Product Description
Type Vintage Vacumatic Filling Fountain Pen.
Product Name Vacumatic Sub-Deb (this is the smallest size of vacumatic). This upscale sub-deb differs from standard sub-debs in that the jewels are striped, and it has a Blue Diamond clip.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1939 (the date code is a clear 9 with three dots). The nib is dated 6 so it was probably replaced in 1946.
Length 4-3/4".
Filling System Speedline style Vacumatic filler. We've restored it and it's working very well.
Color Silver Pearl, the plastic barrel is in a pattern of silver-gray rings alternating with clear black rings. It had silver plated trim, striped jewels of the same color as its body on either end, and 3 silver rings on the end of the cap.
Nib Fine Gold Parker Arrow Nib is single-tone. It's lovely, very smooth with excellent tipping and just a hint of springyness.
Condition Excellent condition, though there are a few small light scratches on its cap and barrel, and some light handwear. The plating looks good with some wear on the cap band rings and the barrel jewel. The pen is free of cracks, chips, dings, dents for the most part. The imprint is very clear and, and the pen has poor barrel clarity. The pen is fully restored and working well.
