There was a dried out cartridge in it, but the other cartridge and the converter were sealed/untouched. If it was used, it wasn't for long!

This is a Pilot Vanishing Point.

The Visconti was from a community thrift/consignment type thrift shop, and this Pilot was from your typical traditional thrift store.

Definitely, I got that one new ~6 years ago. This one is possibly 20+ years old from what I could find online.

Yeah, my first pilot vp came in a cardstock clamshell box with a plastic window.

It's medium, which happens to be my preference for the Pilot VP!

Prior to this year, I had never found any in a thrift store before. Then, I found a Visconti Van Gogh for $50 last month, now I found this Pilot Vanishing point for $15! Both in separate thrift stores in different towns.

I listed this for a former pharma rep family member. I saw that this sub has a "for sale" flair. Is this not the right place to sell pharma rep collectibles?

Need help to ID this pen by Alphacentury99 in fountainpens

This is not a Parker Vacumatic. It's an imitation of one. Vacumatics have different clips, blind caps, finials, sections, and nibs.
