1. 1920s Parker Duofold Jr. Streamlined (Lapis Blue, button filler, XF 14k Parker Duofold nib). Measures a hair under 4 ˝” capped and a comfortable 5 5/8” posted. Of thicker girth than most junior sized pens. Proper “Parker Duofold Pen” nib lays down a smooth and consistent XF line. More of a semi-flex nib than the nails one typically finds on these pens.
Condition: Fully restored with new sac installed in the last month. Guaranteed to fill and write as designed without leaks or other issues. No chips, cracks, or personal engravings, bent or misaligned tines, missing/mismatched parts, or threading problems. Beautiful Lapis Blue/white fleck color is unusually bright and even across the barrel and cap (there is a slim band where the cap screws on that is ever so slightly darker). No cracks, personal engravings, or threading problems. The nib is straight and tines aligned. No brassing but for the typical spot on the clip ball and perhaps 5% high point wear on the top edge of the top cap band and bottom edge on the bottom cap band. Hard rubber section and endcaps are nice and black without oxidation.
Price: $155 shipped SOLD

2. 1938 Vacumatic Junior (grey marble, double-jewel, standard girth, nickel-plated trim, lockdown filler, EF nib). The early, lockdown filling Vac Juniors are scarcer than the later plastic-filler Jrs, being heavier, more solid-feeling pens as well. Capped length is 4 7/8" – comparable to a Pelikan 400. Proper monotone 14k Parker Vac arrow nib lays down a smooth EF line.
Condition: Fully restored with new diaphragm in the past year. Lockdown filler is fully functional, locks into position, and is free of unsightly wear. Color is excellent and even across the barrel and cap. Just realized I've had this pen for years and never properly cleaned the inside of the barrel. After a run through the ultrasonic, it now has pretty good transparency (see photo). Nickel plated trim is better than most on this model. No underlying brass is visible, but some microscratches dull the original luster. Deep imprint and date code are fully legible. A clean pen and a solid writer, which I had in my collection for some time before chancing upon another that was nearly NOS.
[B]Price: $140 $130 shipped SOLD
Order, Payment, & Guarantee: Pens are placed on hold for the first person to PM me with firm request to purchase. But if I haven't received Paypal payment within 24 hrs, then they become available to the next person. All my pens are guaranteed to be in the condition in which I've described them. My descriptions are more detailed than most because it's important to me that the buyer knows exactly what s/he is getting. But if I've missed something or the filling mechanism is not fully functional, the buyer may contact me up to 7 days after receiving the pen for a full refund. I've sold pens online for nearly a decade. Please check my past listings here as well as on the classifieds and historical sales forums on FPN (username: Estragon) for some of my previous offerings.
