Parker Vacumatic nibs are notoriously rigid and fine, but this Parker Vacumatic Maxima from 1937 sports a tasty two-tone 14k gold nib that writes a semi-flex line from medium to about 1mm wide! Also awesome is the fact that this vintage pen has some great barrel clarity. Yeah, it's a little ambered, but you can still see through it easily. Click the headline for close-ups. Minimal, if any wear. Has a working diaphragm. The tail cap is about 98% flush with the barrel. The only warning we have about this pen is that its long nib snags on the cap if you overtighten it. Never close the cap tighter than the first evidence of snugging up. 13.6cm capped.
