Pen 2452R Parker Duofold Junior BHR  $175 SOLD
Early-ish Black Hard Rubber pen with medium (at least i don't believe it is the 'large')  imprint.

Nib condition: Exc
Threads:  perfect clarity: N/A
Point: F-M Semi-Flex Imprint:  Fine Size: 4 1/4" 11.7cm
PRICE: $175
COMMENTS:  An early 1920's Black Hard Rubber Duofold. Imprint either the  next to largest or largest  (suspect "nex to"). Good color, clean trim and nib. Imprint not perfect but not bad, the Lucky Curve banner is intact  but lost in the photo shadow. Nice semi-flex nib.

Point: Fine Flex Imprint:  Fine Size: 5 3/8" 13.6 cm
PRICE: $155 
COMMENTS:  A 1928-ish Lucky Curve (essentially a sub-Duofold) long slender pen with smooth flex (moderate, not noodle)  nib. The lined chasing is a later pattern, one i'd vaguely believed associated with the "DQ" label, though this barrel imprint is simple Lucky Curve (no DQ). Very clean trim. Decent imprint. Mild oliving of the hard robber with good gloss.

PointMONSTER NIB  Imprint: Fine Size: 4 3/4" 11.9 cm
PRICE: $195  SOLD
COMMENTS:  A classic sub-Duofold-line pen by Parker, recently given tribute via the modern True Blue Duofold. This one is a decent but hardly stellar example. Very clean cap. Some barrel ambering. Imprint fully legible though not razor sharp. One flea-bite to the plastic below the imprint. Killer nib, no joke.

COMMENTSA classic sub-Duofold-line pen by Parker, recently given tribute via the modern True Blue Duofold. Plastic is clean. Clip-ball shows brassing as does about 2/3 of the cap-band. Barrel has moderate ambering. Gripping section is a smidge short.

Pen 2435R  Parker Duofold Geometric (Toothbrush) $185  SOLD
Slender Model Green Celluloid 1939 

Overall Grade:  ExtraFine
Metal: Exc Color: Extra Fine CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Exc
Threads:  perfect clarity: N/A
Point:  XF-Med Flex Imprint:  Exc Size: 4 3/4" 12cm
PRICE: $185
COMMENTS:   Essentially a one-year model, the 1939 Duofold marked the reappearance of that name in Parker's lineup, following a several year absence. It slotted between the Deluxe and Royal Challengers  in price point, and bears a similar shape to those models.

No Brassing, couple light marks on cap-band. Deep manufacturer's imprint. Nice "visometer" gripping section clarity. Neat nib with some flex (not wet noodle) that lets it switch from baseline XF-ish to full medium on downstroke, with application of pressure.  Cap is bright, barrel has some brighter and darker regions, well shown in the two pictures, above.

Pen 2479R Parker "Toothbrush" Duofold Standard. Jet Black  $195 SOLD
Yeah, a black "Toothbrush". Is it my fault you cannot see the black toothbrushes against the black background?

Overall Grade: Exc+
Metal: Exc Color:  Perfect CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Exc
Threads:  Exc clarity: NA
Point: Fine Semi-Flex Imprint:  Exc Size: 5 1/8" 12.9 cm
PRICE: $195 
COMMENTS: Essentially one year model 1939- early 1940. Toothbrush Duofold comes in four colors, counting Black. Black is the least common color, but of course is a bit less popular than the other colors, so tends to underprice those.  This one is very clean with smooth semi-flex nib. This is the larger size.
