Product Description
Type Fountain Pen
Product Name Parker Vacumatic Junior -- the Junior is more or less the same size as the Major, however it has two thin cap rings and a "split arrow" clip as opposed to the Blue Diamond clip.
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - 1945 (The imprint on the barrel is clear.)
Length 5-1/16"
Filling System Vacumatic filling system. We have fully restored the system, and will guarantee it for a year.
Color Azure Blue Pearl body with gold plated trim and a black jewel.
Nib EXTRA FINE gold nib is unmarked, but appears to be extra fine. It's fairly firm, with good tipping.
Condition A bit better than user grade condition. The lower of the two thin cap bands is missing and there are some small scratches and minor tooth marks on the lower barrel and on the cap. There's a bulge around the filling system, caused by a previous sloppy repair job. (We re-did the filling system restoration work.) Some minor damage in the gold plating on the clip and the ring around the jewel, where it's starting to chip off a little. The cap jewel is a bit indented and worn. Still this pen is quite beautiful, and writing very well. No cracks or chips, and nice barrel clarity.
Engraved on the barrel is the name "Gus Larson." (See photos)
