PARKER 15 ca. 1903-06
 


Model:

#15 Black Hard Rubber Red Abalone Slabs Gold Fill Filigree ca. 1903-06

Grade:Excellent to Excellent +
Nib Width:Fine. Marked "Parker Lucky Curve Pen 3."
Length Capped:5 1/4"
Comments:Perhaps the most interesting and important Parker I have had the pleasure to find!  The pen is a correct early version with a rounded cap top as opposed to the later flat-top versions. An advertisement showing this pen can be found in Bowen's "Collectible Fountain Pens" 1996 on page 32. The pen is very clean with no damage, especially to the slabs which are tight with no cracks.  There appears no wear to the gold filled filigree or bands and no oxidation to the rubber.  No dents or dings either.  The only flaw is the fact that the irridium on one of the tines on the nib appears to be partially gone.  As a result, the nib is not smooth.  This, however, does not detract from the attractiveness of the pen.  The cap is marked "Parker Fountain Pen Pat. 6-30-91 1-3-05."  The abalone slabs have a wonderful iridescence that my picture does not do justice.
Price:WAS $1,850 NOW $1,675 SOLD
 
 
PARKER SENIOR DUOFOLD SET ca. 1928-29
 

 
 
Model:
Parker Senior Duofold BIG RED fountain pen and matching pencil with box ca. 1928-29
Grade:
Excellent to Excellent +
Nib Width:
Broad stub-like smooth nib marked "Parker Duofold Pen P."
Length Capped:
5 1/2" pen, 5 9/16" pencil
Comments:
This Parker Duofold set comes complete with its Lizard pattern box.  Both the pen and pencil are in great condition with sharp molton imprints, and brassing only on the pen clip ball, none elsewhere.  The box is also in excellent condition, with just a tiny bit of corner edge wear.  The pencil works as designed, propelling and retracting lead properly. As is the case with virtually all of these Duofold pencils, the derby has a slight push on its top, but its hard to see and is far better than most.  Finding a pen and pencil in the box in this condition is hard and its only the second one we've had.
Price:
$425 SOLD
 
 
PARKER SENIOR DUOFOLD BLACK HARD RUBBER ca. 1923
 

 
 
Model:
Parker Black Hard Rubber Senior Duofold ca. 1923
Grade:
Excellent to Excellent +
Nib Width:
Smooth Broad stub-like nib marked "Parker Duofold Pen p"
Length Capped:
5 9/16"
Comments:
Parker Duofolds in Black Hard Rubber are significantly less common than all of the other colors.  This is an outstanding example with virtually no oxidation, and little signs of use.  The medium Duofold imprint is very sharp and only the words "Lucky Curve" in the banner are light, due to a light strike, not wear.  Just a tiny amount of brassing on the clip ball, none elsewhere.  A great pen for the Parker collector. 
Price:
$295
 
 
PARKER SENIOR DUOFOLD  ca. 1926-28


Model:

Duofold Sr. in Red Permanite with Raised Cap Band ca. 1926-28

Grade:Excellent to Excellent +
Nib Width:Smooth Fine/Medium. Nib is marked "Parker Duofold Pen P."
Length Capped:5 1/2"
Comments:This Duofold has the correct Xmas Tree feed.  The clip and cap band have been gold plated.  There is no sign of brassing under the plating, as both clip and band are smooth.  A very clean pen with no oxidation on the black hard rubber derby, blind cap, or section.  The imprint is sharp with the small size "Duofold" and Lucky Curve banner.  A nice clean pen with no flaws that we could find. 
Price:WAS $285 NOW $265 SOLD
 
 
PARKER DUOFOLD SENIOR STREAMLINE MANDARIN ca. 1929-30
 
 
Model
Duofold Sr. Streamline in Mandarin ca. 1929-30
Grade: Extra Fine to Excellent -
Nib Width:
Smooth X-Fine later Duofold style 
Length Capped:
5"
Comments:                          
Mandarin Duofolds are highly sought after and finding one without cap lip or other cracks can be difficult.  This example does not have any cracks. There is no brassing on the clip and just a very fine line on the bottom cap band.  The barrel is slightly darker than the cap, a common accurance.  The imprint is mostly gone and a name has been removed.  While these issues affect the value, this is still a desirable, hard to find pen.  Without these issues, this would be a $800-$900 pen. However, our price reflects its condition and we believe it represents a good value.

Was $565 NOW $535 FURTHER REDUCED TO $495
 
 
PARKER DUOFOLD SR. STREAMLINE ca. 1931
 


Model:

Duofold Sr. Streamline in Burgundy Permanite ca. 1931

Grade:Excellent to Excellent +
Nib Width:Smooth Fine. This is the later Arrow style nib. Pen is equipped with the later comb feed.
Length Capped:5 1/16"
Comments:This Duofold has the correct non-Lucky Curve imprint (very sharp).  The clip ball is brassed, but the cap bands are not.  A very clean pen with no oxidation on the black hard rubber derby, blind cap, or section.  The Burgundy and Black color appears brighter than on many examples of this model.  Many feel that the later nib and feed combination on this pen makes for a much better writer than the earlier nib with "spear" feed.  So if you are looking for a writer, this may be better for you. 
Price:$245
 

PARKER VACUMATIC MAJOR 2 JEWEL 4th Quarter 1940


 
 
Model:
Vacumatic 2 Jewel Major ca. 4th qtr 1940, Brown Pearl
Grade:
Excellent + 
Nib Width:
Smooth Accountant width, correct Arrow style nib. 
Length Capped:
5 1/16"
Comments:        
A classic design in rich brown pearl color.  No brassing on clip, tassie, or cap band.  Pointy cap jewel and pointy correct "bullseye" barrel jewel.  Strong imprint with "0" date code.  Correct aluminum speedline filler.  Barrel has light ambering, but clear enough to see ink level.  Double jewel Major style Vacs are far scarcer than the single jewel version.  A nice pen that is sure to please the newer collector or anyone that wants a great example of the classic final Vac series that still included the soon to be discontinued barrel jewel.
Price:
$145 SOLD
 
 
PARKER VACUUM FILLER JUNIOR "CRYSTAL" ca. 1933
 
 
 

Model:
Vacuum Filler Jr. with transparent "Crystal" barrel
Grade:
Excellent
Nib Width:
Correct 14k smooth medium width nib marked "Vacuum Filler Made in USA."
Length Capped:
4 7/8"
Comments:        
One of the most sought after Vac models. relatively hard to find, especially with the transparent "Crystal" barrel.  As is usually the case, the barrel color is ambered, but one can still see the filler tube and how much ink is left in the barrel.  Excellent clear imprint unlike most Vacuum Fillers, which have weak, bearly visable ones.  Thin line of brassing on the tassie and also brassing on the clip arrow tip.  A couple of light teeth marks on the blind cap.  This is a must have for the serious Vacumatic collector.
Price:
$235
 
 
PARKER 51 HERITAGE 14K TRIM ca. 3rd Quarter 1946



Model:
Parker 51 Vacumatic filling with hard to find Heritage "Window Pane" gold filled cap and 14k clip and tassie.
Grade:
Excellent + 
Nib Width:
Smooth Medium
Length Capped:
5 7/16"
Comments:        
This 51 has a lot going for it.  The clutch still retains most of its gold wash, and the pen's imprint is molten sharp.  The cap is marked "1/8 14K Gold Filled Made in USA."  The Heritage cap and 14k clip and tassie make this a very desirable version of the ever-popular 51 model. 
Price:
$395 SOLD
 
 
PARKER 51 AEROMETRIC NAVY GRAY with STUB nib ca. 1950
 


Model:
Parker 51 Aerometric Navy Gray with perfect Lusterloy cap
Grade:
Excellent + to Near Mint
Nib Width:
Smooth original factory STUB nib
Length Capped:
5 1/2"
Comments:        
Stub nibbed 51's are exceedingly scarce.  One might find one out of 100 equipped with a factory stub nib.  The cap retains all of its frosty finish and is set off by the bright cap band.  If you have been looking for a stub nib 51, this is it.  They don't get much nicer than this one.
Price:
$185 SOLD

Excellent to Excellent +
Nib Width:
Smooth Fine/Medium 14k

In 1956, Parker introduced the revolutionary 61, which used capillary action to fill the pen.  This is a scarce model made for less than one year.  Its equipped with a "First Edition" cartouche attached to the cap, as shown in the picture. If you are a 61 collector and are lacking a first year model, now is your chance to pick up a nice one.
Price:
$135 SOLD
