The First Parker I Have Bought In Years

[Alan801]

Hi,

I went to an antiques emporium yesterday and came across this Parker senior duofold looking at it I presume that it is from the late fifties or early sixties. If anyone knows better I would like to know. This is the first parker that I have bought in years, for some reason they just haven't appeals to me.

On getting home and inking it up I was surprised at how well it wrote and using the semi italic scrawl that is my handwriting it was nice to see fill stops like little diamonds. I currently have Herbin anniversary edition 1670 ink in it and it looks great on the page.

A beautiful pen and a nice surprise for you. Enjoy!

Very nice pen! The blue is a lovely color.

 

I think that particular Duofold was made between 1953 and 1958. Parker discontinued using the name "Senior" after 1958 and began using the name "Maxima."
