Product Description
| Type | Fountain pen |
| Product Name | Parker Vacumatic fountain pen |
| Manufacturer and Year | Parker, Canada - 1930s (The imprint on the barrel is 26 for the 2nd quarter of 1936, and the number on the nib can't be read.) |
| Length | 4-5/8 inches. This is the smaller of the 3 sizes of vacumatic. |
| Filling System | Vacumatic plunger filling system has been restored here at Peyton Street Pens and is in excellent working condition. The bladder has been replaced and the pen has been tested. |
| Color | Grey marble body with nickel trim-- excellent visibility thru the body, though it has ambered. |
| Nib | 14k fine "Vacumatic" nib. Writes smoothly with a wet line. Lots of tipping material in evidence. It has some flex to it and you get some line variation, so we'll call it semi-flex. (We can't see the nib markings well enoguh to tell if it was also made in Canada.) See writing sample below. |

Condition
|
The pen's body is smooth and largely free from scratches. The imprint is very readable. The clip is good with light brassing, but the plating on the cap bands has mostly worn off. The black jewels are good. |
