Description;

The Parker Duofold Senior was first introduced in 1925 as part of the first Duofold range. The first models were made from Red or Black Hard Rubber, later models were made from Permanite, Parkers name for Celluloid. Permanite was developed by Du Pont with Parkers help and was available in more colours. The Streamlined range was introduced in the late 1920's and included pens in Lapis Lazuli, Chinese Red and Mandarin Yellow. It was to be a few more years before the marble effect pens were available made from the newer Acrylic materials.

This is an early Duofold Senior Fountain Pen in Red Hard Rubber, or Chinese Red as it was described by Parker. It was made around 1925 and is in good condition with some minor wear marks..

The colours are clean and bright, the gold plating to the clip and cap ring is in lovely condition with some wear at the edges. The imprint is faint but just about legible.

The pen has been fully serviced and is filling and writing exactly as it did nearly 100 years ago. It has been thoroughly cleaned and prepared. 

All parts of the pen are totally original, including the fabulous Medium 14ct gold nib.

This is a very nice example of this pen that is becoming hard to find.
