Hello All,

 

Just thought it would be nice to share this little Parker with you as I don't think that they crop up all that often. And this one is in lovely condition.

 

Imprint: Parker Duofold Geo S Parker Made in Canada 44

 

It's about the size of a Junior, 121mm capped.

 

Probably a replacement Newhaven Nib. I've not yet dared to try and dismantle it.The sac seems to have petrified; the button has seen better days but is perfectly fine, and the pressure bar that's visible through the barrel looks great.

 

I love the cap, especially the cap end which looks like a Pineapple ring with a section eaten.

 

It doesn't have Bakelite included, so is it possible that this is a celluloid example?

nice looking pen.... can that "spider web" on the top be stabilized with a thin glue or similar?

Hi,

Do you mean on the cap end? If so then that is all part of the design. It looks as if it's coming apart, but it is in fact as smooth as it could be.

Yes, and I never would have guessed it was an intentional design piece.

I probably have to apologise, on the duplicate post RonZ seems to think that it is a celluloid pen and that is 'internal' damage. But I'm still over the moon with it.... it just needs a bit more TLC

      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
