No. 47 Lucky Curve eyedropper-filler fountain pen, mother-of-pearl panels, highly-repoussé floral-pattered gold-filled cap and barrel bands, black hard rubber endpiece and section. 129mm. No. 2 Lucky Curve circle-vent nib, slight flex. Excellent condition; the gold is bright and unblemished with lightest rubs to captop, the cartouche is free of engravings, the imprint is crisp, the black hard rubber section is black and glossy with some scuffs from the cap, the hard rubber endpiece is very lightly faded, and the mother-of-pearl panels are flawless. The pen is in original unrestored condition. It comes with its original brown leather-over-wood box, lined in green velvet and silk, printed "The Parker 'Lucky Curve' Fountain Pen / Janesville, Wis, U.S.A." (box hinge is weak). The "Pregnant Parker" earned its nickname due to the graceful curvature of its barrel. Its aesthetic virtues have led many enthusiasts to deem it the most beautiful pen ever made. -Lambrou, Andreas. Fountain Pens of the World. [Los Angeles: 2005], pp. 62-63. -Fischler, George & Stuart Schneider. Fountain Pens and Pencils: The Golden Age of Writing Instruments. [Westchester: 1990], p. 101.
