Product Description
Type Early Parker fountain pen in wonderful working condition with a nicely flexible nib
Product Name Lucky Curve. With its ornate top hardware, this pen resembles model 84 in the Parker 1923 catalog.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, USA - This is an early model from the teens or 1920s.
Length 4-1/2", not including ring top hardware
Filling System Button filler. Excellent filling system with a new sac.
Color Black chased hard rubber body and cap. Gold cap finial with ring, black button. No cap band.
Nib Fine flexiible #2 nib, marked "Lucky Curve". There's not a ton of flex, but you can get line variation from fine to broad. Christmas tree feed. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent with no cracks, noticeable scratches, or personalization. Light marks on the barrel, just below the threads. The blind cap looks really clean, no marks or scratches. The color isn't completely even - the chasing pattern has stayed fairly dark, but the smooth parts in between have faded to a deep olive green color. (It's actually a nice subtle effect that almost looks like it was done on purpose. But we know better.) There's a significant difference in the color underneath the cap, and there's also a portion of the barrel that is darker than the rest which might have had a label on it.
