Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Gorgeous Restored Parker Silver Pearl Celluloid Fountain Pen & Pencil Set. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful writing condition. This is a stunning set with very clean trim and vibrant coloring.

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 Nickel Blue Diamond Clip, Wide Coin Stack Cap Banding, and 14K 2-Tone NIB. Cleaned, Buffed, and Polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the celluloid of the Fountain Pen & Pencil. This Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen is a Long Major Model that measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 6 3/8" posted. The pencil measures 5 1/8" inches

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, teeth marks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap has the Blue Diamond Nickel Clip with no wear or brassing. The Jeweler's cap band has a coin-stacked design that displays a wonderful shine with no wear or brassing on the fountain pen. The pencil cap banding shows very minor wear. The jewels are black and have been polished to bring back a high shine. The barrel is clearly and crisply stamped with, "Geo. S. Parker Vacumatic Made in U.S.A. with date code 0, for 1940, in the third quarter on the fountain pen - the pen has a 2nd quarter 1940 date code". The transparency of the barrel is fantastic being near water clear with light ambering. The blind cap securely fits. There are no personalizations or monograms to either the barrel or cap.

I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 7 to 10 presses and it will fill full. This filling unit operates smoothly and works flawlessly.

The 14K Parker NIB displays a gorgeous two-tone finish with no wear. The nib has a fine point measuring roughly .51mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample the NIB writes with a fine to medium stroke. In the writing sample provided, the fine line measures at .45mm and the medium line measures at .83mm when measuring 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.

The pencil is in fantastic condition in its own right. It is operational and works as it should.

This is a very desirable and difficult to acquire Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen Set in the Silver Pearl Celluloid due to the Jeweler's coin stack cap banding. The set is in Excellent to Excellent+ Condition. It is collector worthy and would make for a fabulous addition to your writing arsenal collection.
