Parker Vacumatic
After returning the Sheaffer PFM I bought on eBay, with a very helpful seller, I now have my first Parker Vacumatic. I like it a lot. Filling is easy, it writes nicely, and looks beautiful. I also got a Parker/Silver Crane ceramic desk tidy, in almost perfect condition.
A new pen meant new ink, so I got myself a bottle of Diamine Teal. Nice colour.
I bought a Parker Vacumatic for my wife some years ago and she really enjoyed using it and it was a very beautiful pen, now sadly lost.
It’s a really distinctive pen and very elegant.
The colour swatches haven’t been updated. Could you please share a pic of how it writes with the Teal? Enjoy it in good health!

Hi Penny,
It’ll probably be a while before I get chance to add the new colours to the swatches – busy time of the year! If you’re registered on FPN, there’s a Diamine Teal Review with a sample. It’s a fairly dark blue-green.
I knew about the comment box, just didn’t know how to fix it – found out today, so that should be ok again now.
For some reason, this post seems to be a particular target for spam attempts, so I’m going to disable comments on it. I’ll probably turn them on again at some point, if I remember.
