Parker 75 Bicentennial Limited Edition fountain pen
A rare Parker 75 Bicentennial Limited Edition fountain pen by Parker.
This pen has been used however has been well looked after so is in very good condition ( small ding on barrel )
In 1976 Parker wanted to commemorate the 200th year/ bicentennial of the declaration of the declaration of US. It produced a Parker “75” that was made from pewter, basically a tin alloy, widely used in the time period of the colonial years.
It sported a ball ended clip, similar to the Duofolds of the 1920’s. Embedded in the cap top it had a piece of wood from the Independence hall, an American national landmark located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mostly famous because the US constitution, and the declaration of independence were prepared in the building.
The wood was removed from the building when it was restored in 1897 and Parker was later able to buy a small quantity that came with certificates of authenticity from the historic society. It came in a handmade chest made form mahogany with an elaborate brass lock to resemble a jewel chest from the 1700’s. The pen cap was engraved “Wood in this limited edition pen / is a relic of Independence Hall / Philadelphia – 1776”. The pens were numbered and 10 000 items were produced. It’s known to collectors as the Bicentennial pen or the American pen.
only 10,000 ever made very difficult to find today , this one is number 1670
The pen can be used with squeeze fill ink converter or ink cartridges ( converter is included )
The pens nib is made from 14K gold and is a M = medium in size
The pens boxes and documents were lost so a nice Parker box is included
