Vintage Pens: Parker Junior

Description

Swingin’ England made this jolly-good Parker Junior fountain pen in the 1950s or ’60s. It looks a little like a solid-burgundy Parker Vacumatic. Although it is a smaller size, it is definitely bigger than a Parker Vacumatic Debutante. Fill it easily with its “5-press” aerometric filler that remains in great working order. You will see standard wear from use on the cap and barrel. No cracks, brassing or inscriptions mar this elegant vintage pen. Its 14k gold nib is definitely scratched up on the top side. Nevertheless, you will write a fairly smooth fine line. However, others who have written with this pen report it being a broad writer. It depends on how you hold the pen. Our Parker Junior measures 13.4cm capped.
