Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Gorgeous 1937 Parker Golden Web Double Jewel Vacumatic Fountain Pen in restored condition made in Canada. 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 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 Two Ring Cap Banding and 14K NIB. Cleaned, Buffed, Polished & Waxed the barrel and 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 cracks or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The barrel has excellent transparency with a person easily seeing through the barrel having only very minor ambering. The cap has the Feather Gold Filled Clip and the double cap bands displaying a wonderful gold filled color. The top and bottom jewels are black and have been polished to shine great again. The barrel is stamped with a fairly clean imprint but light in some areas, "MADE IN CANADA PARKER VACUMATIC PAT NO. 318982 with 7 date code (for 1937) 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 Junior Model that has a wider diameter cap and barrel than the standard juniors. It measures 4 7/8" in length capped and 5 13/16" posted.

The Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 8 to 12 presses and it will fill about 7/8 full. This Vacumatic has the lockdown filling unit, typical on 1st generation Vacumatics. This filling unit has been greased and now operates smoothly and works flawlessly.

Here is the fun part on this Golden Web Vac - the 14K Parker Vacumatic Canadian NIB has a double broad point measuring roughly 1.30mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB is the split arrow 14K Vacumatic that is in excellent condition and creates an extremely smooth writing experience with great flexibility. The writing sample provided in the image has a fine stroke that measures .57mm on the horizontal stroke and will flex to a triple broad stroke of roughly 2.67mm with medium pressure. It does not take much pressure to open up the tines on this nib. The sample was done with the actual pen in the images of this listing. 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 beautiful vintage Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen in the Golden Pearl Celluloid that I would grade it in Excellent+ Condition. The color is gorgeous on this Parker Golden Web but more importantly, the nib is very uncommon with how wonderfully flexible and smoothly it writes. This is collector worthy and it is ready to write or just add to writing arsenal collection.
