Ever see a 6" vac?

That's what you get when you put a speedline cap and tassie on a lockdown barrel!

Sugar Honey Ice Tea I have all the parts I need to make one of those.

Give me a few minutes and I can cook one of those up. I was wondering what I was going to do with the 2nd gen blind cap and cap along with the first gen barrel and nib that I have sitting around.

What people will do to sell a pen. That said, there are good parts there for someone to snag. That filler is probably worth what the asking price is at the moment.

Cheers,

Wow, i almost bid on this one. In my lack of paying attention when adding items to My Ebay, i didn't notice this at all, and this one went into my watched items list. Good thing you posted here or I might have put a bid on it!

Thanks Buzz

Yep, I've got one of those... found it that way in the wild. I think mine was a department store pen counter fix for a lost blind or a busted lockdown filler.

It's a no-datecode, early Vacuum Filler in silver pearl, with an early all-aluminum speedline filler and a black blind cap. The blind cap is a little smaller in diameter than the pen. If I could just find the correct blind cap...
