Product Description
Type Very small ring-top button filling version of the Parker Jack Knife button "Safety Pen."
Product Name In the Lambrou book this pen is just identified as a Jack Knife Safety Pen in vest pocket size. It could be a model 20 1/2 though it is not marked. The marks say "Parker Fountain Pen - Gold Filled Patented" on the edge of the cap.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA – circa 1920s.
Length Just barely over 3-5/16" not counting the ring top hardware.
Filling System Button filler. We've replaced the sac and it's working very well.
Color Gold filled finish, top to bottom, even the section is gold filled. This is a smooth version of gold filled with no engravings or decoration, just a few bands of grip around it.
Nib FULL FLEX FINE gold nib marked Parker Pen Lucky Curve. It's smooth with nice tipping. This is what we would call fully flexible, close to a wet noodle. The line varies really easily from fine to double broad with the lightest touch. Gorgeous nib. See writing sample below.
Condition Near mint condition. There's one tiny, very light impression on the section, but otherwise no dents or dings. We couldn't find a single spot of brassing or plating wear, just very light handwear. No cracks or chips, no personalization. It's fully restored and working very well.
