Someone drooled in the lower left corner, but it isn't hard to imagine that happening with these pens. Lovely. One day I'll own one. Number 5 is killing me!

Fantastic! How many long slenders have you seen?

I have still to find one (and a Canadian gold banded!)

A bunch.

 

The Canadian pen with wide cap-band actually has the band as gold-filled metal, though I have seen solid gold.

Pardon the interruption for a meta-n00b question: how, upon examination, can you tell the difference between a gold-filled band and a solid gold band?

Solid gold cap-band carries a gold hallmark. Not so for GF.  GF trim on careful examination can show edge brassing, which-- if present-- argues as well against "solid". I suppose a solid band which lacked the hallmark could pose challenge.

10 is interesting, what length is it? Also is it stamped as a Pencopen or a Good Service?

Probably have one buried somewhere. Easy enough to make one if necessary...

Hi Hugh,

 

9 and 10 iirc both are Good Service marked, including nibs.

Yeah, good thing I had a spare of that. Of course, I no longer have a spare of that one...

Didn't know if i should post here or in my recent finds...though these were purchased and not found....

 

gallery_80583_401_495986.jpg

 

On the left is a Diamond Medal Vac in the large size.  This is a beautiful pen that is the centerpiece of my growing (and changing) collection...

 

On the right is the pen that parkercollector was refering to: the slender Golden Web Vacumatic.  It's basically the same size a standard 1st generation vac but skinny...

 

Thanks to David I for being a great business partner in these transactions!

Forum demarcation can be a bit arbitrary and can restrict range of thought.  Barring something silly (posting a Parker find in the Sheaffer forum) we try to leave a good degree of discretion to the writer ;)

 

Posting nice Golden Webs in this chat  about Golden Webs would seem to be reasonable.

 

A tidbit for the obsessive... it appears the pen at right  in Evan's shot in prior post was never called Golden Web by Parker. And, the pen at left had its plastic described as Golden Web, but... not by Parker.

What size is #6? The same as a long slender?

lengthwise they are just about the same. the subtle difference is due to the differences in the end of the cap and the bind cap.

 

interesting tidbit:  looking closely at the pens there is a difference in the celluloid--the "mortar" between the gold bricks on the parker pen is thicker than on the diamond medal. it makes the parker pen look darker.  David--have you seen the same variation on the different parker pens or the different diamond medal pens?  i am trying to ascertain if the materials while essentially the same are actually different on purpose versus this just being a variation of material lots from the celluloid supplier.

#6 essentially is the size of a Standard Vacumatic or Challenger. As fat as the Junior (proper) Parker Vacumatic (#1) and at least as long as the 'long' Slender Junior #2. Probably a bit longer.

 

It is of course, formally, not a Parker. Or is it?
