Vintage Pens: Parker Vacumatic Standard

Description

In 1936, Fred & Ginger lit up the silver screen in the classic “Swingtime,” King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne to marry an American divorcé, television broadcasts first began, Jesse Owens showed up the Nazis in Berlin, Joe DiMaggio was a rookie, FDR won a second term and this Parker Vacumatic Standard fountain pen  in burgundy was made. It was an elegant era, and this pen, in many respects, marks the pinnacle of art deco design. Our Parker Vacumatic Standard is in excellent condition. No cracks, a little brassing, no scratches, restored and working. The barrel viewing is very clear and a light amber. Its two-tone 14k has some cosmetic issues. You will write an extra-fine line with a little flex but not much. 12.8cm capped.
