Vintage Pens: Parker Vacumatic 1937

Description

Sometimes a good foray into vintage pens can be a user-grade model that is fully restored but cosmetically challenged. Our Parker Vacumatic 1937 is a Parker Vacumatic made in 1937. Burgundy is the rarest of the main colors used for these models. This one is more of a dusty rose. We restored it with a new diaphragm. The lockdown filler is a little sticky, so don’t mash it hard. Normally, these pens sell for much more money. However, this has a flat spot on the barrel where someone tried to remove a name that had been engraved on the pen. You can see some of the letters still remain in one of the gallery photos. No cracks, but there is a little corrosion on the blind-cap trim. You can see it in the gallery photos, too. You will write a nice extra-fine to fine line with its 14k gold nib. 12.8cm capped.
