Product Description
Type Vintage Vacumatic-filling fountain pen.
Product Name Duofold Vacumatic, aka "Duovac" Pen. We're not sure which exact model this is. It's between the senior and the ingenue sizes.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1942 (date code "2." on the barrel, and ".2." on the nib)
Length 5-3/16"
Filling System Vacumatic filler, with plastic plunger. We've restored the filling system with a new diaphragm and it's working perfectly.
Color Red and silver-grey, aalternating with dark transluscent stripes, body and cap, with gold plated trim, a 1/8" wide smooth cap band, and a black cap jewel.
Nib Fine firm gold Parker Pen nib. It's marked with an A for "accountant", to make sure those numbers are clearly posted in the journals.
Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings, but the trim plating is really worn. This is a colorful, classically designed pen with good barrel transparency. The cap and barrel have light to moderate scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The cap band has some plating wear and dots of pitting on the lower edge. The clip and tassie have plating wear and brassing. The black jewel looks nice. The imprints are clear.
