Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Gorgeous Restored 1920s Canadian Waterman #52 Red Ripple Hard Rubber Fountain Pen with Rare Canadian Waterman Music Nib. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in wonderful writing condition. 

Ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Hand cleaned the inside of the barrel and cap with mineral oil - the inside of the cap is very clean. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the outside of the cap and barrel. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new silicone sac. Hand polished the 18K Gold Filled Cap Banding, Gold Filled Waterman Clip, Gold Filled Lever Box Assembly along with the Waterman 14K #2 MUSIC NIB.

This fountain pen is made from hard rubber in the Red Ripple pattern. The coloring is gorgeous displaying deep red and black coloring. The lever box assembly is crisp and clean with "IDEAL" on the lever easily seen with the naked eye and no gold fill wear. The Waterman Ideal Clip displays just a touch of wear on the high point of the ball. The gold-filled cap banding is perfect with no wear. All 18K Gold Filled trim has been polished to shine brightly. This Waterman 52 barrel has a clean imprint at the center of the barrel that reads, "PATENTED AUG 9, 1906 WATERMAN'S IDEAL GLOBE LOGO FOUNTAIN PEN CANADA FEB. 9, 1909". The butt end of the fountain pen has a crisp number "52" imprint. The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalization to either the cap or barrel. There are no cracks or repairs to the hard rubber. This Waterman #52 measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 6 5/8" posted.

The lever and box assembly has been cleaned and oiled. I have tested the lever filling systems with water and works flawlessly and as it was originally intended to.

Here is where this pen starts to get very rare and fun - this Waterman has a #2A WATERMAN Made in Canada Music Nib (3 tine nib). The iridium tipping is in excellent condition with the point measuring 1.21mm when measured with digital calipers - a double broad nib point. When writing the sample in the listing images, the NIB writes with an Extra Fine to Quadruple broad stroke/line variation. The extra-fine line measures roughly .40mm with light pressure on the horizontal strokes and the quadruple broad strokes measures at 2.74mm with medium pressure when measured with digital calipers. 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 Ink.

Any specks of white in the images are from the cotton that I used to clean the barrel and cap.

This antique Waterman #52 Red Ripple Hard Rubber Fountain Pen has a this extremely scarce Waterman Music Nib that collectors desire. I would consider the condition of this fountain pen to grade in Excellent condition. This is going to be one of the Waterman Fountain Pens that collectors dream of owning with the rare Music Nib. This Waterman #52 Fountain Pen is in ready to write condition or add it to your writing arsenal collection.
