Parker - Lucky Curve “True Blue” - Fountain pen

This Parker Lucky Curve True Blue item, from the 1931–1932 transition period, is presented in exceptional condition within its category. It is a historic piece whose original True Blue celluloid in the cap and Amber Laminated celluloid in the body makes it a scarce variant, highly valued by Parker pre-Vacumatic collectors.

The cap retains the characteristic pearlescent blue celluloid with ivory-toned veins, typical of the original True Blue model. Its surface preserves the natural shine and texture of the material without cracks or deformations, which is particularly notable in pieces of this age. The clip with PARKER engraving remains firm, well aligned, and with minor but uniform gold wear, while the three gold rings remain intact and correctly seated in the cap’s structure.

The body, made of laminated amber celluloid, is likewise well preserved. It shows a deep gloss and a characteristic level of transparency very well maintained, with no signs of crystallization or material deterioration. The Lucky Curve engraving is legible, a faithful testament to an early production that is increasingly hard to find. The tailpiece and lever show natural aging of the metal without affecting the mechanical integrity of the piece.

The 14-karat gold nib, engraved with the Parker brand, shows excellent structural integrity: the tines are aligned, the point is clean and undamaged, and the surface retains its original hue. The ebonite feed, with its characteristic grooved structure, appears complete and in very good condition.

The button-filling mechanism functions correctly, with a firm lever and no play, indicating proper maintenance and responsible preservation over time. The cap and body threads operate smoothly and precisely, with no excessive wear.

Overall, this transitional Parker Lucky Curve True Blue represents an extraordinary example of historical preservation: authentic, aesthetically coherent, functional, and highly collectible. Its condition makes it an ideal piece both for a high-level collection and for those seeking a vintage fountain pen with its own character and an unmistakable identity within the Parker legacy.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Happy bidding!
