Just finished cleaning up my latest addition from eBay, a circa-1920 Waterman's Ideal 452 1/2V.
Hard black rubber with a sterling silver overlay. It has a fine nib with a little flex and a nice bit of bounce. It's a miniature pen at just under 4 inches long, but feels nicely balanced when posted and is a lovely writer.
I've replaced the ink sac and given it a good clean and polish, but it's in great condition and didn't need much more than that.
Suggestions for inks are very welcome!
Morning! Still getting to grips with the shift to Lemmy from Reddit but a week in I'm feeling much more at home. It took a while to find an app that felt like a good fit, but WefWef seems to be fitting the bill very nicely.
This morning is recovery after pizza and 80s movie night with friends.
