Pen Resurrection Sunday Ep 141 1942 Parker Vacumatic Debutante Emerald Pearl

THIS PEN HAS BEEN SOLD! ERRATA: I made an error measuring ink capacity. I failed to press TARE on the scale and then read the result as 0.91 ml of ink. The funny part is, I re-measured, and the correct capacity is WAIT FOR IT!!!.... 0.91 ml of ink. Sue me! Today's dead fountain pen on the slab, ready for resurrection, is a 1942 Parker Vacumatic Debutante in Emerald Pearl celluloid.
