The ingenuity of Parker Vacumatics is so much fun for us. Using vacuum pressure with a diaphragm, these vintage pens fill an entire barrel with ink. Their stunning art deco design also satisfies our vintage hearts. This is the golden pearl design from 1945. We restored the pen with a new diaphragm. No cracks, no brassing, no engravings, no deep scratches. Only light wear from use is visible on the celluloid. There are some scratches on the top of the 14k gold nib. However, you will write a very nice extra-fine line. The barrel clarity is almost non-existent. Click the headline for close-ups. 12.7cm capped.
