Black Parker Junior Vacumatic Jewel Blind Cap

[Daveeho]

Hello,

 

I am looking for a Black Parker junior vacumatic jewel blind cap, I have the pen but the wrong end cap has been fitted.

 

Hope to hear from someone!

I dont know much about Vacumatics but I think people may want to know which series Vac you are referring to, the year on the barrel would do if you are not sure of the series.

 

Does it look like this one for example

Thank you for that suggestion, below are two photos, showing wrong type of blind cap.

You need a (first generation) lockdown filler junior blind cap.

Your pen is a Golden Vacumatic, which was made in the Jr and Deb sizes, never the 3 band standard size. The blind cap that is on it is from a Duofold. Mito is correct. I will add that the blind cap will be black with a tassie and black jewel.

It should look like this:

And the blind cap/tassie is essentially unique. Hard to find part.

Many thanks for the replies, although now I am not filled with much hope. Best to keep looking, maybe something will turn up.

I don't know that its all that unique. The Jr and 3 band standard were the same diameter, the Jr just a little shorter, and with a 2 band cap. The blind cap and tassie/jewels were the same, so you could get the blind cap from any black Jr or Standard lock down Vac.

I think Tod / F.Boy frightened the OP by saying the blind cap/tassie was essentially unique and was, thus, a hard to find part.

I believe there to be a slight difference in the blind caps mentioned. I may be one of a few that thinks so.

But can't you grant him permission to 'get away' with just a black 1st G. Junior blind cap on compassionate grounds? For the time being, at least.

It is ok. I have far more desk pens with caps than I need...

Yes. I lack blind caps for both sizes, especially the larger one thus my extra desk pens...
