Article: WATERMAN'S IDEAL fountain pen, olive green/pearl gray striated celluloid, clip and cap ring in silver-colored metal, lever filler side.
Length: 12.5 cm
Diameter: 1.1 cm
Nib: M
Period: 1940s

Condition: Good condition for its age. The celluloid retains its shine and the striated pattern, with signs of use, fine superficial scratches and the natural darkening of the material over the years; the cap shows the engraving "WATERMAN'S" still legible though worn.

Vintage piece not serviced: it is recommended to replace the filling sac before using it with ink.
