[RARE] 1991 Parker Duofold Centennial Sterling Silver Godron Pen and Pencil Set

For your consideration is an exceptional and highly collectible Parker Duofold writing set featuring a Duofold Centennial Fountain Pen and matching Duofold Mechanical Pencil. Both the fountain pen and mechanical pencil are crafted in sterling silver with Parker's distinctive Godron ribbed finish and elegant gold-plated trim, showcasing the timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship that have made the Duofold collection one of Parker's most prestigious lines.

Included with the set are its original vintage accessories, including a black leather carry case and a classic bottle of imported French Waterman Florida Blue ink with the original box, making this an outstanding acquisition for collectors, enthusiasts, and lovers of fine writing instruments.

One of the highlights of this set is the fountain pen's factory-original 18K Two-Tone Gold Fine (F) nib, delivering a precise writing line of approximately 0.45 mm and providing the smooth writing experience for which Parker Duofold pens are renowned.

The overall appearance reflects careful ownership and authentic vintage character, with attractive age-related patina and light signs of use consistent with a well-preserved writing instrument set.

Condition

Overall, the set remains in very good vintage condition with excellent presentation throughout.

The fountain pen and matching mechanical pencil are structurally sound with no cracks, dents, repairs, or structural issues observed. Both pieces retain their classic Parker styling, including the iconic arrow clip, black resin accents, and substantial sterling silver construction, providing excellent balance and a premium feel in hand.

Cosmetically, both pieces show light surface wear consistent with normal use, including minor patina to the sterling silver and gold-plated trim, along with gentle micro-abrasions from handling and storage. These signs of age contribute to the authentic vintage appeal.

The matching mechanical pencil features a smooth twist-action mechanism designed to advance and retract 0.9mm lead with precision. The mechanism operates smoothly and functions as intended.

The included black leather pouch shows attractive vintage softening and light handling wear from age and storage.

The vintage Waterman "Encre Bleu Effaçable" Florida Blue ink bottle is included together with its original wave-pattern box, which shows mild shelf wear from storage over time.
