Vacumatic Sizes

Recommended Posts

I know there are many different vacumatics around.
Is there an easyJet classification when it comes to the SIZE of stiped vacumatics? (Like junior, regular, oversize)?

I remember previous threads. Dangerous, flammables discusions on this issue.

Hi Lazard20

Thank you for posting that. I was thinking about moving into Vacumatics and that info is very useful.

Lazzard-

 

Is your figure a compilation of catalog/ad pictures or is this a Parker chart?

I agree with the chart Lazard has posted above for the most part with the following exceptions which I've circled in red:

 

15618076652_1eae544167_b.jpg

 

In the 1939 row, I would recommend calling the pen I circled the "Junior Debutante" instead of Sub-Deb. I don't have a copy of the 1939 catalog, and I believe Parker may have actually called it the Sub-Deb in 1939, but collectors will recognize the name Sub-Deb to mean a pen with a single, narrower, smooth band, such as the last pen on the right in the 1940 row. The pen in this row is exactly the same pen shown on the far right in the 1938 row, and it is easier to just have one name instead of two for the same pen.

 

The pen I circled in the 1940 row is what collectors will call a "Streamlined Standard." If you look closely, you can see that the pen has the slightly more tapered shape to the cap than a normal "Standard." The "Streamlined Standard" will also have a longer blind cap than a regular "Standard" pen. It will also have a speedline filler instead of a lockdown filler. We don't know what Parker actually called this pen, but collectors will know it as the "Streamlined Standard"

Hello, you can call it what you want but, with all due respect, I think your recommendation is misplaced because in 1939 this model was called by Parker as I have noted as you can see: SUB-DEB.

 

(Even if you have not 1939 catalog, for example in famous Saturday Evening Post ads September ´39 with Blue Diamond presentation you can also see this model as Sub Deb).

It is nice to see this catalog page. I see that Parker called the pen a Sub-Deb in 1939, and it is technically correct to do so. BUT, it is only correct to call this pen a Sub-Deb if it has a 1939 date code. So, it is less confusing if we use just one name for them.

 

Because Parker made a DIFFERENT kind of pen and also called it Sub-Deb, I think it is easier for collectors to call this type of pen a Junior Debutante, whether it has 1938 or 1939 date code.

 

But, yes, it is also correct to call this pen a Sub-Deb if it has a 1939 date code. It can be confusing to others, though.

As FarmBoy said above, Parker and other brand catalogs can be found at www.pencollectorsofamerica.org/reference-library

 

However, the specific photo you were asking to see is the one I reposted later in the thread, with corrections.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
