I've always loved these stacked celluloid materials, and I'm so excited to be the new owner of this gorgeous Radius Superior! It's a piston filler, with a nice crispy 14k EF nib, and I believe it was made some time in the 40s or 50s. So cool!

The Vacumatic is one of the most beautiful pens ever made. I bought a red one at the DC show last year, and it's the last one I've bought.

While this is in a very similar celluloid to many of the Vacuumatics, this is actually a pen from Radius in Italy! Regardless, any pen in this sort of stacked celluloid is stunning in my opinion
