Product Name Vacumatic Major Mechanical Pencil.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1943 (the date code is a 3 with one dot).
Length 5-1/8".
Filling System This pencil takes .9mm (or "Thin") 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, black 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. There is microscratching, but in hand the pencil looks 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, and slight plating wear on the sides. The pencil is very pretty with contrasting shades of rings that have some transluscence when it is turned.
