Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this restored Circa 1927 Waterman Black Chased Hard Rubber 52V Fountain Pen. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in wonderful writing condition.

This Waterman 52V is made from hard rubber in the Black Chased ebonite or hard rubber. The coloring is consistent throughout the cap and barrel displaying a deep black coloring. The chasing on the cap is crisper than the barrel. The fountain barrel has very good and clean imprints at the center of the barrel that reads, "WATERMAN'S REG US PAT. OFF. FOUNTAIN PEN ". The butt end of the fountain pen has a clean and crisp imprint "52V". The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel. There are no cracks or repairs to the hard rubber. This Waterman 52V measures 4 3/8" in length capped and 5 5/8" posted.

This Waterman 52V has the Nickel Clip and Leverbox. The lever and box assembly are in excellent condition. The Globe and Ideal imprint on the lever is crisp and clean, no brassing, there is some very minor wear on the lever arm. The clip displays no wear. All the trim has been polished to shine brightly. I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Hand cleaned the inside of the barrel and cap. Cleaned and polished the outside of the cap and barrel. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new sac.

The lever and box assembly have been cleaned and oiled. It works flawlessly and smoothly. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills wonderfully.

The NIB is the 14K #2 Waterman Ideal New York Nib. When measuring the actual iridium tip of the NIB, it measures at .55mm when measured with digital calipers, a Fine point. When writing the sample in the listing images, the NIB writes with a Fine line measuring roughly .46mm with very light pressure and flexes up to a Triple Broad stroke of 2.68mm with very firm pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The nib has excellent responsiveness and writes smoothly. The writing sample provided was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue-Black Ink.

This antique Waterman #52V Black Chased Hard Rubber Fountain Pen is becoming increasingly difficult to source in this 52V size. I would grade this fountain pen in Very Fine to Excellent Condition. It is very clean and displays most excellent. This Waterman #52V Fountain Pen is in ready to write condition or add it to your writing arsenal collection.
