PARKER 1990 CENTENNIAL DUOFOLD, BLUE MARBLE, 18KT RARE LEFT HANDED NIB, 1990

Description

In 1981 Parker reissued a  modern version of the 1921 DuoFold.  Imagine yourself creating with a pen modeled after the one Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used to create Sherlock Holmes. How about a replica of the pen General Douglas MacArthur used to sign the documents that ended World War II.
I purchased this pen in 1990 with those thoughts.  It is a beautiful pen that was fitted with a left-handed nib at the Parker factory.  It has a light modern FH initials on the end cap of the pen you can barely see (see photo of the cap end).  I like the large size of the Centennial without the weight of some of the larger pens of that era like the  Waterman.
The pen works best with the converter. The Parker cartridges don't give me the same flow so I spend most of the time using the converter.
I found myself in a lot of airplanes traveling long distances in the late 1990's and moved to a Sheaffer cartridge pen so I did not have to carry a bottle of ink in my bags (international baggage handlers were not gentle). Around the turn of the century, it found itself relegated to my collection.  It has been with my pen collection in s a controlled environment for the last 20 years.  I am reducing my pen collection in my retirement and I think this pen deserves a good home.
The pen includes all of the original documents and package.
I am sorry about the freight cost of dollars, but the box and case will not fit in the smaller USPS Priority Mail box.
