Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Duofold Senior, made with vintage parts.
Manufacturer and Year Unknown modern maker. High quality workmanship suggests someone like Chris Thompson pens, but except for early prototypes he usually marked his pens clearly as a replica. The nib, feed, finial, section, clip and blind cap seem to be original Parker Duofold parts from the 1930s. We showed the pen around at the 2024 San Francisco Pen Show and it was suggested to us that it was made from vintage rod stock, though no one recognized the maker.
Length 5-5/8"
Filling System Button Filler, restored with a new sac.
Nib Medium Parker Lucky Curve gold nib. The nib is very large.
Color Mottled red celluloid cap and barrel. Black end pieces on the cap and barrel. Gold Plated trim.
Condition Superior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large pen in a beautiful color with a woodgrain appearance and some texturing and faint turning marks on the surface. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. It is very difficult to see scratches given the color pattern and surface texture. The clip has plating wear on the ball end. The clip ring has some wear. The Parker imprint on the clip is clear.
