Parker Vacumatic

I discuss a vintage fountain pen with a beautiful laminated celluloid finish. These pens were introduced in 1933 and displaced the Duofold. They continued production until 1948. (1953 in Canada)

The datecode of this one, a 7 with three dots, puts it at the first quarter of 1937 or 1947. The date codes were the same. Other clues tell me which one. The plastic filler is the main clue that tells me 1947. At 128mm long, I believe it is a Junior.
