"To celebrate my day of days, a good vintage pen-collecting friend passed on this remarkable Parker 'Shadow Wave' set. It appears to be new old store stock from the late 1930s as the Parker date coding on the barrels indicates. Better still, it was gifted to me in the extremely attractive Parker Vacumatic 'Clam Shell' presentation box with suitable ephemera. This is a Second Generation Vacumatic Debutante set, thus it sports a Parker 'Speedline' filler. Being an unused set, the barrel of the fountain has brilliant transparency, and the overall condition of the pen and mechanical pencil is absolutely mint. Both writing instruments sport the new-at-the-time Parker 'Blue Diamond' warranty, and this fine set hails from the Canadian Parker works in Eastern Canada. In closing, I plan to be the first person to use this set on my up and coming birthday and will, in turn, add it gladly to my vintage pen collection."
Happy birthday (in advance), Christopher, and thanks for sharing your wonderful vintage Parker set with us!
