Ever since the introduction of lever fillers, the 52 has been for Waterman its most successful model, thanks on the one side to its proper size and balance which make it perfectly suitable for medium and small hands and, on the other side,  for the good price/quality ratio. 

Waterman has developed its lever fillers of the 5X series in a wide range of variations, using colorful ebonite, solid gold, solid silver and gold filled overlays with a number of designs. The range of sizes available has been enlarged with the introduction of "V" models ( shorter than standard) and 1/2 models ( thinner than standard) in order to meet every possible writing need.

This Waterman 0552 1/2 shows an early trefoil overlay, which is the expression of the Art Nouveau style Waterman adopted for its pens. The pen is in superb condition with very minimal traces of use. The cartouche shows two initials.

The pen is fitted with a very pleasant Waterman nr. 2 nib which is smooth and nicely flexible.
