Item description:

Up for sale is a beautiful set of PARKER DUETTE fountain pen and pencil. This set was made in USA (pen from CANADA, pencil USA). Produced primarily in the 1920s through the 1930s (including Great Depression-era budget lines, which means almost a century years old. The set is very well preserved, can fit as a valuable addition and would grace any collection. The fountain pen and pencil are in full perfect working and writing order. Fully inspected, cleaned, tested and ready for use. 

The green-grey marble with red particles color is great on both writing instruments, with no color fading or discoloration which is very common to celluloid from these times. Pencil has no leads inside, and the photo of barrel inscription is from the pencil (photo no.5).

The Parker Duette is a vintage fountain pen introduced by the Parker Pen Company during the 1920s and 1930s. It was often marketed as a more affordable or "Thrift Time" / Depression-era alternative to the iconic Parker Duofold, featuring a similar streamlined or flat-top style, gold-filled trim, and a 14k gold nib. Pen (capped) and pencil lengths are 123.5mm.

You are invited to take a look at my other items here some are rare and highly collectable.

This pen benefits from being fully serviced and ultrasonically cleaned. It was disassembled, fully inspected, cleaned and new ink sac was fitted, tested and ready for enjoyable use with your favorite ink, for many more years.
