The Parker Vacumatic was made, in the U.S.A and Canada, from1934 to 1948. This Canadian Vacumatic pencil, in Emerarld Pearl dates from the 1940s.
This is a long, slender pencil of Major size, 130mm. It is in first class condition throughout, with a brilliant shine and excellent gold trim.. It is a 'split arrow' clip, similar to the 'blue diamond' clip but made after legislation forced Parker to stop using the blue diamond on it's products.
The pencil has a smooth rotary mechanism, rotate the cap to expel and retract the lead. A new lead has been fitted and spares will be included.
The eraser appears to have been sheared off at some time, they do get very brittle with age.
I have provided a new, high quality case which will serve well for transportation, protection, and display.
Full sized Parker Vacumatic pencils are quite difficult to find, one in such fine condition is something of a rarity, and a very collectable item.
