Waterman 52 Red Ripple Pen & Pencil Set, 1920s, with rare Christmas Box. Excellent condition.

Red ripple hard rubber with gold plated trim. The feed on the fountain pen is also red ripple hard rubber.

Model 52 (marked on the end of the pen barrel).
The pencil takes 1.1mm leads and works via the twist mechanism. It doesn't retract the leads and they must be pushed back in.
