This Parker Duofold Junior pencil dates from the 1920s, later ones had a black band at the top of the barrel.
The pencil is in outstanding, near mint condition and works perfectly. Finished in Coral Red with Gold filled trim, it has a clear imprint identifying it as a U.S.A. made
'Parker Duofold Jr.'
and the clip bears the Parker name along with
'Pat Sep 5--16'
The eraser looks virtually unused, and, although it is possibly a replacement, its condition is entirely in keeping wjith the rest of the pencil.
Parker Duofold pencils of this age are obviously not easy to find and it is really quite rare for one to survive in such remarksble condition.
