Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Gorgeous 1937 Parker Jet Black Celluloid Double Jewel Vacumatic Fountain Pen in restored condition. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, 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, 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 superb condition with no chips, 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 - nearly water clear, albeit with minor ambering. The cap has the Feather Gold Filled Clip with triple ring cap bands displaying a wonderful bright gold-filled color with no brassing. The top and bottom jewels are jet black to match the cap, barrel, and section which have been polished. The barrel is stamped with a clean imprint, "GEO S. PARKER PARKER VACUMATIC MADE IN USA with a 7 date code (for 1937) 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 10 to 14 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 as it was originally designed.

The 14K Two-Tone U.S.A. Parker NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .72mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB is the split arrow two-tone 14K Vacumatic type that is in Excellent condition. The writing sample provided in the image has a medium stroke that measures .66mm and can flex to .88mm with normal 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 Montblanc Blue Ink.

If you are looking for a Classic Jet Black Celluloid Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen with excellent transparency that is absolutely beautiful, you won't have to look any further. The restoration turned out gorgeous and I would grade it in Excellent+ Condition. The celluloid is gorgeous and the polished gold-filled trim is exceptionally clean on this Parker. This is collector worthy and is a truly gorgeous Parker Vac from the 1st Generation that is ready to write with or just add to your writing arsenal collection.
