Parker Duofold Senior Burgundy Marble vintage fountain pen 

A wonderful Parker Parker Duofold Senior Burgundy Marble vintage fountain pen by Parker.

This pen has been used however has been very well looked after so is in great condition for its age fully serviced and perfect working order.

First, a brief history lesson: The Valentine Pen Company in England began making pens for other, larger pen companies in the late 1930s, and in 1941 signed an agreement with Parker to share manufacturing facilities for the duration of the war. According to page 260 in Shepherd and Zazove’s “Parker Duofold” book, the Duofolds made in England were similar to the Streamline models from America and Canada, but had a unique barrel imprint, and some of the Senior models had a thin cap band – this pen has both of those. In fact, a pen that’s almost identical to this one is pictured on that same page.
