Waterman Ink-Vue 2 "Blue Streak" Fountain Pen - Copper Pearl, Lever
Nib : Fine 14kt, "Keyhole nib"
Waterman, made in USA -- circa 1938.
Length 5 1/8" barrel imprint is crisp and clear.
Condition: The pen is a lever filler which we have restored with a new sac, and tested to ensure that it's working perfectly.
Ink-Vue, the last interation of the model aka the Blue Streak version. These pens are very hard to find in good working condition because they are very hard to restore and easy to break if you don't have experience with the model. The restoration begins with the small stepped end of the barrel being unscrewed to access the sac, and so you find many pens broken at the section area where people assume the pen opens. It's very tricky to install the sac, as it is held in place by an o-ring that is wedged at the base of the sac (a modern alternative to the original flanged bulb sacs.)
