4. ~SOLD~ to D.S.
1939 Parker Duofold Geometric aka Toothbrush in silver pearl and
black. These are typical Parker button fill pens. The barrel has some
discoloration. The cap band has a lot of small scratches on it and I
chemically welded a cap lip crack. This is the smaller of the two
versions and capped measures 4 5/8 inches or 11.2 cm. It has a smooth
writing Extra Fine 14K nib.
~SOLD~ to D.S. $99.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. ~SOLD~ to E.D.
1934? '44? Parker Raven in black permanite. When I was
doing the writing sample I was thinking this was one of the 1929 pens,
but I remembered that when I was polishing the pen I noticed a number
imprinted on the right end of the barrel imprint, a number 4, which is
either 1934 or '44 and I think the latter. It has a comb feed, too. I
know that they made some streamline pens in both '34 and 1944. I have
seen Duofold Seniors and Jr.'s that were made around that time. This
is the long bandless version. Capped it measures 4 15/16 inches or
12.5 cm. Before I started work on the pen, it appeared that it had not
been used very much. The clip has no brassing and the barrel imprint
is pretty nice.The nib is a smooth Semi-Flexible Fine 14K. I got some
line variation with it, but it takes some pressure to achieve a wider
line. I have always liked the bandless version of the Parker Raven, we
are so used to seeing old pens with bands on the caps that the
appearance of the bandless Raven is quite striking. These are slender
pens, about the diameter of a Lady Duofold, but a lot longer. This is
a button filling pen.
~SOLD~ to E.D. $135.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

6. circa 1930 Mabie Todd Swallow flat top fountain pen in cream and
black. There is some typical brassing across the ball on the clip and
the fill lever has a little bit of pitting, but is much, much better
than average. The barrel has some mild discoloration. This pen was
made in England. The nib is a Flexible Extra Fine, that takes moderate
pressure to spread the tines. It has a tendency to make railroad
tracks, if you apply too much pressure. The nib is marked marked M.T.
& Co. - 14 Ct. This is a long slender pen, capped it measures 5 3/16
inches or 13.1 cm.
Price $135.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
