Product Description

Product Name Vacumatic Major pencil which has been modified with a clutch-type mechanism.
Manufacturer and Year Parker - USA - 1939 (date code 9 with one dot)
Length 4-3/4"
Filling System 0.9mm leads. Something like a clutch method of extending lead, though it doesn't have the split "fingers" of a normal clutch mechanism. Push the cap down like a clicker. We'll include a small container of leads.
Color Emerald pearl body and cap, matching cap jewel, and gold plated trim. Decorated cap band. Split Arrow clip.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a small, beautifully colored, shiny mechanical pencil in a nice vintage design. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching with a number of long scratch lines on both. There is a gap between the cap and barrel portions (see photos) where you can see the silver colored mechanism. The cone has light plating wear and moderate scratching. The cap band decoration is fully intact. The band looks good though it does have some light scratches. The short arrow clip looks good. The clip ring small scratches here and there, some in clusters. The top jewel that matches the green pearl has light microscratching. The imprints are clear.
