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.
