PA3787 Parker Duofold Pencil.

PA3787 Parker Duofold Pencil.

Date: c1955

Size: Length - 126mm.

A full-sized glossy deep blue Duofold pencil that would have been paired with a Senior or Maxima sized Aerometric Duofold.  This is the large size pencil, about 1/4 inch longer than the more common No. 3 pencil.  It has all rolled gold trim, and a blue cap and barrel.  It is in excellent condition with no damage that I can see.  There is a very nice, crisp, and complete imprint on the barrel - "PARKER DUOFOLD / 5 /MADE IN ENGLAND". The cap is topped with a conical blue top jewel, which holds on the Parker arrow rolled gold pocket clip.  Below, at the cap lip, is a single "deco" engraved band.  This is a propel-repel pencil that works by twisting the cap.  The cap also pulls off to show a partly used and well petrified pink eraser.  I have fitted a fresh 0.9mm lead into the mechanism, so the pencil is all ready to go.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works very smoothly.
