Hi all,
I thought I would offer some Parker Duofolds this weekend. All of them
have been restored inside and out and are ready to use.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please E-mail me at:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
Pen #1. ~SOLD~ to C.C.
c. 1946 Parker Duofold New Style, blue pearl and black, made in
England. The nib is a smooth Broad Oblique. It makes about a .8 mm
line at the widest and is a wet writer. This pen is a button fill and
the brass button is just like the ones used in earlier Parker
Duofolds. The high edges on the tip of the clip have some brassing and
so does the outside edge of the tassi on the blind cap. Capped the pen
measures 5 1/8 inches or 12.6 cm. These are fairly hard to find pens
in any color.
~SOLD~ to C.C. $230.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. c. 1930 Parker Duofold Sr. Streamline in Moderne Black and Pearl.
The barrel of the pen has some ambering. The color in the cap is
very nice. The pen has a few little nicks and scratches, but a fairly
nice overall shine. Also, there is brassing across the ball of the clip.
I replaced the ink sac with a silicone sac, in hopes of preventing the
barrel from discoloring further. The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine
14K Duofold. The pencil has great, near near mint color. There are
some small scratches in a tiny area on the top cap band, on one side.
It has typical brassing across the ball of the clip. It has one small ding
on the top edge of the cone/nozzle. The pencil functions as it should.
Price $375.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

3. 1932 Parker Duofold Streamline Senior in Sea Green
(with black veining). I have been told that this color is harder to
find than Mandarin Yellow and I believe that. They do not turn up
very often and it took me some time to find a couple of Juniors this
color to include in my own collection. This color of Duofold was only
made for about a year, possibly two years. I know it does not appear
in the 1934 Parker catalog, in the Duofold line. There is no brassing
on the trim and the color is exceptional. Most of the examples I have
and have seen in this color have some degree of discoloration. This
one has none that I can detect. Also, in the photo that shows the
filler button you can see the price sticker is still on the blind cap.
The sticker has either a letter or a number, which I cannot quite read
and "57" then "Med." and I think "10.00". The two things that might be
a minus are the barrel is imprinted with the name "Dr. F. Neuhoff".
The name imprint is rather subtle. I'm just mentioning it for full
disclosure. Also, I noticed that the imprint on the nib is a bit
light, like it was over polished. I suspect that the over polishing
was done at the factory, but I can't say for sure. The nib is a very
smooth writing Medium 14K Duofold and has a bit of a stub-ish effect.
It's a nice wet writer and I got some line variation with it. The barrel
imprint is deep and the letters are sharp edged. The overall condition
of the pen is Excellent.
Price reduced to $550.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

Rules, Shipping, Etc.
The usual rules apply, the person sending the first e-mail on an item
~stating intent to purchase~ gets the item. I will give you 5 days to
decide if you like the pen or not. I prefer payment by PayPal but also
accept checks or money orders in USD. I can only accept payment by
PayPal from countries outside the U.S. I ship worldwide, so
international customers are always welcome.
Prices are post paid in the U.S., and will be shipped with a tracking
number and insurance. I normally ship inside the U.S. by U.S.
Postal Service Priority Mail. I can also ship to other countries by
Priority Mail, but I prefer to ship by Express International Mail. I
have to charge by Express International Mail, depending on which
country the item will be sent to, but it can be insured and can
usually be tracked online.
Return Policy: I will always allow pens, or other items, to be
returned. f there is a problem I would prefer the chance to fix the problem
or replace the item, when and if possible. Otherwise a full refund
will be offered. If you find a problem and choose to send the item
(pen, mechanical pencil, etc.) to someone else to be corrected, I will
not be responsible for any other problems.
Happy penning!
