Product Description
Type | Fountain pen |
Product Name | Parker Vacumatic ... the pattern is called "Shadow Wave" and this particular model is the Junior Debutante with a Speedline filling system. It's the only Shadow Wave model with a "star" split arrow clip (the others have the art deco version of the 1930s clip) |
Manufacturer and Year | Parker - 1939 (The imprint on the barrel is very clear -- 9 with no dots, which means last quarter 1939. The date mark on the nib is also 9 so it might be the original.) |
Length | 4-5/8 inches |
Filling System | Vacumatic filler, Speedline style, is in excellent 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 | Grey striped body and cap with steel plated trim-- some visibility thru the body. Both jewels are black. |
Nib | 14k extra fine firm nib. Writes smoothly. Good amount of tipping material in evidence, very symmetrical. |
Condition
|
Excellent restored condition with no cracks or chips, though there are signs of use. The imprint is very good and very readable. The chrome trim has minor wear on the cap band and on the high points of the clip. The color is good, very uniform. This is a great pen which should be a dependable writer for years and years to come. |
