Melbourne Pen Show

[emster]

Hi there,

 

some other collectors recently did an exhibition of our Parker vintage pens at the Melbourne pen show, in an authentic duofold wooden case. Here are some photos of just my pens, all flat top duofolds. (This is my first time posting pictures so hope this works!)

Fabulous !!

That has got to be the nicest display of vintage Duofolds that I have ever seen!

They all look to be in mint condition?

 

Thanks for sharing.

Glad you like it. Some are in mint condition (see the juniors with stickers attached) as are some of the lady duofolds. I don't have any mint condition seniors (they are very rare) but they are all in excellent condition, I am particularly proud of the senior bandless which has no cracks and has a very deep "giant" imprint. I purchased it from Al Maymen of Penultimate and but he still uses a picture of it to head up his home page (I should be charging royalties!). It took me years to find one I wanted. The jade 'special" almost has perfect colour and is in near mint condition and I have the matching pencil. Still many more to collect.

Great collection. I just finished reading the Duofold book. Wow! I never realised that there were so many variations. I particularly like the desk tapers that could be added to existing pocket duofolds.
