Parker and Waterman are old American pen
companies that migrated to Europe for business reasons. Both are currently owned by Newell Rubbermaid.
Both have made wonderful pens through the century. I'm particularly fond of Parker Vacumatics and Duofold
Juniors. English Parkers are also wonderful writers, often with flexible nibs

| Duofold Maxima
with Stub |
I've had to do some nib work on this big and otherwise very good Duofold
Maxima. It has a little brassing to the cap and tassie rings, but very clean
plastic and a reliable aerometric filler. The nib is an extremely
smooth broad stub with just a little flex on top. Fun for big signatures. 5
5/8", 143 mm.

| Parker Sonnet Firedance |
Sonnets are cartridge converter fillers. This one has a gold plated fine-medium
steel nib (some Sonnets have gold nibs). The nib is a very, very smooth
writer. Made in France. 5 1/4", 134 mm. Light desk wear. The
Firedance pattern is black and red lacquer over brass - very attractive.

Duofold Senior |
This is a dark blue English Duofold Senior. The nib is a #35 14 Kt fine.
The problem is a crack in the cap that I've repaired, but you can still see where
it ran. Cap lip cracks are never as stable as the original plastic, no
matter how well repaired. So this one is discounted quite a bit. Great nib.
Aerometric filler. 5 1/2", 140 mm.

| Parker Senior Duofold |
(205)
This black English Parker Duofold has a Fine/Medium 14 Kt Nib .
The number is 30, which is atypical for Senior Duofolds (most are 35). I did
some work on the nib, so the slight split you can see on the photo is long gone
- it's a very smooth writer. Almost no imprint left. Some brassing of the cap
band and clip. Aerometric filler. 5 1/2", 140 mm.

| Parker 51 Special -
Burgundy - Mint |
This is an aerometric Parker 51 Special, which means an Octanium nib and
lighter filler system. The cap is shiny Lustraloy. The price label is still
intact and indicates a medium nib. The filler system looks clean and
unused. I had a burgundy barrel to compare to and thought this was
plum, but the Mark II barrels are more red than regular aerometrics. Since
Specials were only made in burgundy (and four other colors) this must be
burgundy.

| Red Hard Rubber Senior Duofold |
An imperfect but still nice Red Hard Rubber Senior Duofold. What's wrong?
A very small chip and lip crack, for one. There's no pressure on the lip when
the pen is fully posted, so there's no reason this should get worse. But
it is there. The cap band is fairly brassed (could be polished to hide it,
but it's still brassed). The barrel threads are black. When rubbed, they smell
like rubber, but feel like plastic (I'd bet the latter). The imprint is a
bit worn, but completely present (see the middle photo). And the spring is
a two-piece spring, like those in a streamlined Duofold. Nib is fine and
semi-flexible. 5 1/2", 139
mm.

| Big Red Duofold
Set |
Spectacular set. The Permanite Senior Duofold pen from ~1927 has a wide
engraved band that reads, "Presented to // John Holzer Local 41 IBEW // Pres
1924-1927". The pencil, which is a Duofold Junior, reads the same.
The pen has a Christmas tree style feed, the lucky curve is broken off
internally (noted when I installed the new sac) (breaking the feed was a
typical step since the feed was inconvenient for the repairperson).
Plastic is in great shape. Imprint light but fully readable. Some
brassing, esp. of the clip ball and some of the clip itself. Rigid
fine nib writes well.
