Product Name Vacumatic Major Mechanical Pencil.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1937 (the date code is a clear 47).
Length 5-1/8".
Filling System This pencil takes 1.1mm (or "Thick") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. It's working well, and we'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Golden Pearl body and cap, matching striped cap jewel with gold plated trim, an art deco arrow clip, and a medium width "chevron" style cap band.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dings, or personalization. Microscratching all over, but the pen is quite shiny. The imprint is slightly faded, but still easily legible. The trim looks very nice, with just some microscratching on the trim ring and the tip. The clip has some brassing around the opening, but the sides are nice and clean. The pencil is very pretty with contrasting shades of rings that have some transluscence when it is turned.
