COMMENTS: Parker Jack Knife Safety 20 pen in smooth black hard rubber and nickel trim. Flat ends. The Jack Knife Safety model is the predecessor of the Duofold. Clipped cap. Short version model. Fitted with a 14k Parker Lucky Curve #2 wet noodle nib that writes a medium to triple broad line. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed.

A significant amount on the value of this offering is on the unique and very desirable attributes of this flex and rare nib. The smooth black rubber is in perfect condition.

COMMENTS: Parker DQ in black hard rubber with longitudinal lines throughout the barrel and cap of the pen. Gold trim and a wide gold band by the cap lip. DQ" stood for Duofold Quality. This is an early model, made after most of the jack Knife safety model pens were getting discountinued and as the iconic Duofold model was getting launched. Fitted with a 14k monotone Parker Lucky Curve #2 superflex nib that writes a fine to double broad line. Smooth nib, capable of wriitng at any speed when not flexed. However, this nib is graded as a user-grade nib as it has a crack starting from below the "Y" letter in the Lucky word and going all the way to the base of the nib, as shown in the close up picture of the nib. Priced accordingly due to this flaw. Other than this, this is an extremely clean pen. Correct "Christmas Tree" feed. The black rubber is in very good condition with minimal discoloration. Faint chasing. Gold trim is in awesome condition. Button filler. New sac. Made in the USA in circa 1924.

COMMENTS: Valentine 04 fountain pen in "Lined Rose Silver and Burgundy" celluloid color and chrome trim. The Valentine pen Company was a British pen manufacturer that was acquired by the Parker Pen Company. The Valentine facility became the beloved and iconic Parker Newhaven factory, which manufactured phenomenal and high quality pens and nibs for many decades. Sadly, this facility was recently closed in the last couple of years, which I consider a tragedy to fountain pens. This particular offering is for a pen model that is 100% Valentine pen. There are some transitional pens sharing certain features from both, the Valentine and the Parker companies. Eventually, all pens at the Newhaven plant were 100% Parker. The Lined Rose Silver and Burgundy color is an absolutely gorgeous celluloid color, also referred by some as the "Candy Cane" color. This is the focal point of this pen. This pen model is very similar to the famous Parker Victory and the English Duofolds with the flat-tops and slightly tapered barrels and caps. Fitted with an English monotone 14ct Valentine nib that writes a broad line. Ultra smooth nib. The cellulloid color is in awesome condition and it has the maximum transparency, but only towards the cap lip. Good barrel imprints. Lever piece has lots of brassing. Clean clip. Lever filler. Made in England circa 1940.

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.
