Parker Duofold Standard in Blue. 1956...

Regular price

The Parker Duofold Standard , along with the smaller Demi version, was the first Aerometric Duofold to be made in the Newhaven factory,1953.  This pen carries a date code on the barrel for the first quarter of 1956.

The pen is in excellent condition, it has a bright surface, with a clear imprint. The  Gold filling to the clip and decorated cap band is pristine.  The clip is secured by a colour coded 'jewel'.

The original, correct, No. 25 14Ct. Gold nib is straight and well aligned.  It  writes with a  medium line, and has the very pleasing 'soft' feel often associated with these pens.  It is a very comfortable and 'easy' writer.

At 13.2 cm. capped and 14.7 cm. posted the Duofold is an average sized pen in terms of length but is a good deal wider than most, giving it a very solid, chunky feel. 

The pen will be shipped in a new composite box.

The Parker Aerometric Duofolds of the 1950s were excellent writing instruments which sold very well, despite the competition from the ballpoint.  Parker probably under-priced the pen in order to resist the pressure.  Almost seventy years later the pen is still outstanding value, particularly when compared with a new Gold nibbed pen of similar quality.  It would make a very good vintage daily writer.
