Description;

This is an excellent example of this rare and early Watermans Ideal No.12 1/2V eyedropper. This is one of the hard-to-find models in Black Hard Rubber with a sterling silver overlay in the Hand Engraved Vine pattern.

The pen is in excellent condition with only light marks and scratches commensurate with use. The cap lip is marked "Watermans Ideal fountain Pen".

The model number on the hard rubber at the end of the barrel is clear and is marked "12 1/2 V" with the V representing the Vest Pocket model and the 1/2 meaning the shorter version.

There are no personalised engravings. The Hand Engraved Vine finish is much less common than the other finishes available on this pen.

It has been fully restored and now works perfectly. It is an eyedropper and is fitted with an amazing Fine Semi Flexible nib which writes beautifully.

This is a lovely rare pen in excellent condition.
