Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Parker Vacumatic ... the pattern is called "Shadow Wave" and this particular model is the larger of the two sizes made though it was called a "Junior". (The smallest size was called the Juniorette.)
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - 1939 (The imprint on the barrel is very clear 9 with one dot, and the Speedline filler points to it being from the late 1938 or early 1939 when they changed from Lockdown fillers to Speedline. The "star clip" also debuted in 1938 but was only used for a year or two before it was replaced by the Blue Diamond clip. The nib has a 6 date code, so it's from 1946.)
Length Just a hair over 5"
Filling System Vacumatic, with the Speedline filler, is in excellent working condition. Restored here at PSP, we guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Brown "Shadow Wave" lengthwise striped with gold trim. Black blind cap (correct for this model) and jewels. Star Clip.
Nib STUB 14k nib. Excellent tipping material.
