Re: Looking for help Identifying a pen so I can find parts and get this old pen wokin
I really want to know what pen this is... it belonged to my mother in law and was from the 1950's she is 80 and the pen was here's from grade 5 on.
She gave it to me and I would love to restore it.
thanks for any help

It looks like a Oarker Vacumatic from the mid-1940s
The jambnut is stuck in the blind cap. You need a new clip and will need to rebuild the filler.

dmccullo, that’s Parker. (Farmboy just prefers his “O” key.)

Looks like a Parker but the nib appears to have the following inscription: Universal No. 1.

That’s Rob Lott, very legit. Ask if you don’t see what you want. He appears at pen shows with bins full of vintage pen parts.

Might be worth sending it to someone that does Vacs as a priority.
