Pen Resurrection Sunday Ep 24 1935 Parker Vacumatic Lockdown Burgundy Pearl

Welcome to another Pen Resurrection Sunday Restoration. Today's pen back from the dead is a 1935 Parker Vacumatic Lockdown filler in burgundy celluloid. I talk about the parts and features of the pen, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample. I show some time-lapse videos of how I restored the pen.
