AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Parker Duofold Centennial was introduced to mark Parker’s 100-year anniversary (1888–1988).
The 'Black & Pearl' finish (pearl-like acrylic veined with black) was added in November 1992 on the 'Centennial'.
This finish was designed to evoke a 1920s style: *“Delicate pearlized acrylic, veined with intense black, echoes the elegant style of the original 1920s finish.

Design & Materials

Material / Body: The pen is made from acrylic rods (methyl methacrylate).
White-pearl acrylic with black veining / marbling.
Typically gold-plated trim
Bands: On some examples, there are two cap bands, two barrel bands, and two section rings.
Nib (Fountain Pen): 18 k gold** M nib.
Filling System (Fountain): with Parker cartridges.


Value / Rarity / Collector Notes
Because this finish ('Pearl & Black') is relatively popular and visually distinctive, it's quite collectible.
The Pearl and Black finish is one of the nicest finishes... The ones were made from 1995 to 2005.
