Vintage Pens: Parker Duofold Jr.

Description

The original orange hard rubber Parker Duofold Jr. really electrifies any collection with its vibrance. We love this color compared to the slightly later permanite versions of the vintage pen. At first glance, this pen is absolutely stunning. The color is great. Not only is the orange blazing, but the black end caps are deep, jet black with really crisp milling. It has the original “Christmas tree” inkfeed. We restored this pen with a new ink sac. The imprint is still pretty sharp. However, there is a little crack in the lip of the cap, and the cap band and clip show some brassing. The orange color isn’t 100% consistent. Its 14k gold nib is what we are calling stub-adjacent. You will see this Parker Duofold Jr. has a little line variation but nothing dramatic. 11.6cm capped.
