this pen is unrestored, as found.
This means the pen has not been tested or opened. It may be working, but assume it needs a full restoration. As it has not been opened, we cannot guarantee that all parts inside are present or not corroded.The crisp stamp confirms this is explicitly a Waterman's 0552 ½ V fountain pen.
The model numbering system from the 1920s tells us the entire history of how this pen was manufactured:
• 0: Stamped at the beginning, this denotes that the pen features a gold-filled overlay covering the black hard rubber body.
• 5: This digit indicates it is a lever-filling mechanism.
• 5: This number represents the size of the internal assembly and nib (a number 2 size assembly).
• 2: The last digit indicates it has a straight cap design.
• ½: This fraction stands for a slender barrel diameter.
• V: The "V" stands for Vest pocket (short length, ring top).
