Waterman Ideal Nº 0552½ V (set)

Waterman Ideal Nº 0552½ V

Color: Gold chased
Material: Gold fill over BHR

Filler: Lever
Date c. 1930

Nib: 14K F #2 flex
Working? No

I had to put a quarter in the nib shot, so you can get an idea how impossibly dainty it is! The nib is fairly flexible (though falling well short of what I’d call ‘wet-noodle’) and writes a gorgeous copperplate script, and puts down a nice smooth line without variance as well. Pencil still has lead, and these darlings are in such beautiful shape! With the original blue velvet box, with vintage Waterman’s instructions!
