Waterman’s 0552
1920s-1930s
About This Pen
This pen is a full-size 52 with a full-length covering gold overlay, which makes it a 0552. It’s also curious, because unlike almost every other Waterman’s of the 1920s-1930s I’ve seen, there is no model number engraved in the base of the barrel! The gold, in the frequently seen Pansy pattern, is in very good condition. There is a very little bit of plating loss at the bottom cap edge. The black hard rubber, where it is visible, is black, largely without discoloration, and unscratched. The Waterman’s imprint in the base of the barrel is deep and fully legible. The nib writes a beautiful medium to broad flex; it has support, is not a “wet noodle”.
