When George Parker was travelling in China in the mid 1920s, his wife persuaded him to buy a beautiful yellow cloisonné vase. When he returned to the USA, this vase inspired him to create examples of the Parker Duofold in mandarin yellow. The pen in this image is a fully-working, limited edition replica of the original. Some people buy limited editions for investment purposes leaving them sealed in the original packaging never dipped in ink securely locked away in a safety deposit box.

I bought this pen some 15 years ago to write with. Recently my interest has transformed to vintage pens as opposed to modern ones.
Vintage pens whether WWII era Parkers, older Pelikans or other brands are readily available at reasonable prices, and can make excellent daily writers.
