Product Name Parker Jack Knife Safety Pen Lucky Curve - 20 1/2 (marked on end of barrel).
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - Late 1920s

Filling System Button filler. Restored filling system with a new sac.
Color Black chased hard rubber. The clip is steel or nickel plated. There is also a gold-plated ringtop.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE Lucky Curve Pen #2 nib, full flex. Writes very smoothly, and gives line variation from extra fine to double broad. See writing sample below. Note the tiny notch at the top of the heart-shaped breather hole. We do not believe that this is a crack, but rather the slit was cut just a bit too long.
Condition Excellent + condition! The imprints on barrel and cap are slightly smoothed down, but still readable. The chasing pattern is really strong. No cracks or chips in the barrel or cap. The clip shows a fair bit of plating wear. the ringtop hardware is secure. The color is good, with the area underneath the cap just a tiny bit darker than the rest of the barrel and the cap. This is a great little pen which should be a dependable writer for years to come, or a worthy addition to your collection.
