Extraordinary Vintage Pens
1 Aurora 1929 Extraordinary Pens Duplex lever-fill Set in Jade with Black ends. The "Duplex" was Aurora's first celluloid pen. This is one of the rarer models, with its repousse clip having a floral filigree design and three cap bands. Even rarer to find it with its matching mechanical pencil. Medium, triple-flexible nib! The pen has some slight ambering (a bit more on the cap than the barrel), otherwise near mint in original box (box a bit threadbare on top). Close-up of set in box. $3750
2 Aurora 1929 Twist-activated pencil for above set. Set
3 Conklin 1917 S4 Crescent-fill in Red Mottled Hard Rubber. Very early model, with slip-cap (non-threaded). Sports the very early and rare Von Valkenberg spring loaded "Pat. Pend" rocker clip. GFT. #3, fine, triple-flexible nib. A perfect example! New-old-stock. Mint. $900
4 Grieshaber 1930 #2 LV ring-top "Painted" Set in BHR. Wonderful Art Deco highly geometric design in Green, Black, Orange and Gold. These hand-painted sets are incredibly difficult to find! Fine, flexible nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box. Close-up of set in box. $600
5 Grieshaber 1930 Twist-activated pencil for above set. Set
6 Columbus 1924 # 4 size Safety eyedropper-fill in Cardinal Hard Rubber (extremely rare!). Columbus started in 1919 and their first products were black safety pens. In 1924 they registered their trademark and changed from a one line to a three line barrel imprint. This is one of their earliest red hard rubber safeties, with its long cap. Broad nib. Has been filled, otherwise near mint in original box. Bottom seal unrestored. Close-up of pen in box. $3300
7 Omas 1945 Colorado double-barreled, double nibbed PIF in Black with "scissor" barrel configuration. NPT. Red dot & white dot on gripping sections so you know which side has which color ink. Incredible pen, almost never found in this condition. Shown open. The scissor "swivel" allows the user to fill each of the two reservoirs separately. Medium/fine nibs. Near mint. [Two available]. Shown open. One sold. $2300
8 Parker 1910 Model 15 Turban-Top eyedropper-fill in BHR with pearl slabs and "Filigree" cap. Note the turban-top is covered in G/F! #2 "Keyhole" nib (extra-fine, extra-flexible). Has been filled (100 years ago?), otherwise near mint+ $1500
9 Parker 1946 "Red Band" 51 button-fill in black. Parker's attempt to make a button-fill 51. Designed to alleviate the problem of flooding collectors in the Vacumatic-fill 51, it's quite rare today, as it didn't succeed in the marketplace. There are two versions, the earlier (like this example) with the red band in plastic, and the other with the red band made from aluminum. Most found have no barrel imprint, while a few have been found with the 1946 date code. Medium nib. Near mint. Shown open. $900
10 Torelli, Brad 2011 "139" Plunger-fill in Pearl Grey (Grey with Silver Pearl Striations). This is the same material Omas used for their Paragon. An incredibly beautiful celluloid, made by this master penmaker into an incredible pen reminiscent of Montblanc's masterpiece! Fine nib, with a tad of flex. New-old-stock. Mint. $1650
11 Waterman 1927 42 Continental Safety eyedropper-fill Set in 18K White & Yellow Rolled-gold (gold filled). Beautiful "spiral" pattern of alternating White RG wide floral open filigree and narrower Yellow RG filigree ovals. Cap top with repousse rose. Fine, flexible nib. Extremely rare, especially mint in the box with matching pencil! Bottom seal restored. Close-up of set in box. $3000
12 Waterman 1927 Twist -activated pencil for above set. Set
13 Waterman 1927 42 Continental Safety eyedropper-fill in 18K Rolled-gold (gold filled). "Grecian Garden" repousse design with raised Grecian column, urn, with flowers, vines and fleur-de-lis on a very finely pinstriped background. Repousse cap top and clip. Figural designs are extremely rare, especially when new-old-stock. Medium/fine nib. Mint in original box. Rear seal unrestored. Close-up of pen in box. $2100
14 Waterman 1900 0502 Straight-holder eyedropper-fill in gold-filled "Chased" pattern (often called "Snail"). A rare pen in wonderful condition. Rare "Star" nib (fine, extra-flexible). Indicia smartly engraved "AVR" ("AVR"). in Olde English script. A few scratches on the posting knob (which is imprinted "WATERMAN"), otherwise near mint $850
15 Waterman 1927 42 Continental Safety eyedropper-fill in 18K White & Yellow Rolled-gold (gold filled). Besides the exquisite two-color filigree work, what also makes this pen remarkable is that the overlay is on a RED RIPPLE pen! (3) panels of open Yellow RG filigree "Vines" and (3) panels of White RG open filigree "Flowers," each separated by a narrow "Barley" panel. Repousse cap top and foliate clip. Fine, flexible nib! New-old-stock. Mint in original box. Close-up of pen in box. $2200
16 Waterman 1927 42 Continental Safety eyedropper-fill in 18K Rolled-gold (gold filled). (3) panels of "wide filigree" each separated by narrower "Barley" panels. Cap top with repousse rose. Fine, flexible nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box. Bottom seal unrestored. Close-up of pen in box. $1750
17 Waterman 1929 Patrician LF in Black Plastic. Much rarer than Black Hard Rubber – when plastic was introduced (first by Sheaffer in Jade Green) the buying public wanted colorful pens, so far fewer were made in black. GFT. Wonderful, fine, flexible, italic nib. Near mint+ $1500
18 Waterman 1949 "Capitol" button-fill in Golden Web. The only Golden-Web Waterman found to date! The button-fill and washer clip are also very rare, as is the later use of an Aikin Lambert trademark (AL, who were Waterman's nib supplier, was acquired by Waterman in the early 1900's, allowing them to move nib production in-house). Quite likely made in England, as the nib is imprinted "Watermans 14CT W-2B." Fine nib. GFT. New-old-stock. Mint $750
Featured Vintage Pens - Parker Duofold
19 Parker 1923 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Hard Rubber. Rare model with the "Giant" imprint (1921 - 1923). The 1922 model had no cap band. The single raised cap band (which Parker called the "Golden Girdle") was added and used from 1923 to1928 (decorative, and it prevented innumerable cap lip cracks). GFT. The earliest of the Duofolds we have available. The name "Duofold" was trademarked in 1922; the red and black color combination was eventually patented (1927). Rare, broad, italic nib. Slight posting mark on the barrel under the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. $700
20 Parker 1923 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Hard Rubber. The "Medium" imprint was used from 1923 to 1925. GFT. Extra-fine nib. The slightest color difference on the barrel where it is protected by the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. See matching pencil below. $650
21 Parker 1923 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Hard Rubber. The "Medium" imprint was used from June, 1923 through sometime in 1925.

The slightest color difference on the barrel where it is protected by the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. See matching pencil below. $700
22 Parker 1923 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Hard Rubber. The "Medium" imprint was used from June, 1923 through sometime in 1925. This example has the rarer wide "Banner" (scroll, containing the words "Lucky Curve"). GFT. Medium/broad nib. The slightest color difference on the barrel where it is protected by the cap. Wear only to the words ":Lucky Curve" inside the scroll, otherwise near mint+. See matching pencil below. $650
23 Parker 1924 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Hard Rubber. The "Small" imprint was used from 1926 on. GFT. Medium/fine nib. The slightest color difference on the barrel where it is protected by the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. See matching pencil below. $550
24 Parker 1924 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Hard Rubber. The "Small" imprint was used from 1926 on. GFT. Medium, flexible nib – flexible Duofold nibs are very rare! The slightest color difference on the barrel where it is protected by the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. See matching pencil below. $600
25 Parker 1924 Duofold Sr. "Big Bro" Pencil in Red Hard Rubber. GFT. Matches any of the five pens above. Near mint+. [Two available]. [Buy with any of the pens at $250]. $300
26 Parker 1923 Lady Duofold in Red Hard Rubber. Rare model with the "Giant" imprint (1921 - 1923) and raised cap band. One of the earliest of the Duofolds we have available. Extraordinarily deep and crisp barrel imprint! Medium/fine nib. Slight posting mark on the barrel under the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. $350
27 Parker 1923 Duofold Sr. BF in Black Hard Rubber. The "Medium" imprint was used from June, 1923 through sometime in 1925. This example has the rarer wide "Banner" (scroll, containing the words "Lucky Curve"). GFT. Medium/broad nib. A little imprint wear, mostly to the words "Lucky Curve" inside the scroll, otherwise near mint. See matching pencil below. $400
28 Parker 1923 Duofold Sr. BF in Black Chased Hard Rubber. The chased model is extremely rare! The "Medium" imprint was used from June, 1923 through sometime in 1925.. GFT. Fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint. See matching pencil below. $850
29 Parker 1925 Duofold Sr. "Big Bro" Pencil in Black Hard Rubber. Rare early second model, with the short, chased, straight-sided cap top (the first model had a larger "Duofold" imprint). Matches any of the black hard rubber above. [Buy with either of the pens above at $250]. $300
30 Parker 1926 Duofold Sr. BF in Black Hard Rubber. The "Small" imprint was used from 1926 onwards. Raised, single cap band. GFT. Medium/fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint. $450

32 Parker 1926 Duofold Sr. Box in Red with Black ends (designed to match the "Big Red"). Features the Scarlet Tanager, used in many of Parkers advertising and promotion activity, i.e., "The Duofold rivals the beauty of the Scarlet Tanager." Filling instructions folded inside box and printed on the bottom. No tears, but is shopworn. Previous owner's name hand written on the bottom of the box, "H. Woodridge Martha Okla." I didn't look up the 1926 history of Martha, OK, but in 2000 it had a population of all of 205 people. This perhaps makes the box more interesting! Excellent. Close-up of box. $85
33 Parker 1926 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Celluloid. Parker called this plastic "Permanite." It was stronger than rubber and could be produced in different colors. Sheaffer had already introduced their "Lifetime" pen in Jade Green (1924). Parker persuaded DuPont to sell them the celluloid despite their exclusive contract with Sheaffer. Sheaffer filed suit and Parker won by proving that they had actually introduced a plastic pen before Sheaffer, even though it was casein (milk based) rather than celluloid (cellulose nitrate based). GFT. New-old-stock. Mint. [Four available (all mint): (2) fine nib; (1) medium nib ; (1) broad nib ] All four sold $450
34 Parker 1926 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Celluloid. Rare Canadian model with "Giant" imprint and wide banner. An extremely rare model! GFT. Medium/broad nib. New-old-stock. Mint. $600
35 Parker 1927 Duofold Sr. BF in Green Permanite. The first color introduced by Parker after cardinal (red). GFT. 1926 models did not have "Duofold" imprinted on the barrel. Parker hedged their bets by protecting the "Duofold" name should the green color have failed in the marketplace. It succeeded, and Parker soon added "Duofold" to the barrel imprint. Medium nib. Two things of note: first, the early examples, like this one, are far more translucent than the later versions, and second, jade Duofolds are almost always found highly discolored – this example has perfect color. New-old-stock. Mint. [See matching pencil below]. $1000
36 Parker 1926 Technically, not a Duofold Sr. Pencil, since it has the earlier non-Duofold "Parker" imprint in serif type. Matches the pen above. [Buy with pen above @ $175]. $225
37 Parker 1926 Duofold Jr. BF in Lapis Lazuli Blue-on-Blue. Canadian manufacture. GFT. Medium, flexible nib (flexible Duofold nibs are rare!). New-old-stock. Mint. Barrel imprint has been highlighted in red. I will remove this on request. $325
38 Parker 1926 Duofold Sr. BF in Black Permanite. GFT. Medium nib. Near mint+. [See matching pencil below]. $350

40 Parker 1927 Duofold Sr. BF in Lapis Lazuli Blue-on- Blue. With 1927 came the design change from the single raised cap band to the single flush cap band. GFT. Medium, flexible nib (flexible Duofold nibs are rare!). Barrel a tad darker where it is protected by the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. $750
41 Parker 1927 Duofold Sr. BF in Lapis Lazuli White-on- Blue. GFT. Medium, flexible nib (flexible Duofold nibs are rare!). Barrel a tad darker where it is protected by the cap, and is overall darker than the cap. But otherwise near mint+, and a great user with its flexible nib and much reduced price! $450
42 Parker 1927 Duofold Sr. BF in Mandarin Yellow. George Parker visited Japan and bought a vase with yellow cloisonne. On display in his office, the color was so admired that he decided to make a pen in the color. While at first successful, it soon became the lowest selling color in the Duofold line. The first version has yellow barrel threads which easily stained, and was quickly changed to black threads, like this example. The yellow celluloid became fragile over the years and cap lip cracks are very common. This one is perfect. GFT. Medium, italic nib. New-old-stock. Mint. $1550
43 Parker 1927 Duofold Jr. BF in Red Permanite. GFT. Medium, italic nib. New-old-stock. Mint. [Two available: (1) Medium, italic nib; (1) fine nib ]. [See pencil below]. Both sold $175
44 Parker 1925 Duofold Jr. Pencil in Red Permanite. GFT. In 1926 two black bands were added to the ends of the barrel, so it better matched the color design of the pen. New-old-stock. Mint. [Buy with pen above @ $50] $75
45 Parker 1925 Lady Duofold BF ring-top in Red Permanite. GFT. Early model, with a wide gold-filled cap band. Barrel imprint says "Lady Duofold." New-old-stock. Mint. [Three available: (2) fine nib -; (1) extra-fine nib]. All three sold $90
46 Parker 1928 Lady Duofold BF ring-top in Red Permanite. GFT. Later model, with (3) gold-filled cap bands. Barrel imprint says "Lady Duofold." Double-broad, italic nib! New-old-stock. Mint. [See pencil below]. $90
47 Parker 1926 Duofold ring-top Pencil in Red Permanite. GFT. Matches pen above. New-old-stock. Mint. [Buy with pen above at $25]. $40
48 Parker 1935 Duofold BF ring-top in Lapis Lazuli White-on-Blue. GFT. Barrel imprint says "Duofold Parker" on two lines, and has a 1935 date code. This is either very late production of a straight-sided pen, or is fitted with a replacement barrel manufactured six or seven years after the original pen was sold. In either case, it's unusual and rare. Fine nib. Outstanding color! New-old-stock. Mint. [See pencil below] $175
49 Parker 1927 Duofold ring-top Pencil in Lapis White-on-Blue. GFT. Matches pen above. Outstanding color! New-old-stock. Mint. [Buy with pen above @ $50]. $75
50 Parker 1928 Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Permanite. 1928 brought with it a design change from 1 flush cap band to 2 flush narrower bands. GFT. New-old-stock. Mint. [Three available: (1) fine nib; (2) medium/broad nib.] All three sold. $475
51 Parker 1928 Parker Osmia AG Duofold Sr. "Big Red" BF in Red Permanite. In 1928 Parker bought controlling interest in the Osmia Pen Company in Heidelberg, Germany, forming Parker AG. Soon afterwards, Duofolds began to be manufactured there, and "Parker - Osmia A-G Heidelberg" became part of the barrel imprint. The venture was unsuccessful and was disbanded early in 19. Today, Parker Osmia Duofolds are very rare and highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Medium nib. New-old-stock. Mint. $750
52 Parker 1928 Parker Osmia AG Duofold Special BF in Red Permanite. Parker introduced the "Special" is 1923 for customers who wanted a full length lighter than the Sr. (or who just didn't want to buy a "Junior" pen). Some barrels, like this example, were imprinted "Parker Duofold Special" others imprinted "Parker Duofold JL" (for 'Junior Long'), and others (I believe most of the production) were simply imprinted "Parker Duofold" with no designation for the extra length indicated in the imprint. Please see the pen above for the explanation of the Duofold Osmia production. Exceptionally rare pen! Fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint. $600
53 Parker 1928 Duofold Jr. BF in Red Permanite. GFT. Medium nib. New-old-stock. Mint. [See matching pencil below]. $175
54 Parker 1931 Duofold Jr. BF in Red Permanite. GFT. In 1931 Parker introduced the 2-line "Parker Duofold" barrel imprint, as is found in this example. This is actually rarer than the earlier "banner" imprint (see pen above). Medium, italic nib. New-old-stock. Mint. [See matching pencil below]. $185
55 Parker 1926 Duofold Jr. Pencil in Red Permanite. Has the black bands at both ends of the barrel, to match the pen design. GFT. New-old-stock. Mint. [Buy with either pen above @ $75] $100
56 Parker 1928 Duofold Sr. BF in Pearl & Black. GFT. This color was introduced in 1928. User grade, but only because of the barrel ambering (otherwise near mint). Offset by the very rare and extra-smooth, extra-flexible nib! $400
57 Parker 1928 Duofold Sr. BF in Pearl & Black. GFT. Some light ambering, more than offset by the very rare broad, italic nib! Otherwise near mint. $500
58 Parker 1928 Duofold Jr. BF in Lapis Lazuli White-on-Blue. GFT. Canadian manufacture. Medium nib. Exceptionally deep and crisp barrel imprint. Barrel a little darker where it is protected under the cap, otherwise mint. New-old-stock. $225
59 Parker 1929 Duofold Sr. BF in Lapis Lazuli White-on-Blue. 19 saw the design change of the entire Duofold line becoming streamlined, in response to Sheaffer introducing their "Balance" pen (Wahl responded with the "Equipoised, Conklin with the "Symetrik," and Waterman with the Patrician). Medium nib. New-old-stock. Most found with discolor, this example is mint with exceptional color! [See matching pencil below] $800
60 Parker 1929 Duofold Sr. Pencil in Lapis Lazuli White-on-Blue. New-old-stock. Mint with exceptional color! [Buy with pen above @ $250]. $300
61 Parker 1935 Duofold Sr. BF in Black.1930 saw a design change in the barrel imprint from the single line "DUOFOLD" to the double line "PARKER DUOFOLD." Black is rare as folks wanted color, especially during these depression years. Very hard to find today! GFT. This is a 1934 or 1935 example, correctly fitted with Parker's "comb" feed and "arrow" nib, also being used in their new Vacumatic line. Very rare stub, right oblique nib (slants upwards from left to right). New-old-stock. Mint. [See matching pencil below]. $550

65 Parker 1930 Duofold Sr. BF in Moderne Green & Pearl. Parker introduced this color after the start of the depression. It was not overly successful and is today very hard to find. The celluloid was also very prone to both darkening and crazing, so examples with near mint color and mint condition, such as this one, are very hard to find. GFT. Fine nib. Has no bladder (I'll install a latex bladder on request). New-old-stock. $650
66 Parker 1935 Duofold Sr. BF in Pearl & Black. This successful color was first introduced in 1928 and "streamlined" in 19. This is a 1934 or 1935 example, correctly fitted with Parker's "comb" feed and "arrow" nib, also being used in their new Vacumatic line. Normally found highly ambered, this example has almost perfect color and is otherwise mint. GFT. Stub, oblique nib (slants upwards from left to right). New-old-stock. [See matching pencil below] $500

75 Parker 1930 Duofold Juniorette BF in Moderne Green & Pearl. Parker introduced this color after the start of the depression. It was not overly successful and is today very hard to find.

Fitted with a latex bladder. New-old-stock. Original label on the bottom of the blind cap. [See matching pencil below] $200
76 Parker 1930 Duofold Juniorette Pencil in Moderne Green & Pearl. GFT. New-old-stock. Mint. [Buy with pen above @ $60] $90

Medium/broad nib. Minor signs of wear, but really quite nice. Excellent+. Close-up of desk set. $200
