Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1972-1974
This cased set comprises two writing instruments produced by Parker: a fountain pen and a matching roller ball pen. Both items are crafted from 18ct gold and feature an engine-turned textured finish on their respective barrels and caps, each including a vacant panel for engraving.
The fountain pen is hallmarked in London for 1974, while the roller ball pen bears a London hallmark for 1972. The fountain pen measures 13.5cm in length and weighs 27.4g. The roller ball pen measures 13cm in length and weighs 21.5g. These pens exemplify mid-20th-century luxury stationery, characterized by their high-karat gold composition and consistent decorative motifs. The set serves as an example of branded high-end Parker writing instruments from the early 1970s.
