Product Description
Type Depression era button filling fountain pen, restored and working well.
Product Name This is from the Thrift Time pen series.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in U.S.A. -- 1935 (the nib date code is 45, indicating manufacture in the last quarter of 1935).
Length 4-13/16 inches.
Filling System Button filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Green marble with gold plated trim, three thin cap bands.
Nib FINE gold Parker Pen nib is smooth with nice tipping material. It's what we would call semi-flexible, with some minor line variation.
Condition Excellent condition. It's rather hard to find these "Thrift Time" pens without cracks and really bad plating wear, so this one is in better condition than we usually see. No cracks, dings, dents, or personalization. The clip and cap bands show some plating wear and brassing. The barrel and cap show some hand wear. We've fully restored the pen and it's working quite well.
