Vintage Parker Duofold Jr Yellow Fountain Pen No Cracks W/ 14K Nib - Restored
Streamlined Parker Duofold in Mandarin Yellow. For some reason this sunshine yellow plastic is hardly ever found without at least some micro cracks or chips along the cap edge. Somehow this one has survived since around 1930 with perfect bright yellow color and no cracks of any kind. Glossy plastic shows no wear beyond typical micro abrasions. Barrel imprint is a tad light, but legible two line Duofold Patented Made In USA. Plating on trim is excellent except for one small spot of brassing on the ball of the clip. This pen is super clean inside and out. Even the inside of the cap is ink free. Junior size pen measures 4 1/2" capped and 5 3/4" posted. Since this plastic is considered somewhat fragile, posting this pen is probably not a great idea. Perfect 14K Parker Duofold Pen nib is fine/firm. Button filling system has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 84 plus years.
