Description.

This is a good working example of the Parker Vacumatic Junior. It was made in the USA around 1934. This is the 1st Generation model with the lockdown pump filler. It is finished in the lovely Green and Black Marble.

The first generation Vacumatics (1932 - 1936) 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. There were some crossovers on the dates as old stock was used up. Canadian models tended to lag behind the US production as old stock was passed to Toronto to make way for new stock in Janesville.

This pen is in good condition throughout with minor marks and scratches commensurate with use. The gold plating is worn on the clip edges and the imprint has completely worn away.

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

The original 14ct gold nib writes smoothly with a Broad line.
