Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen
Product Name Parkette Zephyr
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA - circa 1940 (The Zephyr was officially launched in 1940, but was already being phased out in 1941. The nib also has a "0" on it).
Length 5-1/16"
Filling System Lever filler. We've replaced the sac and it's working very well.
Color Brown marble colored body with gold plated trim.
Nib FINE semi-flexible Parkette 14k nib. It's got nice tipping, and feels smooth. The nib has a fair amount of give for line variation potential.
Condition Excellent condition. There is a tiny dent next to the clip, but the clip and lever only have the slightest amount of brassing on their sides. The cap ring has no brassing. The demonstrator section (called the Visiometer ink vue) is still transparent and the nib has a tiny dent right above the section and level with the 0 on the nib. No cracks in the cap lip or barrel threads. It's restored and working very well, and the imprints are sharp and crisp
