Condition (n.b.): All pens listed below have been disassembled, cleaned, and restored with new sacs in the past months. Each is guaranteed to fill and write as designed without leaks or other issues. These pens have no cracks, chips, personal engravings, missing parts, bent nibs, misaligned tines, or threading issues. Note also, some of the nibs show ink residue as the pens were inked for the writing samples – will flush before shipment.
1. Parker Duofold Senior (black celluloid, GPT, button filler, 14k F Stub nib). Measures 5 1/2” capped. Lucky Curve X-mas tree feed. Proper 14k Duofold nib lays down a smooth and consistent F line on the downstroke and EF on the cross-stroke (see writing sample). Not sure if it was intended to be a stub from the factory and the line variation is somewhat subtle, but it's equivalent to a couple Binder stub grinds in my collection and the writing sample is representative. Condition: No brassing to the trim but for the typical spots on the clip ball and washer. Deep, fully-legible imprint. Smooth, lustrous finish with no deep scratches. A collector-grade example.
Price: $210 SOLD
2. Parker Duofold Senior “Big Red” (red celluloid, GPT, button filler, 14k F nib). Measures 5 1/2” capped. Lucky Curve X-mas tree feed. Proper 14k Duofold nib lays down a smooth and consistent F line (see writing sample). Condition: No brassing to the trim but for the typical spots on the clip ball and washer. It appears the factory forgot to grind off a couple burrs on the edges of the breather hole, which can be seen in the photos – no cracks or toolmarks present. Deep, fully-legible imprint. Smooth, lustrous finish with no deep scratches. Another very well-preserved pen.
Price: $190 SOLD
3. Parker Duofold Junior (black celluloid, GPT, button filler, 14k F semi-flex nib). Measures 4 5/8” capped and 5 3/4” posted. Later, comb feed that carried over to the streamlined models. Proper 14k Duofold nib lays down a smooth and consistent F line, with semi-flex variation under moderate pressure (see writing sample). Condition: Brassing to the clip ball, washer, and a sliver on the bottom of the cap band 2/3 around (see side shot photos). Cap band spins, but rests securely in its groove. Deep, fully-legible imprint aside from the letters ‘UOFOL’ in ‘DUOFOLD’, which are covered in a residue I didn't polish off for sake of preserving the imprint. Smooth, lustrous finish with no deep scratches.
Price: $115
4. Parker Duofold Junior (red celluloid, GPT, button filler, 14k EF). Measures 4 5/8” capped and 5 3/4” posted. Lucky Curve X-mas tree feed. Proper 14k Duofold nib lays down a smooth and consistent EF line (see writing sample). Apologies for the ink residue on the nib in the photos. Condition: No brassing to the trim but for the typical spots on the clip ball, washer, and a couple very thin slivers to the bottom edge of the cap band on the back of the cap (see 2nd side shot). Some wear to "Lucky Curve" part of the imprint, but still fully legible. Smooth, lustrous finish with no deep scratches.
Price: $135 SOLD
