For Sale: Parker Vacumatic b/f

[rattybad1]

A few months ago I bought a Parker vacumatic for a friend for her birthday, but after I got it restored I liked it enough that I thought I'd keep it for myself. I actually love the pen, but I don't use it enough and figured I'd give someone else a chance to fall in love.

 

Let's see...like I said, it was given an overhaul by Ron Zorn about two months ago. It's black with good transparency, no brassing on the clip or band cap. There's a little bulging on the filler unit, which I understand is not uncommon. The nib is a two-tone fine nib. On the barrel next to the "Parker Vacumatic" inscription is the number 5 and one dot. The pen is a smooth, wet writer. The pen is 4-5/8" capped, and 5-3/8" posted. Pictures below; please excuse my poor picture-taking abilities.

 

I'm was asking $95 for the pen but I'm reducing it to $75 and that covers shipping in the CONUS & Canada, via USPS priority mail. If there are no takers, it's going on ebay...best bet is to email me directly at rattybad1@gmail.com and first solid "I'll take it" gets it.
