AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Parker Lucky Curve 'True Blue' set, consisting of a fountain pen and a matching mechanical pencil, is presented in good condition, especially noteworthy considering its age and vintage character.

Both pieces retain the marbled blue celluloid 'True Blue' with an attractive shine and well-defined veins, maintaining excellent color uniformity between the pen and the mechanical pencil. Slight signs of superficial use are visible, typical of the passage of time, with no cracks, fissures, or structural deformations visible in the material.

The gold-plated metal elements — clips, rings, and the tip of the mechanical pencil — show slight, uniform wear consistent with their original use, with no severe losses or damage. The Parker clips with terminal ball are intact, properly aligned, and have good tension.

The original engravings 'GEO. S. PARKER – MADE IN U.S.A.' and the inscriptions of the Lucky Curve system remain visible and legible, adding documentary value and confirming the authenticity of the set.

The original PARKER Lucky Curve gold 14 ct nib is presented complete, well aligned, and without noticeable cracks, with a visually good condition tip. The button fill system is complete; due to the age of the piece, the condition of the internal sac cannot be guaranteed, and a review or replacement is recommended if the pen is to be used regularly.

The mechanical pencil retains its original mechanism and structure, with aesthetic wear consistent with its age and use.

Overall, this is an authentic and well-preserved Parker Lucky Curve set, highly representative of Parker's production in the 1920s, ideal for both collectors and lovers of classic writing who value original pieces with character, history, and presence.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box to ensure proper preservation.

Good auction!
