Couldn't help it.

Parker #25 Jack Knife Safety Short Model - Black Smooth Hard Rubber Cap - Gold Filled Clip & Wide Cap Band - REDDISH AMBER TRANSPARENT BAKELITE BARREL! - Button Fill (No # On Blind Cap)

Because it's Bakelite. We will not mention that when I saw the email for the new listings, my heart began to race and my breathing got faster. We will not mention that I felt dizzy and excited. We will not mention that I do not need this pen any more than the many other pens I have.

Finally acquired the altogether lovely Waterman Edson Sapphire Blue! This example is white glove perfect. And my pen budget is just now recovering after several months of abstinence. But I am not complaining...much!

Very interesting. Am I correct in assuming the ballpoint started life as a fountain pen? Do you have a date on the Emerald Green?

The ballpoint is a Retrofit made by Carl Seidl, start life as fountain pen. I don't have a date on the green Vac, but the filler unit is from the 3rd generation.
