Fs: Os Parker Vacumatic

September 30, 2009

Please note that the first firm "I'll take it" email scores the following pen, I do not place holds on pens unless we have transacted before and am requested to hold the item. I will answer questions as I get to them, but a firm offer in the mean time will take the pen.

Prices are in USD and shipping is included. I can only accept Paypal at this time. All pens have been restored, and carry a one year warranty.

For sale is an Oversize Danish Vacumatic in Silver Pearl with a (probably) unique Sterling Silver hand engraved capband. The pen is in amazing shape, the clip and cap tassie are excellent with no brassing whatsoever. The blind cap tassie has some brassing, but considering the age, its really not that bad at all. The pen has excellent clarity, but is ambered. The barrel is completely see through though and the breather tube is easliy seen. The capband is really quite nice, heavy and about 3/16" tall. The hand engraving is nicely done and does not show much wear at all. The nib is a semi flex two tone, with some wear to the two tone mask. It has recently been retipped by Greg Minuskin to a very nice medium. The Dutch imprint is perfectly clear and very crisp. There is also a personalization, P. Hansen on the opposite side of the barrel from the factory imprint. Honestly I did not see the name on the pen for about a month, it really blends in for some reason.
