The Duofold was undoubtedly the pen that allowed Parker to go from being a small pen manufacturer among many to one of the industry's leading players. Over ten million units were sold and exported worldwide. Produced at the Janesville factory until 1933, Duofolds continued to be produced successfully in England and Canada until the 1940s, sometimes in interesting colors not available in the American Duofold line.
