Nice review. Next you will have to try a Stripped Duofold.

After the Duofold a double jeweled, Blue Diamond vac filler 51 would be next !! :D

I recently saw a similar pen , a brown striped colluloif with a pen vendor. He told me that its called parker school pen. It was small in size and the nib, i guess is steel only. He said that they have converted the vac to eyedropper as they didnt get spare parts.

 

I have been eyeing the pen and i may soon buy that. :)

I have owned a similar pen, a Vacumatic converted to eye dropper. The reason I bought it was because it still had the Parker gold nib and the original cap and for these two parts the price was good. The pen did not function well as an eye dropper and I could not recommend that you buy this pen unless you are certain that the ink flow is acceptable to you.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
