The Vacuum Filler was part of a brief name change between the elusive Golden Arrow (July–November 1932) and the subsequent Vacumatic.
Vacuum Fillers exist with two or three cap bands and with either a clip or a ring top. Three sizes were produced:
Colours included Black, Grey and Red. The Junior was also produced in a transparent model known as the Crystal. It resembled a Demonstrator but was part of the regular line. True demonstrators are also known.
Grey pens had nickel trim. Other colours featured gold-filled trim — a feature that continued throughout the Vacumatic line.
Very rare Crystal Vacuum Fillers exist with “opposite” nickel trim.
In late spring 1933 a transparent red/black/blue laminated model was introduced. It likely remained in production for only a few weeks. These pens have wider stripes and black blind caps and sections. Some examples carry the later Vacumatic imprint.
Black, grey and red Standard Vacuum Fillers. The fourth pen is the rare red/black/blue laminated version with broader stripes and black section.
The first transparent Vacuum Filler (back lit).
Junior sized Vacuum Fillers: black opaque, crystal, rare crystal with opposite trim, grey opaque and red opaque.
Sub-Junior models are shorter but not slimmer. They exist with clips or ring tops. Transitional Vacumatic-imprinted versions exist.

Only the Vacuum Filler nib was originally fitted to these pens, but nibs are commonly replaced and many surviving examples have factory replacement nibs.
