Re: Bit of a Black Vac Attack
This is gonna be a nice read I bet.
Re: Bit of a Black Vac Attack
What beauties. This really is a classic fountain pen. A lovely picture too!
Re: Bit of a Black Vac Attack
In the upcoming issue of Fountain Pen Journal, I'll discuss the Parker Vacumatic Golden Web cluster. I hope to do the Black Vac Attack an issue or two later.

I wish Parker would do a modern release of these pens.....I am sure they would sell a large quantity of them.

The pens would probably be C/C fillers. Would there be any point?Originally Posted by Mags

Yup. Remember this?The pens would probably be C/C fillers. Would there be any point?
Re: Bit of a Black Vac Attack
It seems that there is a night and day difference between the Vacumatic on the one hand and the IM and Urban on the other.Yup. Remember this?The pens would probably be C/C fillers. Would there be any point?

The Vacumatic series was all about vacumatic filling system. It seems these days is much easier to produce C/C...Yup. Remember this?The pens would probably be C/C fillers. Would there be any point?

Re: Bit of a Black Vac Attack
Indeed. A 'tribute' to the Vacumatic with only the most superficial resemblance to a Vacumatic.. . . And call it something misleading . . .The Vacumatic series was all about vacumatic filling system.

Re: Bit of a Black Vac Attack
I mean a modern vacuum fill Parker brand new pen again. I would want one. I don't think I would want a c/c look alike. It would be nice to have a new celluloid pen with all brand new parts. They all lasted 40 years before repairs and we all got them restored. A new release would have a market.

Re: Bit of a Black Vac Attack
I want a C/C one. Easy to clean and repair and no worries about failing latex bits. Pump filler is a novel idea but not practical.

Well, you have the C/C version available. No quaint, charming thirties-forties Vacumatic there.
