I usually sell antique postcards on Ebay, but I'm selling these pens/pencils for a friend's father who has been collecting them for fifty years and is ready to part with some. When he's ready to part with his Waterman snake, I'll be in business! My knowledge of pens and pencils is limited to the research that I've done on Ebay and from the experience I gained from selling other batches of pens. I have also purchased a book on fountain pens to help me identify some of these. This has all been helpful, but I'm still an amateur and could make some mistakes in terminology and identification. So please study the scans and email with any questions. I'll do my best to answer them. Please see all scans and read my detailed description below. All sales are final, unless I grossly misrepresented the item. Some buyers have been taking advantage of my sweet, wonderful, self :)
DESCRIPTION: Vintage fountain pen by Parker. I haven't seen a Vacumatic in a desk pen before. Cool! The pen barrel is black and amber...when held up to the light, the amber stripes shine. The taper is black. Fancy etched cap band...maybe goldfilled? T is a blue diamond-shape on the cap band indicating Lifetime. INFORMATION ON THE BARREL: Parker Vacumatic Made in USA, followed by a 2 (?), 3 (?) and one dot. INFORMATION ON THE NIB: Parker USA, followed by a 0. PERSONAL ENGRAVING: None. T is an engraving plate on the cap band, but it is blank. BRASSING: I don't see any brassing...minimal, if any. CONDITION: I see and feel no cracks. Light scratching to the finish, as found on vintage, used pens. The taper has some dull/cloudy areas, but they don't appear to be deep...I think it just needs cleaned (?). The metal plunger doesn't move much, and I don't want to force it. DOES THE PEN WORK?: Please note, that when I am able to, I will state whether or not a pen takes in and expels water. If nothing is noted in my description above please assume the pen has either not been tested, or does not fill. In addition, just because I see the pen filling with water this does not guarantee that the pen can be filled with ink and put into daily use. I am trying to learn as much as I can, on the run, and appreciate your patience. WHITE SPECKS: Sometimes these pens look clean as a whistle, then I see all sorts of little white specks on the scans. Please be assured that these aren't on the pen, unless I've stated otherwise. SCRATCHING: Please note that my scanner glass has become scratched with the pens. If you see a scratch that seems to move around on the pen, chances are, it's a scratch on the scanner glass and not on the pen. Please feel free to email me to ask specifically about scratching. SIZE: Please see the scans and note that I've tried to place the end of the pen as close to the ZERO MARK of the ruler as I can, but may be off a smidge. SHIPPING: Buyer pays $3.00 for careful packaging and first class shipping for one (or many!) auction in the United States. Priority shipping is also available for $5.00. International shipping and handling will be $7.00 to most countries for International First Class. $5.00 for our neighbors in Canada. NEW EBAYERS: New buyers with low feedback, please contact me before bidding. Depending on the amount of your bid, the length of time on ebay, and the country you live in, bids will be considered.
