Set of four Parker Duofold Centennial orange fountain pens
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
post-1988
This collection comprises four fountain pens from the Parker Duofold Centennial series. The pens are crafted from orange ebonite with contrasting gold finish accents, including clips and rings.
The set features two distinct ink-filling mechanisms: three of the pens utilize a plunger loading system, while the fourth, representing a more modern iteration, employs a cartridge loading system. The maximum length of the instruments in this set is 13.5 cm. These pens represent the revival of the iconic Parker Duofold line, which was reintroduced in 1988 to commemorate the Parker Pen Company's 100th anniversary. The Duofold Centennial series was designed to evoke the classic aesthetic of original early 20th-century models while incorporating updated technical features.
The pens exhibit visible signs of use and wear, reflecting their history as functional writing instruments. The design is characterized by the vibrant orange body and standard Parker decorative elements, consistent with the brand's flagship offerings from the late 20th century.
