Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this vibrant 1936 Parker Vacumatic Double Jewel Fountain Pen in the Emerald Pearl Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful writing condition. This is the Early 1st Generation Parker Vacumatic which is difficult to find especially in the Emerald Pearl.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the feed, section, & breather tube. 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 nib. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the cap, barrel, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and 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 great transparency, albeit with mild ambering. The cap has the Feather Gold Plated Clip with triple ring cap bands displaying a wonderful bright gold-filled color. The gold-filled trim displays only very minor wear to the clip and blind cap tassie. The top jewel is striped and the bottom jewel is black and both have been polished to shine great again. The barrel is stamped clearly with an imprint that reads, "GEO S. PARKER PARKER VACUMATIC MADE IN USA with a 6 date code (for 1936) in the 2nd 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 has a wider diameter cap and barrel than the standard juniors from this era. It 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 5 top 8 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.

This Parker Vacumatic Nib writes buttery smooth, a real pleasure to write with. The 14K U.S.A PARKER NIB has a medium point (iridium) that measures roughly .65mm when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample provided in the image has the Nib writing with a fine stroke measuring .53mm and will flex to a double broad stroke of 1.42mm with medium to firm writing 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.

This is a gorgeous Parker 1st Generation Vacumatic Fountain Pen in the Vibrant Emerald Pearl Celluloid. I would grade this Parker Vac to be in Very Fine to Excellent Condition. This Parker Standard 1st Generation Double Jewel Vacumatic is collector grade and is ready to write with or just add to your writing arsenal collection.
