Special Purchase Part 2 - Duke Lux Models $22 & Under


terim

Recommended Posts

These aren't our usual territory, but we did come across a nice trove of Duke models from a few years ago. These are well made, resin and metal construction, and the nibs we've tried have been very smooth. (They all seem to have to same medium-fine nib.)

 

Most are cartridge/converter pens, but a few have built in aerometric filling systems.

 

These are classically styled and some of them are rather eye catching. With the classy Duke deluxe packaging, they'd make great gifts.

 

We're offering them at prices which include free domestic US shipping. For some models, we'll give you the option to save a few dollars by declining the heavy Duke packaging and just having your pen shipped in a sturdy cardboard box protected by bubble wrap.

 

MODEL 911 (aka Shark) with green marble barrel (converter/cartridge)..... $22 with the Duke packaging, $18 without

We picked up some more Duke models and will be sliding them onto the web site over the next week. Most steel nibbed models will be under $25 and a couple under $15 if you skip the fancy box.

 

New models with steel nibs include:

 

Duke 2009 (aka Charlie Chaplin Tribute) -- very stout and stylish ($28)

Duke 9006 -- a neat blue matte barrel and a nib like a Parker Arrow ($22)

  • http://www.peytonstreet.com/pens/misc%20brands/duke_9006_4.jpg

Duke/Uranus 309 -- sleek metal pen with a conical nib ($24)

Duke Ruby -- pretty filigree cap, and we've read the ruby is real (??) ($20)

  • http://www.peytonstreet.com/pens/misc%20brands/duke_ruby_7.jpg

These four models went on the web site tonite. We only have a few of each model.

 

The following 14k and 18k models are queued up for photography and will start appearing soon. We'll have some interesting pens with unusual designs and a few with the "art pen" Duke nib, all at pretty crazy prices.

 

  • Duke Imperator
  • Duke Magnate
  • Duke Dream World
  • Duke Rhyme Star
  • Duke Formula 1

 

Please note these pens are not our typical fare, we just happened on a really good one-time deal and wanted to pass it on to our customers. (In some cases, quantities are limited to only a handful.)

 

Some of our regulars are concerned that we are moving away from vintage, but please don't worry -- that's where our hearts lie. That being said, we like the value offered by these pens, especially for those looking for their first fountain pen or a first one for a friend. We'll stand behind them, just as we do with our vintage/restored and new old stock pens.

 

Happy new year!

      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
