For those of you who want an example of the legendary Ripley's Vacumatic in the worst way, here's your pen. It's a Ripley, with the blue transparent stripes and that's about all you can say for it.

As is the case with the majority of these pens, the cap had come apart just below the clip and has been rather sloppily glued back together. For now it's in one piece.

The nib looks to be later than the pen, as does the blind cap.

If you are mad enough to want to use the pen it would need a new diaphragm. (PA3490)
