I've seen a lot of rare parkers in books and online, but never have I seen one just like the first Parker in this collection. Also the second one, although broken, I have never seen. I think the Silver Vacumatic in the middle is a demonstrator, and the yellowish parker to the right of it seems interesting.
I hope David will chime in here, this is definitely his area of expertise.

The box too is really neat!

Wow, in spite of what looks to have been less than ideal storage conditions or unstable celluloid.

Looks like they will be powdered celluloid in 5 years. It's a shame that the orange pen is what the Vacs in the Parker Archives probably look like.

I finally decided to sell this prototype, which is on eBay now. More of an experimental model than a prototype I guess. It's the same as the three that are in the Parker Archives.

Looking at these makes my teeth hurt!

I think you'd have more bids if you'd allowed folks outside the US to bid or contact you.

I'll open it up on the relist, but have heard too many horror stories about shipping in some countries and stuff getting lost or stolen.
