This 1939 Parker Streamline Lady Duofold is a compact American fountain pen from the later years of Parker’s famous Duofold line.
The barrel is marked with Parker’s “9” and two-dot date code, dating production to the second quarter of 1939. At approximately 4½ inches capped, the Lady Duofold offers the classic Duofold design in a smaller, easy-to-carry format.
The pen retains its original three-piece hanging pressure bar and button-filling mechanism. During restoration, the original filling hardware was cleaned and serviced rather than replaced, and a new ink sac was installed. The pen was then reassembled and tested for proper filling and writing performance.
The restoration was intentionally conservative. The goal was to preserve the character of the original pen while returning it to dependable use rather than attempting to make an 87-year-old object appear new.
A particularly satisfying example of a simple Parker mechanism surviving nearly nine decades and going right back to work.
