AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000006360
Article: WATERMAN'S fountain pen in green olive marbled celluloid/pearlized gold, torpedo-shaped body with screw-cap, clip and cap band in silver-colored metal, and side lever filler on the body
Length: 11.6 cm
Diameter: 1.1 cm
Nib: EF (extra fine), in 14 kt gold, engraved "WATERMAN'S IDEAL 14 KT"
Period: Approximately the 1940s-1950s
Materials: Green olive marbled celluloid in tones of olive, gold, and cream with pearlescent veining; nib in 14 kt gold; clip engraved "WATERMANS", cap band and lever in silver-colored metal (palladium/nickel); feed in black ebonite. Filling system: lever filler with internal ink sac.
Condition: Good overall preservation for a vintage piece. The celluloid retains shine and the marbled veining is very striking, with the darkening/ambering typical of time passing in this material. Light signs of wear are present: small superficial scratches and a spot/mark on the cap near the clip, slight loss of plating and oxidation spots at the end of the clip and on the lever, and a light patina on the metal rings. The nib appears intact, aligned, and without deformities; the threads on the body are complete and the cap closes properly. The state of the internal ink sac has not been verified, as is common for pieces of this age.
Complement: Only the loose piece; no box or papers visible in the photos.
