PA3638 Parker Duofold Pencil.
Date: c1950s
Size: Length - 127mm.
A full-sized glossy India Black 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 black cap and barrel. It is in excellent condition with just some very minor surface wear to the cap and barrel. There is a clear imprint on the barrel - "PARKER / DUOFOLD / MADE IN ENGLAND". 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 the original but broken off 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.
