Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored 1942 Parker Azure/Blue Pearl Celluloid Fountain Pen in the Major Size. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in superb writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, section, breather tube, and barrel. Replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. I have hand-polished the Gold Filled Blue Diamond Clip, Gold Filled Chevron Cap Banding (///\\\), and 14K NIB. Cleaned, Buffed, and Polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the material of the fountain pen. This Parker Vacumatic is a major size that measures 5 1/8" in length capped and 6" posted.

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 cap has the split arrow gold-filled blue diamond clip and is in perfect condition with no wear. The chevron cap banding is in excellent condition with no wear. The top jewel is black and has been polished to bring back a gorgeous shine. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "GEO. S. PARKER PARKER VACUMATIC MADE IN U.S.A. with date code 2, for 1942, in the 1st quarter". The transparency of the barrel is water clear with very little ambering. The blind cap securely fits. There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel.

The Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 9-12 presses to fill full. I have greased the filling unit so it operates smoothly and now operates flawlessly.

The Parker NIB is a 14K gold Split Arrow NIB with a matching 1942 making it a match to the rest of the pen. The actual writing portion of the 14K Parker NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .62mm when measured with digital calipers and writes smoothly. When writing a sample, this NIB writes with a Medium to Broad line/stroke. The medium stroke measures at .75mm with light pressure and the broad line/stroke measures .95mm when measured with digital calipers under medium to firm pressure. 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.

This is a Vintage Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen that displays a gorgeous vibrant Azure/Blue Pearl color, great barrel clarity, with stunning bright gold-filled trim. I grade this Parker Vac in Excellent Condition. It is ready to write with or just add to your writing arsenal collection.
