Perfect gift for a loved one! Cleaned, lubricated & tested Dear future buyer, This piece has been maintained and is ready for use, thank you! This is a beautiful vintage Parker 75 THUYA cartridge pen. It is equipped with a 18K gold medium nib and a "wood veneer" finish - THUYA. This special higher grade nib offers more elasticity in its impression compared with a 14K one. Over the time I started to grow a great love for this model and have gathered and maintained as many as I could! I invite you to read a little about it here: https://goodwriterspens.com/2014/06/18/parker-75-thuya/ Feel free to look online more, as the pen was covered in multiple articles and magazines. It's close to factory condition and it shows no scratches. The pen was also tested and it writes beautifully. I also have the ballpoint companion up for sale now, feel free to take a look! Additionally, as a vintage objects collector myself, I carefully restored it so you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art! The pen is technically and esthetically perfect, passing all tests! Please Note: - The pen is a cartridge type, compatible with any modern day refills, and converters! - The shipping will be done with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you. Happy holidays and happy treasure hunting!
