| COMMENTS: Third generation Vacumatics are typical "First Vacumatic" for most collectors due to their availabilty and due to their ability to provide a nice size 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. This one has nice color, no clarity remaining, imprint solid save for gone by "made in USA", light trim wear. | |||

| COMMENTS: Nice First Generation Vac with lockdown filler, triple cap-bands, all the luxury features (striped section and end jewels, two tone nib). Far less common than the later Major and hard to find clean. This one has bit of brassing to capbands and edge of bottom tassie. Nib has partial two tone effect remaining. The nib is the gift. Very smooth medium line. My sort of writer, whatever that means. | |||

| COMMENTS: Third generation Vacumatics are typical "First Vacumatic" for most collectors due to their availabilty and due to their ability to provide a nice size 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. This one boasts a bonus- a properly dated 1946 two tone nib. Whilst two-tone effect largely ceased to appear in Vacs during 1942, an occasional 1946 crops up. | |||

| COMMENTS: Shadow-Wave is a pattern, not a model. It appears on various econo-line models from late 1937 probably through 1943. This one is an all-correct Vacumatic Junior from 1941, the longest model pocket pen found in this plastic. The silver pearl celluloid on this one shows excellent color. The white metal trim, often trashed on these, is well aboe average with a bit of wear to the bands but no brassing. Nice fine point. | |||

| COMMENTS: OK.
These are tough. The Parker Vacuum-Filler is the predecessor to the
Vacumatic , proper, and is a sub-1-year model. I refer to it- a bit
tongue in cheek- as the 0th generation Vac. The CRYSTAL was produced
in response- per Parker- to customer fondness for dealer Demonstrator
models. Indeed, today the Crystal sometimes is confused for the very
similar Demo. This one has clean trim, ambered barrel (deep ruby translucency) and a mostly legible, light imprint. It has the proper non-arrow nib marked "Parker Vacuum-Filler". Something of an "advanced" pen for the serious Vac Nut. |

| COMMENTS: Today often bedeviled by heavy ambering and wear to that unpolishable white trim, the collector does not have an easy job finding crisp early mottled Vacumatic Juniors. But, when found, they make a for pleasant acquisitions. This one is a gem in all respects. Crisp trim, color and clarity. Responsive fine-med nib with wee bit o' flex. Matching pencil is clean too. | |||
