Pen 2312 Parker VS (Vacumatic Successor) ~ 1947 $225
Cordovan (well brown/tan anyway). MINT STICKERED 1947

Overall Grade:  User Grade
Metal: Perfect Color:  Perfect CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Nearmint
Clutch  perfect clarity:    NA
Point: XF Imprint:  Perfect Size: 5 1/2" 13.8cm
PRICE: $120 
COMMENTS:   Introduced around 1947, the Vacumatic Successor appeared before the demise of the Vac, proper, and did not long succeed it. Featuring a mix of features from the era, the pen has a very 51-ish cap with blade clip, button filler, Vac-style nib but sans arrow emblem, and with bizarre clear feed i've heard is of lucite. I believe these were produced in just one size and in four colors. This one is superb.

Pen 2237F Sheaffer Snorkel Admiral $95
Burgundy.  Medium Point. Near Mint Tagged/Stickered

Overall Grade:  NM
Metal: NM Color:  Perfect CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Nearmint
Threads:  perfect clarity:    NA
Point:  Medium Imprint:  NM Size 5 5/8"  14.2 cm PRICE: $95
COMMENTS:  Sheaffer's massively successful "51" fighter during the 1950's was  produced in an impressive array of colors and trim. Note "D.E" is stamped on the Sheaffer imprint?! I have several Snorks from disparate sources so stamped.  Not sure what to make of that. This pen has original "Admiral" tab as well as "medium" sticker still on gripping section, corresponding to the medium "M-2" nib. Nice pen.

COMMENTS:   Best Condition/Color Lapis Duofold i have owned (I own a few nice ones). The pen is mint. It is superb. It does not have a functioning sac.. It may not be returned if inked or dipped.  Absolutely stunning pen. If you really want a sac tossed in, i will ask Ron Zorn to place one next week, and please add $20 to price.

COMMENTS:  SIgh. In the old days i'd never consider letting this one out of the collection, but i already have a mint VS and don't seek to collect 'em all. Intorducced around 1947, the Vacumatic Successor appeared before the demise of the Vac, proper, and did not long succeed it. Featuring a mix of features from the era, the pen has a very 51-ish cap with blade clip, button filler, Vac-style nib but sans arrow emblem, and with bizarre clear feed i've heard is of lucite.

Pen 1734 Parker Vacumatic standard sized Junior. 3rd Generation  $285
Absolutely Mint, with Price Sticker.

Overall Grade: Mint
Metal: Perfect Color:  Perfect CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Mint Threads:  perfect clarity:    Mint
Point:  Fine
Imprint:  perfect Size: 5 1/8"
PRICE: $285
COMMENTSThird generation Vacumatics are typical "First Vacumatic" for most collectors due to their availabilty and due to their ability to provide a nice sized pen for reasonable cost. The two standard sized 3rd Gen pens are Major and Junior, identical pens save for trim, subtle difference to shape of nib, original price, and status of original Parker warranty.  Despite easy access to this sort of pen, it is not at all easy to find true mint examples.

This one pops, showing why silver pearl celluloid seems so prevalent today. While most found today are faded and dingy, when they were fresh they were eye catchers.  This one is... mint. It has original sac and fills with water, but if you plan to use regularly, placement of a new sac is recommended. I can have this done for extra $25. Pen may not be returned if inked or dipped. Water testing is fine.

COMMENTSWell, this one is just neat and is well outside my usual collecting interest. Sterling Cisele pattern pen and pencil "Classic" set (1980's??) along with mulitple caps demonstrating different advertising brands; BMW, GTE, Motorola, 3M GE, Aramis and more. Intended no doubt to help sell Parker pens with company logos.  Fitted case is included.

Pen 1947 Parker "51" Vac-filling Demi (1.5 year model)  1948

Nib condition: Exc 
Clutch  perfect clarity:    NA
Point: Fine-Med Imprint:  Perfect Size: 5 1/8"
PRICE: $200 
COMMENTSExcellent example of a relatively uncommon pen. Demis can take cap from any Vac-Filler "51"  but were sold with dedicated caps, so it is important to get the right cap. This set has the right caps.  Pen is clean with good frost and few light marks. No dings. Pencil too is clean and works, though has no eraser at the moment. Time for me to dive into the parts box. Oh yeah, besides the case and instructions, the original outer cardboard box is included with this one.

Pen 1963 Waterman "100 Year" 3 Piece Physician's Set 1940   $1500

Metal: Mint Color: Perfect CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Mint
Threads:  perfect clarity:  NA
Point:  Lush Medium Imprint:  Never had 'em Size: 5"
PRICE: $1500 
COMMENTSWhere to start???  OK. This is the earliest style physician's set catalogued for the 100-Year, and is the second style  produced in any 100-Year pen.  Triple set has Pen, Pencil and Thermometer Case. This one is perfect regarding the three pieces.  The Thermometer certificate correlates to the thermometer including in the thermometer case,  It is noted that the presentation case is not perfect.  The platform holding the pens no longer is attached to the metal internal hinge, so must be moved to the propped position by hand.  Top satin is discolored. The warranty paper no longer adheres. May not be returned if inked or dipped. Original Sac. Might fill.
