The Parker Lady Duofold was introduced in 1921 as a smaller 'ring top' version of the Senior and Junior pens.  Originally made in hard rubber, by 1926 the whole Duofold range had moved to a new plastic material which parker named 'Permanite.  The triple cap ring was added in 1928 and by 1929 the design was changed form a 'flat top, this pen, to a more streamlined shape. 

The pen was made in Toronto, Canada, at the time the majority of Canadian made Parkers were produced for export to the U.K.  The nib is stamped 'Canada' and the barrel imprint also states that the pen was made in Toronto.

The pen has been fully restored and is in excellent working condition.  It has a first class surface and very clear barrel imprint. By the mid twenties the nibs were not imprinted 'lucky curve' but the banner appeared on the barrel imprint and the 'spear' feed was retained.  

The original 14 Ct. Gold nib produces a medium line with enough flex to add  character to the writing.  The Lady is a small pen but, with the cap posted for use, it is a respectable 14.5 cm. in length and is very comfortable in the hand.

The 'flat top' Duofolds are high quality pens that set the standard for pen production on a global scale, at approaching a hundred years old this is a highly collectable pen.
