Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Parker Vacumatic Maxima
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - circa 1945 (The imprint on the barrel is deep but the number indicating year is not clear. The date mark on the nib is 6, so it is a later replacement.)
Length 5-3/8 inches (Maxima size).
Filling System Vacumatic speedline filler is in restored, working condition. The filling system has been restored by us with a new diaphragm, and it has been tested. (We will guarantee the filling system for one year from purchase.)
Color Burgundy pearl body and cap with gold filled trim-- excellent visibility thru the body. Striped jewel on the cap, black jewel on the barrel.
Nib 14k fine nib. Writes very smoothly with a wet line. Lots of tipping material in evidence.
Condition Superior restored condition with no cracks or chips, though there are signs of light use. Very shiny. The imprint is very crisp. The gold filled trim is excellent with some brassing on the bottom jewel only. The cap jewel is striped but the barrel jewel is black. The cap has a wide Chevron style band.
We replaced the sac and tested the pen and found no leaks. This is a great pen which should be a dependable writer for years and years to come. We will guarantee it against leaks for a period of one year from purchase, though with proper care and handling the filling system will last for tens of years whithout problem.
