Featured Listings We have been setting aside unusual Parkers for the past few months -- unusual, as opposed to simply rare. A couple of these pens we have never seen before, which just goes to show varied Parker production was.
9649: Parker 25½ Jack-Knife Safety: uncommon "stub"-size (large but short) black chased hard rubber button-filler, 11.5 cm long, nickel plated trim, large teardrop-vent "lazy-S" Lucky Curve #5 nib, spearhead feed; overall condition is sound and attractive, though imprints and chasing are weak from polishing. No model number imprint on blind cap, internal "tail" of Lucky Curve feed has been removed. DATE: c. 1917 •
CONDITION: G • NIB: medium fine semiflex • $275
9627: Parker Lucky Curve: all-metal gold filled button-filler, 11 cm long, metal fine with only a couple of shallow pinprick dings (see details); an unusual model, especially in the longer version with a clip. DATE:

9506: Parker Duofold Senior Deluxe: black-veined pearl non-streamlined button-filler, 13.9 cm long, gold filled trim; big Duofold nib, spearhead feed with uncut Lucky Curve extension; crisp end milling, touches of brassing to the clip, outstanding color with only slightest toning to the barrel; silicone sac has been installed to preserve color.

9507: Parker Duofold Senior: orange button-filler; 13.6 cm long, gold filled trim, strong barrel imprint with 3rd quarter "46" date code, original sticker on end of blind cap; extra-long, factory original use of streamlined cap and pre-streamline barrel recut to streamlined profile. Spearhead feed, three-piece pressure bar, large stiff Duofold semistub nib has a very subtle stress hairline near the base -- should be stable in ordinary use.

9648: Parker Duofold Senior: English-made oversize button-filler, 12.95 cm long, gold filled trim, scarce and desirable green herringbone pattern; very clean, noting usual slight roughness to cap band -- a better example would be hard to find.

The Duragraph was quickly renamed the Endura due to trademark issues; Duragraphs in any condition are hard to find.
DATE: c. 1922 • CONDITION: G*
• NIB: extra-fine firm • $265

9604: Parker 51: not a Parker product at all, but rather an early Japanese counterfeit: cheaply made, yet with extraordinary attention to detail. Thinly-plated cap is fully falsely marked, as is the barrel and filler housing. Even the flimsy plated nib is marked! A very interesting specimen for the 51 collector.
