PA3642 Parker Duofold No. 3 Pencil.
Date: c1950s
Size: Length - 117mm.
A very pretty glossy jet black No. 3 Duofold pencil from I would think the late 1950s. This pencil is in excellent condition with no damage that I can see. It has all rolled gold trim, and a glossy black cap and barrel. There is a clear, if shallow, imprint on the barrel. The cap is topped with a conical black 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 an apparently barely used but 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.
