Recommended Posts

I'm selling two beautiful items on eBay, both Parker Duofold Special Editions in Orange: a fountain pen and a mechanical pencil in mint condition, with original papers, boxes (including beautiful black American Maple display boxes):-

Both are UK made and have 'IIIQ' on the gold bands (someone may know what that signifies - date of manufacture ?). They were bought new in the mid-'90s and haver never been used. One retailer is selling the FP for over $900 and the pencil for just under $400. On current bidding, it looks like they're going to go for a lot less than that.

 

You can find the pen here: Duofold Orange SE Centennial and the pencil: Duofold Centennial SE Orange Mechanical Pencil.

 

If you have the same problem in seeing all the photos that I sometimes do, please let me know.

 

Happy bidding !

 

Regards Richard

I see them....beautiful

 

You do ? Thank you so much -that's a relief !

 

For some reason they don't appear at all in any of my browsers, but they do in 'edit' mode on eBay. It must be a problem in this Powerbook setup - although all the images in previous listings appear normally. Don't know what's going on.

 

Thank you again - it's been driving me crazy for the last 36 hours. I was hoping one kind person on this Forum would help and give me feedback. EBay drives me CRAZY at times. :crybaby:

 

They are beautiful and I will be sad to part with them, but they've been sitting in a box for years, so it makes sense for someone else to get some pleasure from them.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
