This is a Parker Vacumatic Slender in Laminated Golden Pearl (Brown) celluloid date coded 1937. It's just over 4 9/16 inches long capped. The plunger is the locking type. The Vacumatic fills by removing the blind cap at the end of the barrel, revealing the plunger, dipping the nib in ink, and repeatedly pressing the plunger until the barrel fills with ink. Parker claimed the Vacumatic could be filled with one hand. The barrel clarity on this example is very good. The cap top jewel is black, but the barrel end jewel is laminated celluloid. The barrel is stamped GEO S PARKER next to PARKER VACUMATIC next to MADE IN U.S.A next to the date code 47. It has gold filled trim. Parker called the ink view barrel a "full television ink supply." It has the 14 karat gold platinum plated Vacumatic Arrow nib stamped U S A over PARKER. The Slender sold for $7.50 and the matching pencil sold for $3.50. #fountainpen #pencollecting #parker #vacumatic #laminated #celluloid #parkerpen #parkervacumatic #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/B8c4eKhjkHz/?igshid=1rioqso3tig73
