One of the few times that i bought something on ebay. If i ever get rich i will get a senior size in the same colour.

Wow, that looks incredibly clean!

 

Very nice find.

So cute.

Eye-poppingly gorgeous. Congratulations.

Thanks, it is a nice set but a bit on the small side, that´s why a senior would be perfect, but they are too expensive for me at the moment.

Great color. Note that the style is "Streamline" (or Streamlined), not "Slimline."

 

Enjoy it.

Should be right now.

Thanks.

[farmdogfan]

Thank you Inga.

I wish you prosperity. the Senior can cost a couple of grand.

My suggestion: Do not post the cap.

[farmdogfan]

Thank you Sasha, what material are they made of since they break so easy?

Touchet! I bought an identical pair a couple of months ago only my pencil is very slightly lighter than the pen

[farmdogfan]

Nice pens, but small.

[peterg]

Yes, and I daren't put any ink in it in case it stains the plastic. Such are the problems with valuable pens. Somewhere I have a senior too but it needs a new sac and cleaning.

i tried to write with it but it´s too small without the cap, so i probably won´t be using it much.

Is that a mandarin yellow senior you have?.

Celluloid, but for whatever reason the Mandarin celluloid is much more brittle than the other colors that Parker used. Mandarin Duofolds often have cracks or chips on the edge of the cap.

 

Very fine set! Congrats.

[farmdogfan]

Thanks, yes i noticed that many mandarins have cracks, this one allso has a tiny crack in the cap below the rings. So i won´t be using it very much.

i sold a very fine set of these (a senior and a junior, below) to a friend a couple of years ago, for not too much (he collects yellow pens, and this would have crowned his collection)--i even threw in a pencil for free i then went out to hunt for another set; unfortunately i couldn't find one just as nice, in the same price range, but even a slightly flawed mandarin looks good.

Wow, they are fabulous looking pens.

More gorgeous Mandarins!

 

I think I could make do with a nice Black Senior though, a grail pen of mine.
