Parker Vacumatic Leather pouch

[revdem]

Happy  Year everyone!

 

I am looking for some information about this leather vacumatic pouch/case.  Its in great condition, and while it obviously dates to the era of the Vacumatic pen, that about as much detail as I know.  I have another golden pearl set in a leather case that reads "Service Set", and am wondering if this zipper case is the same thing.

 

Thanks for the help.

The Service Set leather pouch was usually a leather holder with a foldover flap, I think they were stamped Active Service, the purchaser  bought the set in Canada and it was delivered to the service personnel on active duty, this was encouraged by magazine adverts on the run up to Christmas.

 

I am very envious of your leather pouch, it could be worth as much as the pen.

Thanks!  Here is the one I have

That looks superb, The pouch looks very good indeed.

 

This is a good area for collecting, a complete set, pen, pencil and original leather pouch. I know that in Germany it was commonplace to buy a pouch when you bought a new pen, not so much elsewhere in the world.

It is

 

Parker marketed these actively during World War II the service member’s families. It has been suggested this was primarily a Canadian campaign.

Ah sorry about that, I originally didn't specify America or Canada but then I thought that the only pens In had seen on the active service set were Canadian and the only magazine ads I had seen were from Canadian magazines, I had checked the Parker Vacumatic book and David Shepherd only refers to this as a Canadian marketing campaign.

 

Thanks for the clariication.

What a lovely pouch! There seems to be so much paraphernalia around the Vacumatic. I knew about the Holy Water sprinkler, but this one was new to me. If you know of one, please do tell...
