Vintage Pens: Parker Thrift Time

Description

Easily mistaken for a Parker Challenger Deluxe, this appears to be a large Parker Thrift Time pen…or possibly another Depression era vintage pen from Parker. We restored it with a new ink sac. We find it to be a really handsome pen with some wear from use back in the day. No cracks but heavy brassing on the pocket clip. You will write a nice, wet medium line with some feedback using its 14k gold nib. These pens helped sustain Parker during the Great Depression when most people couldn’t afford their premium Vacumatics. 12.9cm capped.
