For sale today is a stunning piece that doesn’t show up all that often. A Silver Pearl Vacumatic Desk Set with jaw dropping clarity and a matching striped base. The pen also includes the original box, which has seen better days but is still holding together nicely. The bottom is stamped in gold “Made in U.S.A. Box 501″. This pen was shown to Dr. Isaacson at the 2009 L.A. Pen Show and he believes it to have never been filled and only possibly dipped. This pen has a strong and easy to read imprint which shows it was made in Canada in Q2 of 1937. The two tone 14k nib has all of its plating intact and looks great. The lock down filler operates properly and the diaphragm is still very pliable.
The base is in excellenct condition. The Parker label on the front is slightly scratched and there is a small chip out of one of the bottom corners. The felt on the bottom is well preserved with no tears or missing chunks. The layer of celluloid in the base looks almost more beautiful than it does on the pen.
This is a rare chance to own a very well preserved piece of history. If you want to know what a Vacumatic looked like when it was new, this is probably as close as you’re ever going to get. $695
