Smooth writing pen in great condition. The nib is very smooth and the pen is a really good writer. The trim is excellent, especially considering how easily the nickel trim on these pens wore to brass. The barrel transparency is excellent even though it has ambered along the way. The barrel transparency on the pens in this color actually made them look odd when empty. When they are full of ink, the barrel and cap match much better. This is a great example of a 30s Vacumatic.

Smooth writing pen in great condition. Don't fear the fine nib in this pen, it is a nice smooth writer. The top jewel is striped and the bottom jewel is not. This is original and correct on this pen. Parker decided to cut costs on the double jewel Vacs by not having a screw in jewel on the bottom. The "jewel" on these pens is actually the blind cap. They just machined the solid blind cap to accept the tassy which was then pressed on. This saved the time and expense of making a jewel and the threading the blind cap. If you look very closely at it, you can actually see the laminations just like in the rest of the pen. Good barrel transparency [ambered]. Nice solid pen.

Parker Vacumatic pencil that was made in the USA in the 1937. It is an emerald [green] pearl standard size pencil with a striped jewel. Some of the Vacumatics of the late 30s had the cap band that is more commonly associated with the 1940s Vacs. This is the pencil to match one of those so-called transitional pens. It has the 1937 date code, so it must be one of the first ones in this style. It has the striped jewel and is the thick 30s style pencil with the removable lead cartridge inside. Ready to write.

Original Parker lead cartridge that was meant as a replacement for a Vacumatic pencil from the 1930s. The Vacumatic pencils from the 1930s had this tin lead holder inside. This was a throw-away item back then. This one comes in a small capped tin and the cartridge still has it's lead inside plus an unused eraser. It also comes with a spare eraser. There is a "F" on the cap, but it is not for fine lead, it is for firm lead. It has the groove on one side and your pencil should have a small bump on the inside of the tube for the groove to position on.   $75.00

Parker Vacumatic Secretary fountain pen barrel from the Imperial line that was made in the USA in the 1930s.  This is a near mint barrel. I do not have a cap. It takes the cap with the little ball on the top. I don't think this was ever used. There is some residue in the barrel, it may be from the diaphragm touching the barrel or it may have been tested once. It has a lock down filler, but the end of the filler is small like a speedline filler end cap.   I am guessing most people know how rare this is. If you have one with a beat up barrel or you have the cap, this is your chance.

Maker: Parker
Model: Vacumatic Secretary
Color:  black
Year:  1936
Country of Origin:  USA
Barrel Material:  Plastic
Trim Material: gold filled tassy 
Length:  4"

Imprint: Parker Vacumatic Secretary 
Imprint Location: barrel
Imprint Condition: perfect
Filling System: vac fill [lock down filler] 

Near mint. Very rare. Upgrade your pen or wait for a cap.
