Parker Duofold Junior Herringbone (UK) c. 1941-1944
One of the most stunning pens I’ve owned came from winning an eBay auction titled simply “Green Parker Pen.” The fuzzy photo only hinted at the vivid green-and-black herringbone celluloid of the cap and barrel.

Pens in this celluloid are uncommon, if not rare; I have seen only a few other examples, including a handful of full-size Senior Special Duofolds. I was very happy to have these diminutive pens for the prices I paid.
