1935 Parker Parkette Flat Or Rounded?

[Larry Barrieau]

Hi, I got this pen yesterday at the Commonwealth Pen Show. When I got home I looked it up in Parker Pens Penography and the ends in the pictures there looked rounded and these don't. See pictures. (" Somewhat cryptic the 1935 catalogue shows a design with a flat, black top that seems to be very illusive indeed. More common are the rounded versions.") from the Penography.

 

So my question is are these ends flat or rounded? Thanks for your help.

Hi,

 

I came across this pen in a box of old pens I've had for simply ages, waiting to be looked at and worked on and, as you did, I looked at Tony's web page and had a similar thought. Mine certainly isn't as nice as yours, being plain black with a very tarnished clip, but after fitting a new sack and giving it a thorough flush, it certainly turned out to be a nice littlw writer. I did messsage Tony to ask hi thoughts, but I think he must be pretty busy. Enen if they aren't the ellusive flat-tops, still very nice pens.
