Nib: Duofold Fine 14k Gold
Parker 1930's Streamlined Duofold Junior De Luxe in Green Marble. Made in U.S.A. Button-fill Two bands on cap with wrap around g/f clip
Condition: Good; brassing on the clip and cap bands.. the cap and barrel shows normal wear. The barrel colour is darker ; When celluloid discolours, it generally darkens rather than fades. This discolouration is not superficial, and is irreversible. While excessive UV exposure is not good for celluloid, discolouration is usually the result of reactive sulphur compounds released by deteriorating ink sacs. Long-term exposure to certain inks can also stain celluloid. The celluloid pens most vulnerable to discolouration are button fillers, since their barrels are tightly sealed and leave no room for the reactive compounds to escape.
