Product Description
Type | Very collectible first version of the Parker T1. This listing is for the ballpoint and matching mechanical pencil. |
Product Name | Parker T1 |
Manufacturer and Year |
Parker USA, circa 1970. You can tell it is a first version because the finish is brushed titanium, while the later version was smooth. |
Length | 5-1/8" |
Filling System | The ballpoint takes Parker style refills, and pencil takes a Parker lead cartridge. The cartridge in the pencil is working fine, and it seems to takes .9mm lead. Note that you can take the lead cartridge out of the pencil and it becomes a ballpoint. |
Color | Light colored brushed titanium, gold filled clip and tassies, red jewels |
Condition
|
Excellent, though used condition. No dents on the cap or serious scratches. The only imperfections we could find are some slightly shiny areas of the barrels and caps where the brushed titanium finish is worn a little smooth. There's also a small rough patch in the plating on the gold filled clip of the ballpoint where the arrow's feathers are ... you can see it in the close-ups. The gold plating is still there, it's just a bit rough and not smooth. Both writing instruments work perfectly. |
