Product Description
Type Vintage button filling fountain pen.
Product Name Duette Jr. fountain pen from one of the so-called "Thrift Time" series.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1932-34. Note that the nib is labeled Parkette and is from around 1938.
Length 4-1/2".
Filling System Button filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black and bronze marbled celluloid with gold plated trim, a thin cap band, and a metal clip-screw.
Nib MEDIUM gold nib is marked "Parkette Made In USA .18.", indicating that it was made in 1938. It's smooth with great tipping material and has just a little give to it. This nib is a replacement from the original.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The trim is all very brassed, which is normal for these models where they really economized on the plating. The imprint is worn but readable. We've fully restored it and it's working well.
