Greetings. Presenting this lovely restored vintage Waterman 52 in red ripple hard rubber. In my view, these are the quintessential pens from the 1920s. Every collector should have a couple of flexy 52s and 12s, great utilitarian pens with flare. The nib is a flexible stub as you can see in the writing sample; and it is a superb writer.
Cap: Excellent-. Color is bright, brassing seen on the top of the cap band.
Barrel: Very Good. Color is nice, showing a bit of oxidation n...ear the lever. Lever shows some brassing. Imprint is present but weaker.
Nib: Perfect. Beautiful and unique flexible stub.
Pen Length: 136mm.
Pencil: Looks to be near perfect and shiny, though I have not tried loading it.
Enjoy.I've collected restored and sold fountain pens for 30 years, starting when I was 12. May you love your new pen as I have. Please see my other auctions for rare and early examples from Waterman, Conklin, Sheaffer, Wahl and Parker, many with flexible nibs.
