Hi All,

 

Anyone ever seen this colour of Shadow Wave in a Vac before? Now if only it didn't have the hole in the blind cap!!!!!

[icardoth]

Yes, I have the same exact pen. The blind cap can be repaired or replaced, as it is plain black.

[pen lady]

Oh!!!!!!!! Is it really that wonderful colour? Binder's examples don't show anything like that.

That's a Shadow Wave in green. If you look on Richard Binder's Vacumatic page you will see it listed at the bottom with the rest of the Vac Jr. colors.

 

It's a nice set, especially at that price.

[pen lady]

Yes, that's where I looked, but I guess the sellers photos colour balance may be out a bit. Binder's green looks more grassy, this one looks almost teal. Someone will get a bargain - maybe.

A 5th round draft pick at an auction I just picked up.

 

1st round Parker orange Duofold $125 - $150 [ Can not recall ]

2nd round P61 with rainbow cap. $90

3rd & 4th round P51 areo's Grey 3 of them. $ 50 - $70

5th round Parker Vacumatic Demi in Burgundy Shadow Wave $45

 

I think I got the best deal.

It's a feature, a rare "Porthole Demonstrator"!!!!!

It is a lovely set, otherwise, though, isn't it? That color is really wonderful. Hmm. Maybe I should bid.... Naah, what would I do with a mechanical pencil that I can't already do with a Berol Turquoise (especially after a friend "dumpster dived" and gave me a bunch of packages of replacement leads in various hardness ratings; those will probably take me a good ten to twenty years to use up, since I had just gotten a package of 2H leads recently in an art store).

Just been watching this pen set sell for $119. Anyone here get it? Hope so. It got too dear for me a while ago factoring in eBay's Global Shipping cash grab and mailing cost. I asked the seller if she'd ship directly to me - she wouldn't. Enjoy it wherever you are!
