PBA is pleased to offer what is almost certainly the supreme existing example of the most famous and influential vintage fountain pen in the world, the legendary Parker No. 38 "Snake". Gold-filled overlay (possibly by George W. Heath) featuring two entwined snakes with cut green stone eyes, black hard rubber body, eyedropper filler. Barrel overlay imprinted: "PARKER FOUNTAIN PEN / PAT. 6-30-91. 1-30-05 / PATENT PENDING". No. 3 Lucky Curve keyhole-vent nib with Lucky Curve feed, wonderfully flexible. In the original red leather-over-wood box, lined with purple velvet and silk, imprinted "The Parker 'Lucky Curve' Fountain Pen / Janesville, Wis., U.S.A." Includes the original eyedropper. An incredible discovery with superb provenance, this pen comes from the collection of a former Parker employee. A superior example is unlikely ever to be found. Near mint condition, no wear to scales, cartouche not personalized, black hard rubber rich and glossy with no oxidization, faintest possible cap marks to section, all four green stone eyes present. An immaculate pen. -Lambrou, Andreas. Fountain Pens of the World . [Epping: 2005], pp. 58-59.
