PEN RESURRECTION SUNDAY: Episode #4 - 1931 Parker Duofold Junior
Channel: Inkquiring Minds
Date: 02/10/2022

Welcome to PEN RESURRECTION SUNDAY Episode #4! Today's vintage resurrection is a 1931 Parker Duofold Junior. I show how I restored the pen from an old, crusty, non-working pen to a polished working beauty. I also talk about the parts and features of the pen, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample.
