Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored 1946 Parker Vacumatic Jet Black Fountain Pen fitted with a 14K medium nib. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in great writing condition. 

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, section, and breather tube. Replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. I hand-polished the gold-filled Parker Clip, Double Ring Cap Banding, and 14K Split Arrow NIB. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the celluloid of the fountain pen. 

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. The cap has a gold-filled split Arrow clip that displays a bright gold finish. The double-ring cap banding displays a wonderful bright finish with no wear. The top jewel is black and polished to a high shine. The blind cap securely fits flush to the barrel. The barrel is stamped with, "GEO. S. PARKER PARKER VACUMATIC MADE IN U.S.A. with a date code of 6 (for 1946 ) in the 3rd quarter". The transparency of the barrel is Water Clear - it is extremely hard to find a Vac barrel in this type of condition which is mint. There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel. This Parker Vacumatic is a major length (but known as a Junior due to the 2-Ring Cap Banding, slightly smaller nib, & no blue diamond clip) that measures 5 1/8" in length capped and 6" posted. 

The Vacumatic Filling System works great, typically in my tests with water about 10-13 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 Medium Point NIB with a matching date code of 6 for 1946 in the 3rd Quarter and has a medium point measuring roughly .65mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample, this NIB writes with a fine to medium line variation. The line/stroke measures between .47mm with light pressure and will flex to .79mm with firm pressure when measured 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 Parker Blue Ink.

This is a Vintage Parker Vacumatic Fountain Pen that displays in near-perfect condition with a highly visulated/water-clear barrel. I grade this Parker Vac in Near Mint Condition. This Vacumatic is a collector-grade type but is ready to write with if you choose to do so.
