Description :
Vintage Parker 180 Imperial Insignia Pen 14k Gold Electroplated Lined Pattern Set – Made in USA (1985) Beautiful, highly collectible vintage Parker 180 Imperial Insignia matching fountain pen and ballpoint set. Finished in a striking 14k gold electroplated lined pattern, this elegant set perfectly marries classic mid-century luxury with one of the most innovative engineering designs in fountain pen history. Complete with its original presentation box and factory-correct internal mechanisms, this set is a perfect addition for discerning collectors or daily vintage writers. Fountain Pen Features & Specifications • Model: Parker 180 Imperial Insignia • The Famous Dual-Sided "180" Nib: Features the iconic, ultra-slim flat triangular 14k gold nib designed to write seamlessly on both sides. Flipping the pen 180 degrees gives the writer two distinct line weights in one point (Extra Fine on one side / Medium on the reverse). • Design Engineering: Equipped with the factory-correct top stabilizer bar to support the flat gold blade and a clean, ribbed black grip section. • Filling Mechanism: Includes the original, authentic Parker Aerometric slim squeeze-converter attached and functional. Can also accept standard vintage Parker ink cartridges. Ballpoint Pen Features & Specifications • Model: Parker 180 Imperial Insignia Matching Ballpoint • Mechanism: Smooth, responsive cap-actuated design (press the entire upper cap to extend and retract the writing tip). • Refill Compatibility: Fits standard modern Parker-style G2 or gel refills seamlessly. Detailed Condition & Markings • Production Date & Origin: Both pen caps are clearly stamped "MADE IN U.S.A." alongside the classic Parker Halo logo and the "PA" date code, precisely dating this set to the first quarter of 1985 (January–March). • Cosmetic Condition: The gold finish retains a beautiful luster with the classic parallel line pattern deep and crisp. The ribbed black grip section on the fountain pen is structurally sound without cracks. Minimal micro-scratching or handling wear consistent with light storage/age. • Presentation Box: Includes the original vintage hardshell Parker gift case lined with rich red satin and an embossed white silk inner lid. The box hinges open smoothly and snap shut securely Count: 3 items
