Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1926 Parker Flattop Lucky Curve Senior Duofold Fountain Pen in Red Permanite as known by most  -"BIG RED". This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, put back together, and is now in fantastic writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the nib, feed, and section. I replaced the old sac with a new rubber sac. I hand polished the Gold-Filled Parker Clip, Cap Banding, and 14K Duofold nib. I cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, blind cap, and cap to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the material of the fountain pen. This Parker Duofold is the Senior Size and measures 5 1/2" capped and 6 7/8" posted.

The fountain pen cap, barrel, and blind cap are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The Cap has a gold-filled Parker clip with "PARKER PAT SEPT 5-16" stamped and has been polished to shine brightly - there is only the very slightest of wear on the ball of the clip. The cap banding displays a rich gold filled color with no wear. The barrel is stamped with, "GEO. S. PARKER PARKER DUOFOLD FOUNTAIN PEN JANESVILLE, WIS LUCKY CURVE U.S.A. PAT. 4-25-11. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. The cap and barrel are super clean with no discoloration and consistent coloring between the cap and barrel.

This Parker Senior Duofold Lucky Curve Fountain Pen is made from permanite (a type of celluloid). This particular fountain pen due to the imprint and cap combination was manufactured from circa 1926 to 1927.

This Duofold is a Button Filler and has been tested with water and fills as it should. The filling unit operates as it was originally intended.

The Parker NIB is 14K with a PARKER DUOFOLD PEN imprint. The actual writing portion of the 14K Parker NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .88mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a medium to broad stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the medium line measures .65mm and ranges up to a broad, 1.00mm, line variation when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Black Ink. The nib writes very smoothly.

This is an Iconic vintage Parker Duofold Fountain Pen in the Senior size and is a gorgeous example from Parker that is very clean with a great writing nib. I would consider this Parker grade in Very Fine to Excellent Condition. It is ready to write or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
