There's not a lot to say about this
pen that isn't said under the heading of the 52. The main difference between
this pen and the other is the size of the point, and thus the size of
the whole pen; the 55 is less common, and thus not so frequently spoken
of. It may not look much different from the 52, but it's a
monster-- I can only imagine what kind of titan the 58 must be.
Specifications: Fine 14K
"Manifold" point (which means very firm
indeed-- it was designed
to go through carbons).
Lever filler. 14.0 cm long capped, 17.6 cm posted.
Condition: Body impressions very shallow, and there's the
bare beginning of oxidation of the rubber-- it's very dark brown rather
than black, but quite shiny. All the trim is in excellent shape,
but the clip has been lost.
Repairs: Rather than replace the sac (which was the expected
need, but which was clearly newer and blameless), I remounted the
pressure bar which has dropped off it's hanger on the end of the lever.
There was some tarnish on the band which polished away nicely.
Location: Miami, Florida.
