Model - #52V Set
Date - Mid 1930's Filling System - Lever Color - Persian (hard to find good color) Size -4 1/4" capped, 5 3/4" posted Note- Would not recommend posting due to the fragile nature of the black cap lip.

Beyond light desk/use wear, there are some marks/spots on the fountain pen section. Perhaps a reaction of the plastic sitting against the metal cap for 65 years....

Vintage Parker BHR Duofold Jr. Fountain Pen W/ 14K Semi-Flex Nib - Restored
Vintage Parker BHR Duofold Jr. Fountain Pen W/ 14K Semi-Flex Nib - Restored
Model – Duofold Jr
Date - 1923-24 ish Filling System – Button Color – Black Hard Rubber Size – 4 1/2" capped and almost 5 3/4" posted. To preserve crack free cap lip, post with caution.

Originally the barrel & cap was heavily oxidized to an olive green/brown color. Heavily oxidized rubber can be toxic to other pens stored in close proximity. Due to this hazard, both pieces have been cleaned to remove oxidation and professionally dyed to stabilize and seal rubber surface. Surface is now a dark even black color. There is a shallow orange peel like texture caused by the previous oxidation. Can only be seen under magnification and it doesn't make the surface feel rough. Causes no problem and actually ended up giving the pen a nice feel in hand. No cracks or personalization. Restored - ready to fill and write for another 91 plus years. Please note: To preserve black rubber color, care should be taken to protect surface from water and sunlight $135.00 |

Vintage Parker Duofold Senior Red Permanite Fountain Pen W/ 14K Nib - Restored
Vintage Parker Duofold Senior Red Permanite Fountain Pen W/ 14K Nib - Restored
Outstanding example of the first year (1928) two-band "Red" Permanite Senior Duofold. 1928 was the first year for the two-banded cap, and first year the new "Permanite" plastic which replaced the hard rubber of the past. It was also the last year for the classic flat top design. 1929 saw the design change to the stream-lined shaped pens. Even deep orange color is glossy with minimal sign of being used much. Pen is excellent with the exception of one shallow impression (not exactly a scratch) on the back of the cap at the clip ring and some oxidation on the cap tassie. There are no cracks. Crisp "small" Duofold Lucky Curve barrel imprint. Gold filled plating on trim is perfect. Can not find one spot of brassing. Large pen measures 5 1/2" capped and 6 3/4" posted. Perfect 14K Parker Duofold Pen nib is fine/firm. Button filling system has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 86 plus years.

Parker BHCR Senior Duofold W/ 5mm "Medium" Flush Gold Cap Band - Restored
Parker BHCR Senior Duofold W/ 5mm "Medium" Flush Gold Cap Band - Restored
Model – Duofold
Date - 1924-26 ish Filling System – Button Color – Black Hard Chased Rubber Size – Senior hair under 5 1/2" capped and about 6 3/4" posted. (Caution should be used when posting to preserve the cap lip) Trim – There are a couple tiny spots of brassing on the clip ball and a very thin line of brassing along part of the top edge of cap band. Beyond that, plating is very good. Rare medium (5mm) wide cap band. Can't find this cap band in any Parker catalogs. So far can only find one photo of this cap band on a red hard rubber pen (see Pg. 48 of Shephard & Zazove's Duofold Book) Nib – 14K Parker Duofold Pen extra fine/firm with just a touch of bounce. End of nib shows a slight crimp and a few marks, but nib is aligned. Condition - Glossy surface shows only minimal desk/use wear. Medium barrel imprint is a little light, but completly legible. Chasing on barrel is a little lighter than the cap, but overall, chasing is very presentable. Crisp milling on clip lock and blind cap. One oddity, compared to the RHR example above, the cap band is placed the same distance from the top of the pen, but extends exactly 1/16" beyond. The RHR extends exactely 1/8" beyond. Can find no evidence the cap lip was shortened, but is possible. Or maybe there was some experimentation going on. No cracks or personalization. Restored and ready to fill and write for another 90 plus years. |

Parker Senior Black & Gold "X" Button Fill Fountain Pen - Restored
Parker Senior Black & Gold "X" Button Fill Fountain Pen - Restored
Model – Black & Gold X Pen
Date - 1925 ish Filling System – Button Color – Black chased vertical lines Size – Senior 5 3/8" capped. Does not post securely, but really should not be posted to preserve the cap lip. Trim – Brassing on high spot clip ball and one area, top and bottom edge of cap band . The rest of the clip and cap look good. Nib – Unusual Parker Lucky Curve P7X extra fine with good flex. Condition - Glossy surface shows only minimal desk/use wear with a very good Lucky Curve barrel imprint (no Duofold). Parker DQish 4 line chasing is a little light, but complete. Even color. Pen should be 100% Permanite (pyroxylin), but cap may actually be hard rubber. Not 100% sure... Do know this model was produced for a short time until Parker was confident enough that this "new" plastic material was going to be worthy of the "Duofold" brand name. Personalized Capt. J.D. McNair U.S.N. 99% certain this pen belonged to a Lieutenant (Chaplain) James Duncan MacNair who was awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism during WWI. If we have the right man, he went on to become a Captain and believe ultimately a Rear Admiral. Information and photos will be provided with this pen. Restored and ready to fill and write for another 90 plus years. $450.00 |

Parker Senior Jade Duofold Fountain Pen & Pencil Set - Restored
Parker Senior Jade Duofold Fountain Pen & Pencil Set - Restored
Model – Duofold
Date - 1927 ish Filling System – Button Color – Early translucent apple green Size – Senior 5 1/2" capped and about 6 3/4" posted (posting is not recommended to prevent cap lip cracks). Pencil 5 5/8" Trim – Perfect as it gets on the pen. Pencil has one small dent on the back of the top. Beyond a spot of brassing on the clip ball and maybe a line in the deep indention of the crown, trim is excellent. Nib – 14K Parker Duofold Pen B fine/firm. Pictures show a nib with no iridium. Nib has been replaced with the exact same nib, but has good iridium. Looks like there may be a small crack at the back of the vent hole, but seems quite stable. Condition - Do not believe this pen was ever inked. Found no sign of ink in cap or ossified sac. Crisp Duofold Lucky Curve imprint has even black coloring. Blind cap is stickered. Unusual translucent "apple green" color. The top edge of the cap has a slight yellowish tone (see last photo). Do not believe this indicates crystallization issue. Pencil shows same coloration where there are internal threads. Although this color can be fragile, the pen clip lock (black cap end) was easily removed (with heat) No hint of instability. The lighter color is only on the inside thread area which is much thinner. Hard to say, but it may have always looked this way. Restored with a clear silicone sac. Mechanical pencil matches pen's translucent color very well. Crisp Parker Duofold Sr. imprint. Pencil has similar lighter yellowish color around top and bottom of barrel where there are internal threads. Works perfectly. |

Parker Jack Knife Safety Gold-Filled Fountain Pen W/ 14K Lucky Curve Nib
Parker Jack Knife Safety Gold-Filled Fountain Pen W/ 14K Lucky Curve Nib
Not often seen Parker pre-Duofold (1919-1925 ish) button filler. All gold filled with smooth lines alternating with barleycorn (fish scale) panels. Vest pocket size with clip. Very unusual to find a gold-filled button filler with etched design and clip. Although still rare, most often seen with smooth finish and ring-top. Beyond minor desk/use wear commensurate to age, there is only 1 spot of brassing on the ball of the clip and a line of brassing around cap lip. There are a few dents in the barrel and cap. Have tried to show pen at all angles in photographs. Dents could be removed, but don't have the correct tool. Am selling as is. No dents in the clip tassie or blind cap. Pen measures 4 1/4" capped and 5 1/4" posted. Parker Lucky Curve 14K nib is fine with just a tad of flex. Looks like the tines may have a slight wrinkle on the top surface, but could just be the way the nib was made. Tines are aligned with good iridium tipping. Button filler has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 95 plus years.

Parker never wasted parts so pens with a diamond clip and no blue color did happen. Normally, if just worn enamel, you will see some residue. There is no sign there was ever any blue color in this diamond imprint. Condition - Minimal sign of desk/use wear. Restored Nib - 14K X fine/firm Mechanical pencil perfect match in size, color, & trim. No dents or scratches. 14K hallmark on cap, back of clip jewel tassie, and cone. Works perfectly $1,800.00 |

Vintage E.F. - Eberhard & Faber ? Long & Short Safety Fountain Pen
Vintage E.F. - Eberhard & Faber ? Long & Short Safety Fountain Pen
Model – Long & Short Safety Date - Unknown
Filling System – Eyedropper Color – Gold plate overlay Size – 3" capped and 5 1/8" posted with nib extended Trim – Gold overlay on cap is a little thin with some desk/use wear. No dents or damage. Nib – 14K nib marked Warranted 14 Carat with a asterick inside a circle. One tip is bent and missing iridium Condition - Other than nib imprint, the only other hint to maker is a small E.F. imprinted on the side of the barrel end. Believe maker is Eberhard Faber - Germany. The only other "Long Short" we have seen is a lever filler produced by Diamond Point. This pen has the same feature as the Long & Short with the cap posting on the back of the barrel making a full length pen. Unusual feature is that, like the "safety pen", once the cap is posted, it is turned to extend the nib. Have left this pen as found. Assume the "safety" pen would need a new seal to actually be filled and the nib will need repair or replacement. No cracks or personalization. Sold "as is" to preserve original condition for collector. $85.00 |

Vintage Moore #3 Safety Fountain Pen W/ 14K Fine - Flexible Nib
Vintage Moore #3 Safety Fountain Pen W/ 14K Fine - Flexible Nib
Model - #3
Date - Believe 1917-1919 - based on Moore barrel marking and no pin inside cap Filling System – With nib retracted fills with an eyedropper. Can also be used as a dip pen Color – Black Hard Rubber Size – 4 3/4" capped, 4" uncapped with nib extended, and about 6 3/4" posted (cap does not post securely) Trim – Matching gold bands - bottom of cap and bottom of sleeve. Thin lines of brassing along some of the top edges of bands. No personalization. Clip patented in 1908 by Albert Watts - maybe for Swan? Interesting clip has obviously been on this pen for a very long time. Clip works perfectly Nib – 14K Moore - fine/flexible - Lovely writer with good iridium and no cracks, but due to the small size of nib and the flex, this nib should be treated very gently. Condition - Crisp #3 imprint on side of barrel end. Moore barrel imprint is somewhat light, but mostly legible. Good color with just a tad of oxidation. Would say 90% original color. Glossy surface shows only minimal desk/use wear. No cracks, dings, or personalization. Pen came to us "restored". Since we did not personally replace the cork, am selling as is. Would recommend using as a dip pen, but pen could very well be ready to fill.... Note: Care must be taken to hold the barrel not the sleeve when un-screwing the cap. Make sure nib is retracted before capping pen $85.00 |

Vintage Parker 51 First Year Fountain Pen Set W/ Wedding Band Cap - Restored
Vintage Parker 51 First Year Fountain Pen Set W/ Wedding Band Cap - Restored
This is a beautiful first year, 2 jewel Parker 51 fountain pen and pencil set. While some first year pens had aluminum jewels and a speedline filler, there are known examples of 1st year pens that did not. We know this is a 1st yr cap since the wedding band cap was only produced in 1941. This cap has a very nice silver pearl jewel. Filler is a plastic button not a speedline filler, but again, there are known examples... Glossy Cordovan Brown surface shows some minor dings and use wear, but no cracks or damage beyond that. Both pen and pencil are discretly personalized - Joseph S. Coury. Cap has a Lustraloy finish with a gold filled blue diamond clip, tassie, and the raised gold filled band. Beyond desk/use wear commenserate to age, there is no brassing or plating loss on the trim. Note: on each side of the cap above the band there is, what might be, shallow tool marks. It almost looks like the cap may have been frozen on the body of the pen and somone used a tool to pull the cap off. Metal surface can be smoothed out, but we do not have the correct tools to do so. Sounds much worse that it looks, but definately worth mentioning. Correct, light, but mostly legible Parker imprint around end of the blind cap. Very unusual blind cap jewel. 99.999% sure it is original, but can find no examples of this jewel in any books or online (see photo). Full size pen measures 5 1/2" capped and about 6" posted. Excellent 14K fine/firm nib with lots of iridium tipping. Vacumatic filling system has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 73 plus years.
Pencil is an exact match in condition, style, cap, trim, and personalization. Pencil was produced with a different type of plastic so color is typically a tad darker than the fountain pen. Twist actuated lead propels and retracts properly. There is lead installed and a few extras |

Chilton Wing-Flow Full Size Fountain Pen
Chilton Wing-Flow Full Size Fountain Pen
Model - End of barrel marked 003. There is an additional #. Kind of hard to tell, but looks like there was an original # 39803. 3 numbers are stamped over original to read now read 33123. Odd stamp - according to catalogue, the 3 denotes a pen with no inlay. Not sure what the longer number is. This is the full size and girth. Would have expected a Q5 imprint..
Date - 1935-39 Filling System - Pneumatic (similar to Sheaffer's Touchdown) Color - Black/Silver inlay pattern Q Size - Standard/Full size Trim -Usually 14K white gold filled. Due to the patina and lack of brassing, suspect this might be a sterling inlay. Unusual, but not unheard of. Condition - Crisp imprints on barrel blind cap. Minimal sign pen was ever used. Have left the patina of inlay as found. New sac has been installed. Just needs a nib and will be good to go. Nib - none. Suspect a different feed and nib could be installed while looking for a wing-flow nib. $500.00 |

Parker True Blue Lucky Curve Fountain Pen Set W/ 14K Nib - Restored
Parker True Blue Lucky Curve Fountain Pen Set W/ 14K Nib - Restored
Parker introduced this "True Blue" fountain pen in 1928. The flat-top slim design lasted for just one year before Parker "streamlined" the shape and produced the streamlined version for one more year. The True Blue colors are almost always badly discolored. Especially the fountain pen barrels. The caps very often retain most of their original color, but the barrels end up a completely different dark brownish color. Not sure how this pen escaped that fate. Although the light color leans more towards cream than white, the light colors are even and the blues are fantastic. The cap and barrel colors are a match with just the slightest darkening on barrel thread under cap. Unusually clean example. Pen must not have been used much and stored carefully. "Permanite" plastic is glossy with no damage beyond very light desk/use wear. Crisp Parker Lucky Curve barrel imprint. Gold filled trim has no brassing except for a very small area on the ball of the clip. Junior size pen measures 4 1/2" capped and 5 1/2" posted (although to prevent cap cracks would not recommend posting this pen). Very nice 14K Parker Pen nib is fine with medium flex and good iridium. Button (Duofold) filling system has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 86 plus years.

Made in Canada Parker Standard 1st Generation Vacumatic W/ Extra Wide 14K Cap Band
Made in Canada Parker Standard 1st Generation Vacumatic W/ Extra Wide 14K Cap Band
Unusual 1st generation Standard Vacumatic with date code of 1938. Parker redesigned the vac in 1937, but was not one to waste parts so some lockdowns do show up with later dates on occasion. Although still a nice chunky pen, the Standard size is just a little smaller in length and girth than the Oversize. Measures 5 1/8" capped, 6 1/16" posted, and 15/16" across barrel's widest point. Can find no fault with this pen. Minimal sign of desk/use wear. Barrel imprint is a tad light on the second line, but very legible made in Canada with date code 8 one dot (last qtr. 1938). Excellent striated jewels. One tiny spot of brassing at the top right hand curve of the clip. Not often seen, 1/4" wide 14K cap band . Although ambered, barrel retains decent transparency. Canada produced these pen with a black section. Monotone 14K Parker Vacumatic nib is perfect. Fine point with just a tad of flex.

Vintage Parker 51 Vacumatic Fountain Pen W/ Vintage "Mexican" Cap - Restored
Vintage Parker 51 Vacumatic Fountain Pen W/ Vintage "Mexican" Cap - Restored
Parker 51 Vacumatic filling full size fountain pen in classic black . Glossy black surface is excellent. Although the first part of the "Parker Made in USA" is a little light, the barrel imprint is legible with a crisp date code of 4 with no dots (4rd qtr. of 1944). The cap is a vintage "Mexican" cap, not a modern custom cap usually seen. Although Parker did not produce these caps themselves, they started showing up right after WWII near the Mexican border where many US military personnel were stationed. Mexican artist's would take an original sterling cap and overlay these elaborate Mexican motif's. Although they did not hallmark them, the overlay was usually solid 10K gold (including the cap jewel). This is a beautiful example of quality workmanship. Although cap does not have the internal clutch plate, it engages clutch ring firmly. This original Parker clip has a small, high placed blue diamond. The only clip brassing we can find is a couple thin lines around the tassie edge. Measures 5 1/2" capped, 6 1/8" posted , and weighs 27 grams (just cap weighs 17 grams). Excellent 14K fine nib. Vacumatic filling system has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 71 plus years.

Made in Canada Parker Oversize Vacumatic Fountain Pen W/ 14K 2-toned Restored
Made in Canada Parker Oversize Vacumatic Fountain Pen W/ 14K 2-toned Restored
1st generation Oversize Vacumatic. Imprint is somewhat light in a few spots, but legible made in Canada imprint with date code 36 ( 3rd qtr of 1936). 1936 was the first year Parker produced the Vacumatic in this Golden Pearl color. Although occasionally a lockdown will sometimes be seen in later pens, Parker re-designed the Vac in 1937. filling system changed to the Speedline with a longer blind cap.
Both jewels are striated to match the body. There is some brassing around the top edges of the jewel tassies (mostly around the back). Correct cap ring imprint of registration # 784404. What had us stumped was the black section. U.S. made sections for this same pen were striated to match the pen. Turns out Canadian made pens were produced with black sections. Mystery solved :) Art deco arrow clip with some brassing along the side edges and the high edges on the arrow shaped end. The 3 cap rings show only small area of brassing along the back bottom edge of the lowest ring. Glossy surface shows minor deskwear commensurate to age. There is an area that shows some rippling on the surface around the end of the barrel where the filling unit threads into the barrel (It is something you can feel more than see). Found one very small old chip (no sharp edge) right at the top edge of barrel. When held up to light, barrel is ambered, but still retains some transparency. Under the loupe we discovered a very light, almost invisible personalization (handwritten). Pen measures 5 1/8" capped and 6 1/8" posted. Barrel measures 1/2" across at it's widest point. Correct Made in Canada palladium plated two-tone nib (note light plating, one scratch, and a few tool marks on tips) dated 1935. Pen has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 79 years. Original made in Canada box and paperwork. $425.00 Sold |

NOS Vintage Parker Fountain Pen & Pencil Presidential Set - Solid 14K Gold
