Here’s an array of True Blues!

In 1929 Parker introduced one of the most sought after of their low-priced school pens, known today by collectors as the "True Blue." This new slender blue and white swirled Permanite celluloid pen was called the "Three Fifty" in early Parker advertisements and the 1929 Parker catalog. The color was called "Modernistic Blue" in 1929 ads and the 1929 Parker Catalog and "True Blue" in 1930 ads and the 1930 Parker Catalog. The earliest Parker advertisement I could find showing this new pen line is in the May 19, 1929 Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph. The True Blue does not appear in the 1932 catalog, indicating that the line probably ran from 1929 through 1931.

The English Parker Victory Series was conceived and named in honour of the Allied Victory in World War II. The World War II slogan 'V' for Victory is well known even today and the name 'Victory' must have had a particular resonance in the years immediately following World War II.

This stylish Parker has been manufactured in stunning rare pattern - RED HATCHED CANDY STRIPED MARBLE with gold filled trim. It bears a Parker 14ct gold nib. The button system is in perfect working condition.

This Parker Victory has a classic elegance and has been produced to the highest standards of craftsmanship, technology and aesthetics. The pen has been fully restored and tested. This is rare and very much sought after, of such a collectible and vintage pen in excellent condition.

The Parker Pen Company was founded in 1888 by George S. Parker, whose mission was to manufacture a better pen. The Parker Pen Company's tradition epitomizes the highest standards of craftsmanship, technology, and aesthetics. In 1921, the company introduced the iconic Parker Duofold pen. Yet by the early 1930s, Parker launched replacement for Duofold, the Vacumatic. In 1941, the company developed the most widely used model of fountain pen in history (over $400 million worth of sales in its 30-year history), the Parker 51. It is also referred as 'the most wanted pen'. From the 1920s to the 1960s, Parker was No.1 in worldwide writing instrument sales.

GG’s fountain pen used at the time of writing The Heart of the Matter was a Parker New Style Duofold, see link below. However, I’ve also seen a photo of GG using what is most likely a Parker 51. The salient advantage of a fountain pen over a ballpoint for a writer is having to exert little or no pressure to write.

what is the cost of parker gold pen

The cost of a Parker Gold Pen can vary significantly depending on the specific model, design, and the market in which it is purchased. For example, classic Parker pens such as the Parker Sonnet Gold or the Parker Duofold Gold can range in price from approximately $100 to $300 or more, depending on the materials used (such as gold plating or solid gold), craftsmanship, and whether it is a limited edition.

This is a Classic Pens LS series prototype with a samurai design c. 2001-2005.  The Lambrou Sunami LS Collection was launched in 2001 as artwork done on Parker Duofold Centennial pens and each was a very small edition of about 15 pens in successive designs. The first pen was the LS1 Kirara (geometric) in 2001. That design comprises more than 1,000 individual strips of blue pearl and pure gold by Maki-E master Tatsuya Tōdō. The final pen in the series was the LS12 Shimarisu (chipmunks), released in 2004 with artwork by Maki-E master Shogetsu Mitani. The samurai design shown here is on a Pelikan fountain pen, a prototype for a proposed series of 15 pens. This design was also prototyped on the Parker Duofold Centennial.

The Parker Pen Company was founded in 1888 by George S. Parker, whose mission was to manufacture a better pen. The Parker Pen Company’s tradition epitomizes the highest standards of craftsmanship, technology, and aesthetics. From the 1920s to the 1960s, Parker was No.1 in worldwide writing instrument sales. The Parker Duofold is one of the most recognizable and enduring fountain pen designs. Launched in 1921, the pen was a phenomenal success and put the Parker Pen Company squarely into the front rank of fountain pen manufacturers. Duofold remain popular in Europe being produced well into the 60s in varying sizes and colors when it was revived in the 80’s once again as Parker’s Flagship model.

In 1932, Parker began test marketing the next generation in fountain pens, the Golden Arrow. This radical new pen featured a compact plunger-operated pump filler that nestled at the back end of the barrel, eliminating the space-hungry pressure bar and sac. The Golden Arrow was later renamed as Vacumatic. The Vacumatic went on the market in 1933; and discontinued in 1939, due to the introduction of new Aero-metric filler.

Parker pens were frequently selected to sign important documents such as the World War II armistices, and commemorative editions were sometimes offered.
