Vintage 1920\'s Waterman 52 1/2 V Fountain Pen - Red Ripple Ring Top VG condition:
$99.03

Antique orange black \"red ripple\" Waterman\'s pen circa 1924? Both the nib and pen are made in Canada.I looked a t a book \"Collectible Fountain Pens\" by Bowen (soft cover 1986) and it indicates the 52 1/2 V was made in the red black ripple in 1924. The double imprinting (on barrel and cap) is not there on this pen-perhaps because it was made in Canada?This 52 1/2 V pen has:still strong Waterman name and Ideal logo with patent dates imprinting on the barrel;clean and full GF trim (decorative cap ring at the bottom of the cap and the attachment ring on the top of the cap as well as the lever);a cap that securely threads onto the barrel;no gouges/cracks;strong colour; andwhat appears to have the original Waterman\'s #2 nib (14K?).
The lever moves freely and there is a bit of a crinkling when moved which i presume means there is an old tried up sac inside.The lever doesn\'t seem to seat flat in the barrel and the wording on the side of the lever (see photos) is partially visible.
I know nothing about nibs and assume this is the pen\'s original nib.Please see the photos.
I understand this is a clipless model.
Please see the photos for condition details.My apologies for the photos as the pen is shown in different shades as I tried to pick up the wording on the nib and lever.The pen is orange black and has great strong colour more in keeping with the first few photos.
I am selling this as unrestored as is.I am not a pen person and have tried to describe this to the best of my knowledge.
I have priced this, I think, to give someone restoring this some room...If you disagree, there is the offer feature ....
I am listing 2 other red ripple Waterman pens shortly.Please check them out.
Combined shipping available.
Thanks for looking.
