I have been collecting vintage pens since 1988, I must say that the early days of collecting has been a tough ones as there are not many information available. Most of the time, we will have to rely on word of mouth in order to gain information. One of the pen that was mentioned but never get to see is the so called "pregnant Parker". This is one of the legendary Parker Pen introduced in 1909 with the number 47.
Look at the barrel, and you can understand why. This Parker pen is also known as #47 with a body of mother of pearl and abalone, in a curved finish that created a bulge on the pen body, held down by two ornamented gold bands. The cap had an 18k gold overlay in a floral design with a name plate for engraving. It cost $10 at that time. This is the most beautiful pen from Parker!
After 23 years of searching and hunting, I have finally found one from the USA. Cheers!
