Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this restored 1936 Parker Vacumatic Double Jewel Vacumatic Fountain Pen in the Burgundy Pearl Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned and put back together and now is in wonderful writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, section, breather tube, and barrel. Replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. Hand polished the Gold Filled Feather Clip, Gold Filled Three Ring Cap Banding, and 14K two-tone NIB. Cleaned, Buffed, Polished & Waxed the cap, barrel, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the celluloid of the fountain pen.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The barrel has transparency with a person able to see through the barrel, albeit with medium to heavy ambering. The cap has the Gold Filled Clip that displays some very minor wear at the top edge of the clip, not significant but I point it out for clarity sake. The triple ring cap bands displaying a wonderful bright gold filled color with no brassing. The top and bottom jewels are striped to match the cap, barrel, and section which have been polished to shine great again. The barrel is stamped with a very light imprint that reads, "GEO S. PARKER PARKER VACUMATIC MADE IN USA PAT with a 6 date code (for 1936) in the 1st quarter". The jeweled blind cap securely fits. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. This Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen is a Standard Size Model that measures 5 1/8" in length capped and 6 1/8" posted.

The Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water in about 9 to 12 presses and it will roughly fill full. This Parker Vac 1st Generation Fountain Pen has the lockdown filling unit, typical on 1st generation Vacs. This filling unit has been greased and now operates smoothly and works as it was originally designed to.

The 14K Two-Tone U.S.A. Parker NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .86mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB is the split arrow two-tone 14K that is in excellent condition with only very minor platinum overlay plating loss. This NIB creates a wonderful buttery smooth writing experience - I cannot emphasize this enough. This Parker Vacumatic writing sample, provided in the image, has a medium stroke that measures .60mm and can flex to a double broad stroke of 1.30mm with medium pressure when measured with digital calipers. The sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue Ink.

Any specks of white in the images are from the cotton that I used to clean the barrel and cap.

This is a lovely vintage Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen in the Burgundy Pearl Celluloid that has all the "high-line" features; 3-Ring Cap Banding, 2-Tone NIB, Striped Section, Striped top and bottom Jewels. I would grade this Parker Vacumatic it in Excellent Condition. The celluloid burgundy pearl color is gorgeous and displays very well. This gorgeous Parker Vac from 1936 is ready to write or just add to writing arsenal collection.
