Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Near Mint restored circa 1927 Parker Flat Top Senior Duofold Fountain Pen in very scarce clean Mandarin Yellow permanite material. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, a new sac installed, put back together, and is now in wonderful writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Replaced the old sac with a new, properly sized sac. I have hand-polished the gold-filled Parker clip, cap banding, and 14K Senior Duofold nib. I have cleaned and polished the barrel, blind cap, and cap. This Parker Duofold is the Flat Top Senior Size and measures 5 1/2" capped and 7" posted. The condition is exceptional on this rare Parker Senior Duofold!

The fountain pen cap, barrel, and blind cap are in near-perfect condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs to the mandarin yellow permanite material. The Cap has a gold-filled Parker Clip with PAT SEPT 5 - 16 stamped and has been polished to shine brightly. The cap banding displays a rich gold-filled color with no wear. The barrel has a crisp imprint stamped with, "GEO. S. 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 color of this Parker is exceptional - it will be hard to find a better color and condition in today's market.

This Duofold has a button-filling mechanism which I have tested with water and fills as it should.

This Duofold has a 14K Senior Duofold nib. The actual writing portion (iridium) of the 14K Parker NIB has a Fine point measuring roughly .58mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a fine stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the line ranges .51mm, to .60mm when measured with digital calipers. The pen has the proper "LuckyCurve" feed with the "LuckyCurve" portion intact, not cut off like most! 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 Blue Ink.

This is an Iconic vintage Parker Duofold Fountain Pen in the Senior size. It is a scarce Duofold due to the condition of the Mandarin permanite material not having any cracks or repairs. I would consider this Parker to grade in Near Mint Condition. Personally, I believe one will be hard-pressed to find another in this type of condition. The condition reflects the price and if you have been searching for one of these you know just how tough they are to find with perfect color, clean trim, with no cracks on the clip lip!
