Vintage Chinese Cloisonne Fountain Pen And Ballpoint Set - Like Parker Design
Item History & Price
I think of these as the "Rocket" pens because the clip on the ballpoint is shaped like a rocket.
Both are of high-quality cloisonné with no chips or damage. I suspect that they were not used.The fountain pen has not been inked - so definitely never used.
The ballpoint takes a standard Parker cartridge - so no problem getting refills.These older cloisonné ballpoints are cap-actuated and have a thin raised ring at the top of the cap, which makes them a bit uncomfortable to ...press the cap down against the spring action.So when I find one of these, which is not very often, I add an iolite gem cabochon to the top of the cap, making them more pleasant to use, and also look better.Iolite is called the "Viking stone" because, according to legend, the Norse navigators used them to detect the position of the sun on cloudy days.
The original box has some very faint marks on the fabric covering. No odor.
