Restoring vacumatics will never NOT be magic to me.

Azure Oversize? Of course, so long as you don’t mind Italian pens.  Beautiful celluloid.

 

I find Canadian Vacs tend to have more flexible nibs. A flexible-stub nib on a Burgundy Maxima is a great writer.

Second Storage Tray of Vacumatics with wide or Jewelers Band. Rediscovered an Emerald Maxima with a 9ct Band. I must have stored it there thinking I will remember to restore it some time in the future( now the past). It has a nice Canadian nib that somewhat flexes.

Good clarity on the black vacumatics.

Whenever you're ready to let go of a few of the unrestored ones, I'm happy to talk price! 😁

Some day. The standard vacs are lowering in the priority list. I have to eventually go through all the pens

A blue OS would be a great find!

Blue pens look great!

My short major is a lot darker than I hoped. Is there anything I can do brighten it or is that just part of the "charm"?

I am not aware of a “short Major”. Is that just a standard size Vacumatics? 
Are you referring to the ambering of the barrel or the darkness of the azure color?

To me, the middle pen is darker than the others. I'm not sure why though!

Did they make an Azure Maxima or anything in that size range? I knew I wasn’t right in the term I used….🤷🏼‍♂️😇

Yes. They made a single jewel and double jewel Azure Maxima. 
Contrary to opinion, there is no Azure Vac Band. Some collectors were being creative.

 

BTW, the Williamson Pens are ASTOUNDING!
