Description

Geo S. Parker
Parker Vacumatic
Made in U.S.A.
44 stamped on nib, Circa 1934
Tortoise Pattern
I believe this pen is made from celluloid
This pen is roughly 86 years old. Overall this pen is in great condition. Photos will serve as description of items condition.
The 44 on the nib of pen is the date code stamped by Parker. The first date codes, found for example on the Vacumatics, consists of two digits, the first one denoting the quarter of production, the second denoting the production year. Hence a "47" marking on a 1930's pen indicate that the pen was produced in the fourth quarter of 1937, not 1947, which is a common misconception. In 1938 the the date system changed and a series of dots were introduced to denote the year of manufacture.
This would make a fine addition to anyone's collection.
