We recently acquired this combo pen in a collection.

Christmas Tree feed would be from the Duofold era. The cap finial is like nothing I've ever seen on a Parker, it looks more like an Equipoise. The pencil component unscrews and reveals the button filler mechanism.

 

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

 

Thanks!

depression era and100% correct.  Nib will probably be cracked. 
 

there are chased hard rubber, bronze and cream, black and bronze as well. 
 

at one time a group of collectors would chase these on auction and the price was high. Like all this stuff the prices retracted to reasonable again.

Thanks, FarmBoy! Good to know it's all correct.

Because they almost always are.  Very thin and most I've had were cracked.  Looking closer, there appears to be a crack right through the K.

So it is! Good eye Farm Boy.  Were the nibs thinner to save money during the depression, thinner nibs = less expensive pens?

Yes, absolutely, we've got good photos of the crack and disclose it in the listing.

 Right on, thank you. Thin nibs can definitely crack.

I'm guessing that make me one of the lucky ones for having one without a cracked nib.  🙂

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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
