[PRODUCT DETAILS]
- Waterman No.52 fountain pen with chrome trim, manufactured in the 1900s-1910s.
- Similar models are featured in the "Ramblow Book" as being manufactured around 1905.
- Features a beautiful fine nib with fine-tuned sharpening for an excellent writing experience.
- The nib material is in very good condition for its age, with no pitting or porosity, indicating the high quality of materials used at the time, recognized even by Pilot.
- The pen is free from common cracks around the heart-shaped breather hole, and the nib still has plenty of life left for desk use.

[CONDITION]
- The overall appearance shows signs of age, with faded patterns and discoloration of the ebonite. However, there is no plating wear, and the nib and mechanism are in perfect working order.
- Imprints on the barrel and cap are still present.
- While the performance of the feed is not exceptional, it is stable when kept near full and should not leak.
- Tested for leaks on a desk; slight ink stains on the nib are present from testing, but the pen will be thoroughly disassembled and cleaned before shipping.
- The chrome plating is exceptionally thick and lustrous, reminiscent of American car chrome or Leica's shiny chrome, unlike modern decorative plating.
- The ebonite barrel, though aged, retains its luster due to high-quality material.
- "Fountain Pens and Science" notes that Waterman's high-quality ebonite is prone to discoloration.
- This is a prime example of Waterman from the era that Pilot strived to emulate.

[MATERIAL]
- Chrome trim
- High-quality ebonite
