Product Description
Type Vacuum Filler Fountain Pen
Product Name Parker Vacumatic Major. This has the wide cap band associated with the Major, but a "split arrow" clip associated with the Junior. We guess they did things differently in Canada!
Manufacturer and Year Parker, Canada -- 1953, the last year that this pen was produced.
Length 5"
Filling System Vacumatic plastic plunger filler is in working condition. We restored the filling system and it works quite well.
Color Laminated Burgundy Pearl body with a gold cap band and black jewel cap. Gold plated clip and trim.
Nib Medium 14k gold nib made in Canada.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a classically-designed pen in a beautiful color with wonderful barrel transparency. The section has some shallow tool marks. The cap and barrel have light scratching. The cap band looks good, just tiny touches of brassing on the edges. The clip looks great, with areas of plating wear on the sides near the lower part. The black top jewel has a small chip at the apex, and there is a small dent in the edge of the clip ring. The imprints are faded but can be made out with magnification.
