Description

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

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, section, breather tube, cap and barrel. Replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. Hand polished the Gold Filled Blue Diamond Clip, Coin Stack Cap Band and 14K NIB. Buffed and Polished the barrel and cap to bring back the vibrancy of fountain pen. This Parker Vacumatic is a major which 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. The cap has the split arrow gold filled Blue Diamond clip and the Coin Stack Cap Band that displays a rich gold filled color with no brassing. The top jewel is black and looks great. The barrel is clearly and crisply stamped with, "Geo. S. Parker Vacumatic Made in U.S.A. with date code 2 in the fourth quarter". The transparency of the barrel is "Water Clear", looks fantastic and a person can easily see through the barrel. The blind cap securely fits. The Speedline Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 4-6 presses to fill 7/8 full.

The Parker NIB is a 14K gold split arrow NIB. The iridium is great and creates a smooth writing experience. The 14K Parker NIB has a fine point measuring roughly .48mm, measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample the NIB writes with a fine to a double broad stroke line, which is very smooth. The writing sample provided, the thinnest line measures at .48mm and the double broad line measured with digital calipers is 1.71mm with medium pressure. The sample was done with the actual pen in the images that is listed for sale. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Black Ink.

Any specks of white in the images are from the cotton that I used to clean the barrel and cap.

This is a beautiful vintage Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen in the Golden Pearl Celluloid that is in Excellent to Near Mint Condition. It is ready to write or just add to writing arsenal collection.
