Pen Heaven
The Duofold first appeared in the 1920s, and is considered a vital part of any pen collection.The
Parker Duofold is one of the most recognizable and long lasting
fountain pen designs. It helped establish Parker as a forerunner in the
manufacture of quality fountain pens. Launched in 1921, the original
Duofold was nicknamed the Big Red because it was made from bright red
rubber and measured 5.5 inches capped. Born in the age of jazz and Art
Deco, the Parker Duofold pen reflects the opulence and iconography of
its origins. It is a pen of exceptional character and distinctive
appearance. Duofolds remained popular in Europe up until the 60s and was
revived once again in the 1980s as Parker’s flagship model. In 1988
Parker celebrated its 100th anniversary by launching the Duofold
Centennial.Pen Heaven offers The Duofold in both fountain pen and rollerball in a
black with gold trim, or an amber check with gold trim. The fountain pen
comes with an 18-carat gold nib highlighted with platinum. Pen Heaven
also offers giftwrapping and a next day delivery option for a last
minute gift.
