Description;

The Parker Duofold Junior 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 a Duofold Junior set in the rarest of the colours, Mandarin Yellow. It was made around 1929 and is in very good condition with minor wear marks.

The colours are clean, bright and consistent with no cracks, splits or chips. The imprints are a little worn but still legible. The gold plating to the clips and cap rings is in lovely condition with some minor wear and pitting.

The pen has been fully serviced, the pencil has been cleaned and both items work well. All parts of the set are totally original, including the Fine 14ct gold nib. The pencil uses 1.2mm leads which are still readily available.

This is a wonderful set; the condition is very good, and the rare colour practically bounces off your desk. The nib is smooth and the gold plating is strong.

The set is supplied in a modern Duofold box to protect it adequately. It is probably more of a collectors set than a daily user but it is a testament to the design and manufacturing processes that it could still be used daily if required.
