Hire cost:
Hire the vintage Waterman's 52 for just £7.50 per week!
Description:
The Waterman's 52 is arguably one of the best known vintage fountain pens. It is said that every collector of vintage pens should own an example, so why not try this one before taking the plunge?
The Waterman's 52 was in production from 1915 right into the 1930s. In such a long production life it came in many variants and almost always made from hard rubber. The number (stamped on the barrel end) of 52 indicates the type of pen 5 = lever self filler, 2 = Size 2 nib. The design follows the classic flat top style that most manufacturers in the teens and twenties used. The lever has Waterman's globe and IDEAL logo on the round end.
