1915 - 1930s
The Waterman's 52 is arguably one of the best-known vintage fountain pens. The number (stamped on the barrel end) of 52 indicates the type of pen 5 = lever self-filler, 2 = Size 2 nib. This example is just about the simplest variant made from black hard rubber with a chasing pattern and without a clip. (The clip was added) The nickel-plated lever has Waterman's globe and IDEAL logo on the round end. The BCHR construction means that it is lightweight (14g filled with ink) so it will not be tiring to use. The chasing and imprint are crisp
