Old Waterman ID needed

[Mr.Rene]

First all, sorry for inaccurate photos...

This is a Canadian Waterman fountain pen, no factory clip on cap, lever filler, chased  design barrel and print says: " PATENTED AUG.9.1906 CANADA FEB.9 1909 IDEAL written INSIDE WORLD GLOBE.

The nib is not the original one, it is a replacement made  by a USA Waterman and no idea if it is the correct piece.

No numbers on cap and a number 0652 on barrel bottom.

What model is it? Which Canadian nib does it fit correctly?  Any help appreciated!

Best Regards.

  I found it in a Waterman 1918 catalog with a clip cap, but those are optional. Lloks like a number 4 nib if this is a match.

Then the model is 0652. I think that a #52 model needs a #2 size nib.

Agree would have has 2 nib (not a 2A ), the 6 refers to the gold bands,  the accommodation clip is not an original waterman, although waterman did make one that one was added. For me if it has a us made waterman 2 it would still be ok ...if can't find a Canada nib, nice pen.

Wheeeee!!! Thank you.

So, my 0554 Gothic could be seven years older than I thought, thinking it 1925 as dated  by a nice poster.

1918.....$12.50 and a whole dollar more (20 beers)  for the clip on the cap. That Iridium came from the Urals was new to me. In I knew of 1-2" deep deposits in Italy and Turkey. And they bragged Urals as harder Iridium. (??)

 

Shaffer invented the lever fountain pen in 1912 if I remember correctly. Waterman improved at least the outside of the lever.

1915 they advertise the locking lever, and a Gothic cost $10.00....as far as I could see, they didn't have the numbers that are on mine...like three years later.

$2.50 was a lot of inflation.
