VINTAGE 40's STRIPED PARKER DUOFOLD SENIOR VACUMATIC FOUNTAIN PEN Estate Find

Description: VINTAGE 40's STRIPED PARKER DUOFOLD SENIOR VACUMATIC FOUNTAIN PEN Estate Find! Measures 5-3/8" long (135mm) This is from a web page on Parker Duofold pens........ The largest model, called the Senior, had three cap bands, the middle one being very wide. Later, in mid 1941, the model adopted the ///\\\/// pattern also found on the very popular (confusingly enough) Major Vacumatics. Initially it sported a blind cap tassie, or rather a girdle, that gave the underlying material the appearance of a "jewel", but this feature was removed in 1942. The clip also had the blue diamond, introduced with the Parker "51". A ladies version of this pen, the Ingenue, was also offered. Later items had a nice two-tone nib with a V engraved under the breather hole, reaching for the nib wings. hree kinds of fillers in the striped Duofold line were offered. The first had an aluminium speedline filler (1940-1942), the second a later style plastic vacumatic filler (1942-1948) and the third kind was a Duofold style button filler. The striped Duofolds were offered in four colours: Black; Blue, Silver and Black (Blue);Pink, Silver and Black (Maroon), Green, Gold and Black (Green); and Black. The black was however not offered in all models. There was also a period during 1942 when Parker decided to clean out old stocks, letting us collectors find many un-catalogued variants of Vacumatics and Vacufolds. Over a hundred variations of the striped Duofolds have been found.
