Description

For your consideration we are offering for sale this Gorgeous Restored 1938 Parker Vacumatic Senior Maxima 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. 

The NIB, Feed, Section and Breather Tube have been ultrasonically cleaned. I replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. Hand polished the Gold Filled Arrow Clip, Chevron Cap (///\\\) Banding, 14K Parker NIB, and bottom tassel. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy of fountain pen and to protect the celluloid. This Parker Vacumatic is a Senior Maxima that measures 5 3/8" capped and 6 1/8" posted. 

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs and the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The Emerald Pearl color is simply beautiful with vibrant emerald color. The cap has the Gold Filled Arrow Gold Filled Clip with the Chevron Cap Banding displaying no wear. The top and bottom jewels are striped to match the cap, barrel and blind cap of the fountain pen and have been polished to a high shine. The barrel is stamped with, "GEO. S. PARKER PARKER VACUMATIC with the MADE IN U.S.A. with a date code of 8 (for 1938) in the 4th Quarter". The barrel transparency is water-clear with only light to mild ambering. The blind cap securely fits. The cap and barrel are free of any personalizations or monograms. 

This Parker Maxima Vacumatic retains the correct "Speedline" filling unit that was produced for 2nd Generation Vacumatic and works flawlessly. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The Speedline Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 15-20 presses to fill full. I have greased the filling unit so it operates smoothly. 

This Parker NIB is 14K Gold with an extra-fine point that measures .43mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a extra-fine to medium stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the stroke/line ranges from .42mm to .83mm when measuring with digital calipers. The writing 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. 

This vintage Parker Vacumatic Senior Maxima Fountain Pen is magnificent with color displaying vibrantly. This Emerald Pearl Celluloid really makes a statement and doesn't get much better than this. I would consider this Maxima to be in Excellent Condition and certainly Collector Grade! It is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
