Another Parker Id Help Please

[Larry Barrieau]

Hi, I found this parker in an antique store yesterday and bought it for $15. I was pondering the usual questions: Date, Model, Worth. I tried to find it in the penography sites and in the old postings here but I still can't ID it. From what I have read I might guess that it is Raven-like from the early 30's but the band is too small. The Black and Gold was a possibility too. Any way, it's a button filler and I resaced it and it writes very nicely with a little flex. I like it!

 

Thanks for your help.

Sure its a Parker? The nib isnt of course, button filler looks Parkerish, presume you can read summat that my tired eyes cannot on the barrel

Hi Beechwood, thanks for pointing out a glaring omission, the barrel imprint! It says - Geo,s-PARKER-made in U.S.A.

Thats a big clue! Sorry, I couldnt quite make it out.

Nib and cap seem to be replacement parts.

Thanks, I thought the blindcap must be hard rubber and faded.

The blind cap is hard rubber, but the cap and barrel seem to be celluloid. The nib was not made by Parker.

 

icardoth might be right that is a bunch of parts put together. A Parker barrel with a replacement cap, nib and maybe blind cap (although Permanite Parkers from that era still had hard rubber blind caps).

Thanks, that may be what it is. No matter, I had fun fixing it and I like writing with it. Thanks Florida.
