COMMENTS: Waterman 452 pen in smooth black hard rubber with a sterling silver filigree overlay in the basket weave pattern. Fitted with a 14K Waterman Ideal New York #2 wet noodle nib that writes a fine to triple broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. This is a factory original nib, not a modified, altered or retip. In my flexibility scale from zero to 100, this nib is graded at 90. In my responsiveness scale from zero to 10, this nib is graded at 8. Both attributes make this an ultra rare, ultra desirable, and highly valuable flex nib. This pen is in near-mint condition. The sterling silver overlay is in awesome condition. So is the black hard rubber, barrel imprints and threads. Very hard to find these pens that are about 100-year old in this pristine condition. No engravings or personalization on the indicia or anywhere else on the pen. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1920s.

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.
