Representing one of Parker’s most enduring designs from the golden age of American fountain pens, this impressive Senior-size Duofold combines the distinctive Streamline silhouette with rich, contrasting celluloid coloration, elegant gold-filled trim, and a classic 14K gold Parker nib. Exceptionally well preserved and carefully restored, this is a wonderful example of a vintage Duofold that remains as appealing to the collector as it is ready for its next chapter of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Senior Streamline Duofold has a commanding yet graceful presence, with its gently tapered profile and substantial proportions reflecting the design language 1931 to 1933 with Canadian product going into 1934. The Burgundy-Black Celluloid is particularly attractive, displaying rich, vibrant color that gives the pen depth and character. The cap, barrel, and blind cap are in magnificent condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The original-style gold-filled Parker clip and cap banding retain their rich gold color, displaying a bright, polished appearance with no apparent brassing. The barrel imprint reads “GEO. S. PARKER PARKER DUOFOLD FOUNTAIN PEN MADE IN U.S.A.” and presents beautifully. There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Parker has been carefully disassembled and restored, with a new, properly sized latex sac installed to renew the button-filling system. The nib, feed, and section were ultrasonically cleaned, while the gold-filled Parker clip, cap banding, and 14K Duofold nib were hand-polished. The cap, barrel, and blind cap were cleaned, buffed, and polished to refresh the celluloid’s color and luster while preserving the beauty of the original material. The button-filling mechanism has been tested with water and fills as intended. The result is a thoughtfully restored vintage writing instrument that combines its exceptional original presentation with dependable mechanical function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen is fitted with a 14K gold Parker Duofold nib, with tipping measuring approximately 0.82 mm when checked with digital calipers. Its writing character offers a range, from an extra-fine line measuring approximately 0.40 mm to a medium line measuring approximately 0.76 mm under medium to firm pressure. The writing sample shown was produced with this actual pen by dipping the nib in Pelikan Royal Blue ink. This is a notably firm, rigid-writing nib, with tactile feedback on paper rather than the softness or flex associated with some earlier vintage nibs. For collectors who appreciate a controlled, precise writing experience, this is an important characteristic to understand and enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Senior-size Streamline Duofold measures approximately 5 1\/8 inches capped and 6 3\/8 inches posted, with a comfortable weight of 0.74 ounces. Its generous posted length, beautifully tapered profile, rich Burgundy-Black Celluloid, and polished gold-filled trim make it a striking presence in the hand or in a collection. The overall proportions give this Parker the substantial feel expected of a Senior model without sacrificing the elegance that distinguishes the Streamline design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Excellent+. The outstanding condition of the cap, barrel, and blind cap, the vibrant celluloid coloration, the attractive gold-filled trim, and the careful restoration make this a particularly appealing vintage Parker Senior Duofold. With its renewed sac, tested button-filling system, and 14K gold nib, it is ready to be enjoyed as a writing instrument or appreciated as part of a collection devoted to Parker’s classic Duofold line. A handsome and characterful example of early-1930s American pen design, this Burgundy-Black Senior Streamline Duofold offers a compelling combination of vintage elegance, careful restoration, and enduring collector appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49347803414836,"sku":null,"price":485.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/1932ParkerSeniorStreamlineBurgundyBlackDuofoldFountainPen1.jpg?v=1793057124","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/products\/1932-parker-senior-streamline-duofold-burgundy-black-fountain-pen-restored","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
