Description.

This is a very nice example of the desirable Parker Vacumatic, this is the standard model, the same size as the earlier Vac Major. It was made in Canada and is date coded for 1945. 

This is the 3rd Generation Major model with the plastic pump filler. The first generation Vacumatics (1932 - 1937) were fitted with the metal lockdown filler and had a short blind cap, the seond generation (1937 - 1941) were fitted with the speedline filler with the longer blind cap, the third generation (1942 - 1948) were fitted with the plastic filler, again with a longer blind cap. The later Oversize models with the single cap band were rebranded as the Vacumatic Maxima.

The pen is in fabulous condition throughout with minor marks and scratches commensurate with use. The gold plating to the clip, cap rings and tassie ring is in good order with a little pitting and some wear at the extremities.

The imprint is clear and legible.

The diaphragm has been replaced and the pen is in full working order.

The original 14ct gold nib writes smoothly with a Medium Semi Flex line.

Condition: Grade A
