View Large Image

Made around 1920, this hard-rubber Parker Duofold Jr. desk pen is in nearly mint condition. The imprint is practically perfect, except for fading out on the very far right side. The "Lucky Curve" inkfeed appears to have been replaced, BUT it was replaced with a straight "Christmas Tree" feed. The 14k nib writes a fine to fine-medium line. The tail is in perfect condition, and there is no brassing on its gold ring. The gold button shows no brassing, either. The pen base has no chips or cracks that we can see. The felt on the bottom appears to have been replaced. The pen holder is a chocolatey brown but in good working order. This pen has been fully restored and works wonderfully. The pen measures 19cm, and the base measures 15cm X 9cm X 2cm.

Era: 1910-1919

Price: $375.00
SOLD!

View Large Image

A remarkable gold-filled lady's pen and pencil set, these Parkers predate the Duofold, despite the similarity in design. Both writing instruments show only minor surface wear, and the guilloche pattern runs the length of the pen and pencil. The pen is in complete working order and includes its original nib and intact Lucky Curve Christmas tree inkfeed. The pen has not been resaced, as it is unlikely anyone would want to treat it as anything other than a collector piece. Nonetheless, the barrel and section have been cleaned and prepared for a sac should you request one. The pencil's lead advancing mechanism needs work we are unable to provide. The capped pen measures 8.5cm, and the pencil measures 8.8cm. Contact us for additional pictures.

Vintage Pens: 0013 Sheaffer Lifetime Triumph

Price: $99.00

View Large Image

A daily user, this unrestored pen (c. 1942) is still in working order. The 2-tone, 14K nib writes a fine line and seeps a little if touched where the nib meets the body. The body’s color shifts with the light between grey and sea-green. The body itself has a sharp imprint and no major wear. Yet the nickel-plated trim on the cap shows scratching and brassing. It is a nice pen, but we wanted the buyer to be fully aware of its condition to the best of our knowledge. 13 cm capped.

Vintage Pens: 0012 Sheaffer Lifetime Valiant
Era: 1950-1959

Price: $159.00

In near mint condition, this pen would be perfect except for a 4mm-long nick across the back of the Touchdown filler. Crisp imprint. The 2-tone, 14K nib writes a smooth fine line. Inside, the sac and O-ring have been replaced. The tube covering the sac (not the pneumatic filling mechanism) has some rust, which has been treated and shouldn’t pose any problem. 13.2 cm capped.
