Rare Parker Pens Advise Request


AriQ

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I am asking some advise as I just came in possession of some PARKER Pens after my uncle passed away.

He had a specialised shop and the pens I have were meant for selling, they are MINT in BOX and never been inked.

 

I am totally new to this and I am trying to understand if they do have any particular value, as after researching online I found out the might be pretty rare. I might be interested in selling them, but I am not really sure which might be a realistic evaluation.

 

I do have the following:

  • Parker DUOFOLD CENTENNIAL Memorial Fund for disaster relief ITALIAN Version (n. 1284/2000)
  • Parker Duofold Orange Centennial (Fine)
  • Parker Duofold Orange International (Fine)

 

I have posted some pictures to give an idea if needed.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who will be able to advise!

nice pens--i have the orange duofolds. i wouldn't call them rare, but they can be quite valuable, certainly a few hundred dollars. the best way of knowing what their market value is would be to go on ebay, go to "search," , choose "advanced" tick the "sold listings" option, and enter a term like "duofold centennial orange", like this:

 

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=duofold+centennial+orange&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=92101&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_sop=1&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1

 

you'll see something like $400 for the orange centennial, etc.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
