A few years ago I bought a large vintage lot of pens from a longtime collector who was meticulous about his pens, nibs, and restoring them to functional status. Over the next few days, I am attempting to list the remainder of that collection both individually and as lots. I am not a pen person so I cannot speak to the functionality of each individual pen, (I can however, test pencils!), but I will attempt to describe them as accurately as possible with multiple close up shots.
You are looking at an original Parker Vacumatic fountain pen in a black-light blue striped pattern. This pen is a little over 5" in length and has no obvious cracks. There is a little bit of tarnishing on the ring around the cap and on the clip. There appears to be a slight amount of surface wear, here and there in the form of tiny scratches only noticeable under magnification. The barrel reads Parker Vacumatic Made in Canada with patent number. The nib reads Parker Canada with a gold arrow on the nib.
Overall, a beautiful piece of history which has held up nicely over time. This would make an excellent addition to your collection.
