AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Parker Duofold Streamlined 'Vest Pocket' fountain pen, in the coveted Green Pearl & Black finish, features a compact design intended to be carried in a pocket (especially vest/jacket) without sacrificing the presence and character of the Duofold line. This example retains a very attractive aesthetic, with the well-visible green marbled nacreous pattern and a harmonious combination of dark tones with gold details.
General condition
The pen is in very good aesthetic condition for its age, with minor signs of use and typical of the passage of time (micro-surface marks). It maintains a solid and consistent appearance, ideal for both collection and occasional use after a tune-up.
Body and cap
Celluloid body in Green Pearl & Black, with well-defined pearlescent veins and good overall shine.
Matching cap, with a screw thread that appears correct and provides a consistent fit.
Bands or rings of the set with good appearance, with fine wear compatible with a vintage piece.
Clip and fittings
The original gold clip with the 'PARKER' brand maintains good shape and alignment, with no significant deformations. It shows a light patina/subtle wear on the gold, typical of vintage pieces and desirable as a sign of authenticity.
Nib
Original Parker fountain pen in 14K gold, with visible marking 'PARKER DUOFOLD 14 CT PEN CANADA'. Visually, it appears complete and correct, with normal superficial wear from use.
Charging system
Model with the classic loading system of the era (button filler type). As it is a vintage fountain pen, the internal sac may require replacement if recent maintenance has not been performed; this is a common intervention to ensure sealing and optimal filling.
Functional status
The assembly closes and fits correctly. For perfect daily use, inspection/cleaning and, if applicable, replacement of the sac are recommended (typical preventive maintenance for vintage fountain pens).
Presentation
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation and protection during shipping.
Good auction!
