Parker Duofold

It was made of a showy bright red hard rubber and expensively priced at $7.00, equivalent to $120 in 2023.

While the Junior and Special could also be fitted with Parker’s Washer Clip, the Lady Duofold was available with a Chatelaine, or Ring Top for hanging around one's neck.

The Ring Top would also appear on Parker's Vest Pocket models, for being attached to a watch fob.

In 1930 the Duofold line was streamlined with tapered ends replacing the familiar “flat-top” style.

Duofolds remained popular in Europe, being produced well into the 1960s in varying sizes and shades, and were revived in the 1980s as Parker's flagship offering once more.
