain pen in black chased hard rubber and nickel trim. Fitted with a 14K Waterman Ideal #2 wet noodle nib that writes a double extra fine to double broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing at any time when not flexed. This nib is capable of producing some very thin lines and it ideal for Copperplate and Spencerian script. What makes it rarer and much more valuable is not only its ultra thin line capability, but also its massive flexibility and the fact it is a very smooth writer. Nice trifecta of flex attributes whcih are not easily found in most vintage flexible nibs. Very clean black hard rubber color with great chasing. Great barrel imprints. The nickel trim has very minor brassing and patina. Otherwise, this is a very clean pen. Pen measures 4 1/4" long (capped) and 5 1/4" long (posted). This pen was designed and manufactured to be used as a posted pen. When posted, it becomes a full sized pen and offers perfect balance on the hand. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1920s.
