This Q4 1942 Junior Vacumatic has a slight variation of the Jeweler’s Band commonly known as the ‘stacked coin’ capband. This capband was also used on other Junior sized pens such as the Shadow Wave and Vacufold in 1942. Pens with these capbands were not advertised in Parker catalogs and were only available through jewerley stores which makes them less common than your standard Junior Vac. This pen is in excellent condition with wonderful clarity and a crisp barrel imprint. I have restored it so it works like new. The moderate flow of the smooth, fine nib provides a satisfying writing experience.  $165

Q1 1948 India Black Vac. This pen has been restored which means the diaphragm has been replaced, the gold hardware has been cleaned to bring back its’ original luster, and the entire pen has been polished. Meticulous care has been taken to make sure the blind cap is properly aligned with the barrel to create a smooth, seamless transition. The first line of the imprint under the clutch ring is barely readable but the second line and date code are very easy to read. The clutch ring has 3 small spots where pitting has occured. The clip is in good condition with some brassing along the edge between the arrowhead and feathers. The cap is in very good condition with no dents or dings and only small surface scratches. The XF/F nib writes nicely unlike many of the finer nib points that tend to be scratchy and unpleasant. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. $100

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
