Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen in working condition, lever filler.
Product Name Lady Patricia Ink Vue
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA, introduced in 1936.
Length Small size -- 4-1/4"
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored the filling system, and it's working well.
Color Grey swirling finish (Mist was the color name) with a large see through area which gives this pen the name "Ink Vue." Chrome or shiny nickel plated trim.
Nib FLEX FINE Waterman Ideal #2 nib. It's got decent tipping material and feels smooth to write with. Line variation from extra fine to broadf. See the writing sample below.
Condition Very nice condition. As is common in these pens, the ink vue window is fairly discolored to a sort of amber color (see photos). The barrel and cap are both scratched, but don't have any really deep scratches, and no cracks or chips. The plating looks better than we usually see with minimal wear. It's working very well after restoration, and the imprint is very clear.
