Hi all,
I have been thinking about offering a "featured pen of the week"
for awhile. Sometimes I will have a pen in exceptionally nice
condition or one that is unusual in some respect or other, that
I have offered previously and I will think to myself, "This is a
great pen! Why has it not sold..." Price can be a factor or it
could be that it is a color that does not jump off the page at
you. Other times I am mystified by what it is about a particular
pen that it is still hanging out at our house :-)
The pen has been recently restored and are ready to fill with
ink and use.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please reply to me at:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
1946 Parker Vacumatic Junior in silver pearl. There is no damage to
report. The silver colored trim is exceptional and is probably the
nicest example of a silver pearl 1940's Vacumatic that I have ever
had. The barrel imprint is fairly crisp and deep with raised edges.
The barrel has only very slight ambering and is better than what it
appears in my photos, see photos. The nib is a smooth writing Fine
14K arrow. Capped the pen measures 5 inches or 12.8 cm. For
those who may not know, 1940's Vacumatic Juniors are
approximately the same size as a Major or standard size Vac.
The condition is Excellent.
Price $195.00 shipping with insurance included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

Rules, Shipping, Etc.
The usual rules apply, the person sending the first e-mail on an item
~stating intent to purchase~ gets the item. I will give you 5 days to
decide if you like the pen or not. I prefer payment by PayPal but also
accept checks or money orders in USD. I can only accept payment by
PayPal from countries outside the U.S. I ship worldwide, so
international customers are always welcome.
Prices are post paid in the U.S., and will be shipped with a tracking
number and insurance. I normally ship inside the U.S. by U.S.
Postal Service Priority Mail, which is $24.75 to most countries,
except Canada, which is less. I can also ship to other countries by
by Express International Mail, if you request it, but it is costly.
Return Policy: I will always allow pens, or other items, to be
returned. If there is a problem I would prefer the chance to fix the problem
or replace the item, when and if possible. Otherwise a full refund
will be offered. If you find a problem and choose to send the item
(pen, mechanical pencil, etc.) to someone else to be corrected, I will
not be responsible for any other problems.
Happy penning!
