PRICE: SOLD
COMMENTS: Waterman 52 fountain pen in smooth black hard rubber and nickel trim. Clipped cap. Fitted with a 14k Canadian Waterman Ideal #2 Music nib. This is a 3-tine nib, significantly larger than a #2 nib. This nib also happens to be a wet noodle nib. When not flexed, it writes BB lines on the down strokes and fine lines on the side strokes. When flexed, it produces monster BBBB broad lines on the down strokes and fine lines on the side strokes. This nib is a true ink guzzler and it has been professionally installed to keep up with its variable and huge ink demands from writing at different speeds and producing different thickness lines. This nib is also capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. Fairly good black color on its exterior with very minor discoloration. Minor tarnish on its nickel trim. Moderate barrel imprints. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1920s.
