Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen in excellent working condition ... a highly collectible pen.
Product Name Parker Duofold Senior
Manufacturer and Year Parker, USA - circa 1927 (the single cap band and middle size imprint is consistent with 1927, and it was around 1927 that the barrel threads changed to black, not yellow).
Length 5-1/2" inches
Filling System Button filler. Excellent restored filling system.
Color Bright yellow (Mandarin) body and cap with gold filled trim.
Nib Fine "Parker Duofold" style nib, HUGE, rather stiff. Writes very smoothly. Excellent tipping material.
Condition Great barrel and nib, but the cap has a few flaws. It is very hard to find pen without cap lip cracks, and this pen has a few in addition to some other shorts cracks on the cap. Please see the photos. Other light marks here and there on the plastic, but otherwise it is very smooth and unworn.
The trim is excellent, with no brassing except on the ball of the clip. The "Parker" on the clip is imprinted off-center.
No barrel cracks. We were able to open the pen for re-sacing, and there were no cracks.
No personalization.
