Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Parker Vacumatic Maxima. The Maxima is the largest Vacumatic model, with a fatter barrel and cap and a bigger nib.
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - circa 1930s (The imprint on the barrel is faded.)
Length 5-7/16 inches (Maxima size).
Filling System Vacumatic speedline filler is in working condition. The filling system has been restored by us with a new diaphragm, and it has been tested. (We will guarantee the filling system for one year from purchase.)
Color Brown barrel and cap with ambered transparent horizontal lines; 3/16" gold Chevron style cap band; black jewel on cap end. Blue diamond clip.
Nib 14k fine two-tone nib.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a large pen in a beautiful, vibrant color, with excellent barrel transparency. The cap and barrel have light scratching. The cap band has some plating wear along the bottom edge. The clip looks great and the blue diamond is fully intact. The top black jewel looks good. The barrel blind cap is slightly offset from the rest of the barrel (see photo); we tried to re-set the filling system so that the blind cap fit more smoothly, but we were unable to do so. The pen is personalized: "Z Dedor". The imprints are faded at the "Made in U.S.A." end, but are otherwise clear.
