Description from the seller

This is a Waterman Ideal fountain pen, manufactured in the early 20th century (c. 1910–1920). It stands out for its body and cap finished in 18k gold plating with a contrasting seal, lavishly decorated with a delicate Art Nouveau floral engraving.
• Technical details: Dropper-loading system (eyedropper). The body bears authenticity punches and the engraving "Waterman's" that guarantees its origin.
• Nib: Equipped with an original Waterman’s Ideal New York nib in solid 14-karat gold. These nibs are famous for their smoothness and, often, for their flexibility.
• Condition: Excellent state of preservation for its age, with crisp engravings and no deep wear on the metal (brassing).
A highly sophisticated collectible piece, ideal for both use and display in a display case.
Carefully packaged in a generic case with a tracking number and insurance.
