Product Description
Type Vintage button filling fountain pen in a hard to find color.
Product Name Duofold, Senior,
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- circa 1929 (it has a 1929 style imprint, that was the first year of the streamline pens, so this might be one of the last of the "straight" mandarin Duofolds).
Length Just over 5-9/16" inches.
Filling System Button filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Mandarin Yellow brightly colored body and cap with gold filled trim and two thin cap bands.
Nib Medium-fine (like a modern fine) gold Parker Duofold Pen nib is quite large. It has a "B" imprint that might indicate where it was made.
Condition Supeior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large, fat pen in a bright, shiny color and with a classic design. The color is consistent throughout with no fading or darkening. The cap and barrel have light wear which is hard to see on this color. The trim rings have plating wear along the edges. The clip is nice and shiny with just a spot of plating wear on the ball. The imprints are clear.
