Parker Vacumatics And Duofolds
|
The Parker Vacumatic is probably the most well known
collectible fountain pen. They're very pretty, work well, hold a decent amount of ink, and let you see
when the ink supply is getting low. The down side is that they're tricky to service. I disassembled these
pens, replaced the diaphragm (if needed), and cleaned the inside of the barrel as completely as possible.
These are guaranteed to work, and if there are problems, I'll fix them. I love Vacs, have collected quite
a few (second only to Moore pens), and like fixing them up. .

Blue Two-Jewel Deb
|
A smaller size blue Vac with great color. Fine nib. Speedline filler.
A bit of bowing where the filler sits in the barrel (someone before me didn't
clean the filler site completely). No date code, but there rest of the
imprint is clear. Brassing to cap band. Decent but not perfect
transparency.

Parker Blue Two Jewel, Blue Diamond |
The color is great on this two jewel Vac. It also has good transparency. The
diaphragm is new, and the nib is nice fine. The primary limitation is that
someone before me polished off the right half of the embossed lettering
(including the date code). The cab band is also a bit worn.
