In 2003 the Bexley Pen Company (the only pen company in the U.S. that still manufacturers pens here) celebrated its 10th anniversary.  To honor that event, the Company issued a limited edition pen that was identical to the two pens above.  The limited edition was engraved indicating the Anniversary date.  These pens are not engraved but are the same colors and style used in the 10th Anniversary edition.  These are gorgeous pens and will not be available again.  They fill with cartridges or the included converter.
Price:
MSRP in 2003 was approximately $350 for the pens with gold nibs.  My price is just $65 each for the steel nib pens.  Yellow pens have black sections, Green is sold out.  Why pay $100 or more for one of these beauties?  Box and warranty cards included.

PARKER DUOFOLD INTERNATIONAL Custom Design

Model:

PARKER DUOFOLD INTERNATIONAL Customized by a Parker employee in Janesville WI 
Grade:Mint, NOS, Brand New
Nib Width:
One with smooth Extra Fine and two with Medium 18k Parker nibs
Length Capped:
5 3/8"
Comments:                  
This Parker Duofold International was fabricated at the Janesville Plant before it closed down.  It is unique and we believe we have the last available, ever.  Very few of these were made, probably less than a dozen.  We have just three available.  The pen will make a great writer and is a sure attention getter.
Price:
$275

 

PARKER DUOFOLD INTERNATIONAL Unusual, scarce logo!

Model:

PARKER DUOFOLD INTERNATIONAL Black and Pearl  with logo used for very short time
Grade:Mint, NOS, Brand New
Nib Width:
18K smooth Fine Parker nib
Length Capped:
5 3/8"
Comments:                  
For a very limited time, Parker UK where these pens were manufactured, changed the Parker logo to an "ace of spades" like configuration.  The logo is on the nib and on the top of the cap derby.  This logo was used for less than a year and pens with it are very scarce.  Parker soon changed back to the more familiar "arrow" style.  Will these pens with the odd logo become desirable collectibles? Who knows.  But we do know that they are handsome, iconic black and pearl Parker modern Duofolds.  Complete with converter. 
Price:
$265

 

PARKER ELLIPSE

Model:

PARKER Ellipse in copper lacque
Grade:Mint, NOS, Brand New
Nib Width:
Smooth Medium 18k Parker nib
Length Capped:
5 3/4"
Comments:                  
This Parker Ellipse was never given the attention it deserved and was on the market for just three years, 2000-2003.   Its modern design sets it apart from the more conventional and conservative Parker designs. The pen is made of brass with lacquer finish.  A very handsome and under appreciated pen that will be a great writer. Comes with converter.
Price:
Original MSRP was $210, our price is just $145 SOLD

 

OMAS ARTE ITALIANA PARAGON ca. 2000

 

Model:
Omas Paragon ca. 2000
Grade:
Excellent +
Nib Width:
Ultra smooth Medium  
Length Capped:
5 3/8"
Comments:
OMAS is known for manufacturing very high quality pens.  This one is no exception.  This piston filling mechanism works flawlessly.  The pen seems to have had minimal usage.  In 2000, this pen listed for $425 and the current models sell for well over $700 and are not nearly as nice.  A superb pen just waiting to be enjoyed by its new owner.
Price:
$250  SOLD
