 cheap
school pen made by Parker but not sold under the Parker brand name. Similar
to the earlier Parkettes and Challengers of
the 1930's. Since it's a
lever filler it's possible that Parker decided not to be tied to a pen
that was not an aerometric filler, a filling system that was much advertised
during this period. The gold fill was very thin and the underlaying brass
is usually what remains. It has a standard nib and a tapered clip
with the imprint "Writefine". Much like the Parker
VS of the
same period. Parker didn't produce any lever fillers until 1952,
with the re-introduction of the (new) Parkette.
Neither the Writefine, nor the Parkette survived for more than a year
or so. |
