COMMENTS: Parker Jack Knife Safety 24 pen in smooth black hard rubber and nickel trim. Short version, measuring 4 5/16" (capped) and 5 3/4" (posted). This pen has very wide diameter with a larger sized vintage flex nib. Fitted with a 14K Parker Lucky Curve #4 with the "banner" style imprint on the nib, a more valuable nib. This is a superflex BB stub nib. Ultra smooth nib capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. When not flexed, this nib writes just like a firm BB stub nib.

PRICE: $395

COMMENTS: Parker Jack Knife Safety 24 1/2 in black chased hard rubber and nickel trim. Clipped cap. This is an oversized pen for vintage standards, fairly thick in diameter and a fairly large nib. The Parker Jack Knife Safety model is the predecessor of the Parker Duofold model. Jack Knife pens were made in different models/sizes. Fitted with its correct 14k Parker Lucky Curve #4 superflex nib that writes a fine to double broad line. Smooth nib, capable of very thin lines and also capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. Nib has the very slim and very long tines, making it a more desirable and a more valuable flex nib. Correct Christmas tree feed. This pen has multiple cosmetic flaws. Hence the reason it is graded as in "good" condition, but it is not as severe as to having to be graded in "user grade" condition. The black rubber has some discoloration, more pronounced is some areas of the cap. The nickel clip has significant brassing and patina. The blind cap has a couple of areas that are chipped off. The nib has a hairline at its base. Great chasing and imprints on the cap and barrel. Button filler mechanism.  New sac. Made in USA in the later part of the 1910s.

COMMENTS: Parker Parker Jack Knife Safety 20 1/2 in black chased hard rubber and nickel trim. Clipped cap. Full size version. Fitted with a 14k Parker Lucky Curve with Scroll #2 wet noodle nib that writes a fine to triple broad line. Professionally adjusted nib. In my flexibility scale from zero to 100, this nib is graded at 90. Likewise, in my responsiveness scale from zero to 10, this nib is graded at 9. The combination of these attributes makes this nib an ultra rare, highly desirable and a very valuable nib. Correct "Christmas Tree feed. Perfect barrel imprints. Exterior color has some discoloration. Nickel trim has significant brassing. Threads in between cap and barrel have some wear and they close, but on the tight side. Blind cap has the correct 20 1/2 imprint. Button filler. New sac. Made in USA in the later part of the 1910s.

Nib Type: Fine, Springy                       Imprints: No                      Length: 5"    
PRICE: $230

COMMENTS: Parker Lucky Curve in black chased hard rubber and gold trim. Streamlined profile. Flat-top and full sized pen. Fitted with a 14K Parker nib that writes a fine line. I would grade this nib as a springy nib. It is not a flexible nib as it will not produce line variation, but it will provide a little "cushion" feel when using it. Professionally adjusted nib. So smooth it glides on paper. Great black rubber color with perfect chasing and lots of black luster and gloss. Perfect barrel imprints. Perfectly clean gold trim. If it were not for a tiny dent in the nib right under the "K" letter, this pen would be marked as in mint condition. It is very hard to find  vintage pens that are about 100 years old in this condition. Button filler mechanism. New sac. Made in Canada in the 1920s.

COMMENTS: Parker Duofold Senior in Lapis Lazuli and gold trim. Flat ends in black rubber.  Cap with the wide single gold band. This is a great looking oversized pen in one of the most desired colors. Blue color is in great condition and even in between the cap and the barrel, making it a more valuable pen. Fitted with a huge 14K Parker Duofold #8 broad (and stubbish) nib. While this nib is not a true stub nib, it is very close to being one as it is able to produce  thicker vertical lines than horizontal lines (see writing sample). Ultra smooth nib with full iridium tipping and with very rounded edges. This is a very expressive nib and one that provides a true joy to write with. This nibs is also significantly more valuable than the more common fine and extra fine nibs these pens came fitted with. Correct Christmas tree feed. The gold trim has some gold plating loss, mainly on the cap band and the clip ball. Otherwise, this is an extremely clean pen. Button filler. Made in USA in the late 1920s.​
