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:$1,850
 
 
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:$285
 
 
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.

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

Comments:This RHR Duofold has a great sharp imprint with medium or small "Duofold" mark.  There is no brassing on either the clip or raised cap band.   A very clean pen with no oxidation on the black hard rubber derby, blind cap, or section.  Red Hard Rubber Duofolds of any size are hard to find, especially with sharp imprints and no cap lip cracks.  This is a fine example of a desirable pen.
Price:$195

Comments:        
A classic design in rich brown pearl color.  No brassing on clip or cap band.  Pointy black cap jewel.  Good imprint with "45" date code.  Barrel has typical ambering, but clear enough to see ink level.  A good pen that is sure to please the new collector or anyone that wants a great example of the classic final Vac series.

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 1940'S DUOFOLD SENIOR ca. 3rd Qtr 1940
 


Model:
Parker 1940's Senior Duofold in Blue/Gray/Black stripe ca. 3rd qtr 1940.  This is a scarce model with barrel tassie.
Grade:
Excellent +
Nib Width:
Smooth Fine nib marked "Parker Pen USA."
Length Capped:
5 3/8"
Comments:        
This senior 1940's Duofold is of the same quality as the Vacumatic, but many find them more interesting. This pen features the barrel tassie, which was only made for one year.  The cap has three cap bands, also a less common variant.  The pen is as long as a Maxima and is the largest size made in this design.  There is brassing on the tassie, nowhere else.  A very classy pen, that is quite hard to find in this configuration.
Price:
Was $230 NOW $210
 
 
PARKER 51 COMBINATION PEN PENCIL ca. 2009 Made by Ariel Kullock in Argentina
 
 

Model:
Parker 51 Aerometric filling combo!  How cool is this!  That Argentinian wizard Ariel Kullock has outdone himself! 
Grade:
Mint (filling unit, feed, collector and cap are from a used pen.)  Plastic parts and nib are brand new.
Nib Width:
Smooth Fine
Length Capped:
5 5/8"
Comments:        
I am a combo collector, and nearly flipped when I saw this at the DC Show.  I have one I use every day and its great. Even with the length, the combo fits perfectly in my shirt pocket.  I've added a gorgeous continuous line gold filled 51 cap that is perfect, no brassing, no dings, etc.  The pencil takes 1.1mm lead, that's still available from the Autopoint website, I believe.  This one is in Argentinian "Cocoa" a bit lighter than the original US color, but still very nice.
Price:
$135

Forest Green is one of the less common Aerometric colors.  The set is in excellent shape, with little signs of wear.  The pen cap has a couple of pin prick dings, the pencil is free of dings.  There is a bit of brassing on the edge of the cap lip.

Parker 51 Aerometric with converging line GF cap in Bexley Green Swirl Hard Rubber
Grade:
Excellent +
Nib Width:
Smooth Fine/XFine 14k
Length Capped:
5 9/16"
Comments:        
A classic 51 clothed in wonderful swirl hard rubber custom made by Bexley Pen Company in the early 2000's.  Long unavailable, Howard Levy of Bexley found a few barrels and shells which he made available to me.  We have installed the hard rubber shell and barrel on a 51 Aerometric assembly.  We've mated the pen to a wonderful English made 1/10 12CT R. Gold cap with deep converging lines.  This cap's converging lines are much deeper and distinctive than found on the American version.  There are no dents or dings in the cap and no brassing on the cap or clip.  This will make a great daily user for someone who wants to experience the warm feel of hard rubber on a Parker 51.  Note:  This pen is equipped with a matching shell-its the only one we have like this.
Price:
$165

PARKER 1ST YEAR JOTTER ca. 1954


Model:
Parker 1st Year Jotter ca. 1954
Grade:
Excellent
Nib Width:
n/a
Length Capped:
5"
Comments:        
Parker sold the first Jotter in 1954 and it has become the most popular ballpoint and perhaps the most popular pen of all time.  These early 1st Year Jotters have a nylon barrel with deep grooves and no metal cone on the tip.  They also sport an "inverted V" clip, unique to the first year design.  Both examples are in excellent condition.  Recently these can be found for sale on ebay for $75.  Our price is much lower.
Price:
Black $40  Gray $50
