Parker Wooden Box?

[Parcival]

I have this box. I do not know whether it is original and how old it is. Looks 10-20 years. Has anyone seen similar?

[joss]

Yes it is a Parker original. It was sold as an accessory item for the modern Parker Duofold pens, probably of the 1980-2000 era. This item included an ink bottle.

Very nice Parker box! Interestngly, I have an almost identifcal box made by Levenger and sold through their catalog many years ago--identical in every detail except the Levenger box has a more standard type of hinge. I received it as a gift and it has the name Levenger imprinted into the bottom. I'll bet Levenger modeled their design on that Parker box. It's a very handy, practical and attractive pen holder. Enjoy!.

it's a parker desk set made for the duofold series.

the black hole is for the penman ink bottle.

Thanks for the answers. I bought the box from a local auction for about $ 6 with postage included. I have a lot Parker Duofold pen's and this box is a good addition to them. I have to clean it up and I find this ink - the parker penman ink bottle.

Hello, this my first post and I thought I would share this with the forum

I have had this from new and it is immaculate condition. I also have 5 bottles of penman ink four still in their original boxes and one empty blue sapphire bottle.

I have ordered a local carpenter to replicate and make a few of such boxes for me.

I know this is an old thread but I couldn't find anywhere else that mentions wooden Parker pen boxes. Thought I'll add a photo of mine here. I'm trying to date mine, too. This came with a set of flighter mechanical pencils.

I've never seen one of these ANYWHERE.  Of course, I may have missed this thread before now.

I do have boxes for some of the pens I've gotten, but never as nice as this desk set one.

I have never seen these boxes either but I WANT one!

I'll let you in on a secret. I was more than happy when my wife brought that home.

 

I am at a critical junction....I have space for two more narrow inkwell set in my library den.

That Lansky sharpening set can go to a flea market....after I sharpen a pair of scissors, in I still mostly use an Arkansas stone.

If I move the watch case and Cochran's Law Lexicon**, there is even more space!!!

Wow, looking hard, I have space for three more narrow as that Parker inkwell sets!!!.................................and no more.

 

** If you write you end up with lots of 'odd' books....It was out laying flat on the shelf, in case I should need it, I'd not have to go hunting for it.

I have a couple of these plus s "Parker Club" box. They are finished really nicely.  One came with an almost full bottle of penman emerald.

I will grab a photo when I can.

The light coloured one looks like cedar. The dark ones i have no idea on the wood type.
