Description

For your consideration we are offering for sale this Fabulous Restored Circa 1939 Parker Vacumatic Senior Maxima Double Jewel Fountain Pen in the Golden Pearl Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in excellent 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 Blue Diamond Split 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 Golden Pearl color is simply beautiful with vibrant Golden Peal color. The cap has the Blue Diamond Split Arrow Gold Filled Clip with the Chevron Cap Banding displaying no brassing. 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, albeit light in a couple of areas, with, "MADE IN CANADA PARKER VACUMATIC REG. T.M.S. PAT. NO.318982 with date code 9 (for 1939) in the Third Quarter". The barrel transparency is fantastic, a person can easily see through the barrel, albeit with mild/medium 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 14-16 presses to fill nearly full. I have greased the filling unit so it operates smoothly.

This Parker Vacumatic NIB is 14K Gold with a medium point that measures .70mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a fine to medium stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the stroke/line ranges from .45mm to .80mm with firm pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the image Montblanc Blue Ink.

This Parker Golden Pearl Senior Maxima Fountain Pen color doesn't get much better. This Parker Vac Maxima has all the high-line features - the celluloid is vibrant and looks incredible, has the striped jewels, and striped section. I would consider this Maxima to be in Excellent. It is ready to write or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
