1946 Parker Vacumatic Major Fountain Pen - Golden Pearl

Vintage: 1946

Make: Parker

Model: Vacumatic Major

Color: Golden Pearl

Materials: Celluloid with gold-plated trim

Filling System: Vacumatic filler (Resacced with a new diaphragm and sealed using a rosin-based sealant. Guaranteed to fill to factory capacity without leaks). To fill simply unscrew the blind cap, submerse the nib, and depress the plunger until the barrel is full.

Length: This full-sized 3rd-generation model measures 5 1/16” capped. 

Nib: 14k Vac Arrow nib lays down a smooth and consistent XF/F line.

Condition: Gold-plated trim is clean aside from a couple 1/8” slivers of brassing on the edge of the clip tassie and the typical spot on the tip of the clip’s arrow. Good transparency of an orange color makes the ink-level readily visible when pen is held to light. Celluloid surface is smooth and lustrous with no deep scratches or other noteworthy blemishes – scarcely even any microscratches. Manufacturer imprint and date code on barrel are deep and fully legible.

Details: The Major was a step up from the Junior, having more generous trim and carrying Parker's lifetime guarantee. Gold-plated Blue Diamond clip, chevron cap band, and black cap jewel.
