COMMENTS: Waterman 452 1/2 LEC in smooth black hard rubber with sterling silver filigree overlay. Slim profile pen body. LEC stands for "lower end covered", meaning the end of the barrel is also part of the sterling overlay. Clipped cap. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal #2 superflex nib that writes a triple extra fine double broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, capable of ultra thin lines, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. This in an ideal nib for Copperplate and Spencerian scripts, making it a very rare, desirable, and valuable vintage flexible nib. Being lenient by grading it in excellent condition instead of near mint. Great barrel imprints. The gold overlay is in awesome condition with very minor blemished. The end of the barrel is only marked 452 1/2 due to the fact there was not enough room to add the LEC imprint on such a small area. This is fairly typical in these vintage Waterman pens with overlays. Lever filler. New sac. Made in the USA in the 1920s.

COMMENTS: Waterman 12 PSF pen in black chased hard rubber and nickel trim. Clipped cap. The 12 PSF is the predecessor model to the iconic Waterman 52 manufactured almost a decade later.

When flexed, this nib produces BBB/BBBB lines in the down strokes and fine horizontal lines. Professionally adjusted nib, smooth and capable of writing at any speed when not flex. This is a very early produced nib with different font in the nib imprint. The color is graded as very good due to some discoloration in the black hard rubber. The nib is also made as in very good condition due to some scratches on its upper area closer to the tines. Trim is in great condition with no brassing. Threads are also in fantastic condition. Lever filler. New sac. Made in Canada in the 1910s.
