Condition:

This rare American made Parket Duette Senior fountain pen, also referred to as a "Thrift Time" or "Depression" pen, is in overall excellent condition with vibrant red and black marble coloring.  The barrel has some light scratches and wear, the barrel has a name inscription.  The clip is in excellent condition, the three cap rings have some wear and brassing.  The nib appears to have a small fissure below the air hole when looking through 30x magnification.   The pen has been cleaned, a new ink sac installed, and it has been tested.  The pen fills nicely.  This is an absolutly a lovely and rare example of a c. 1933 Parker Duette Sr.
