Every Parker Duofokl is convertible—a combination pooket and desk Pon both, at no extra charge. Choose Parker Duofold and you virtually got two pens for the price of one.
Yet you havo only one to fill. And you hare your socus-, tomed point wherever you are.
When you're on the go, it wears its trim, streamlined cap, with Parker's patented clip that holds the Pan low and unexposed in your pocket.
On your desk, it reeta in Parker's ball and sockat base. And with this comes the tapered end for the pen. included free,
Attaching the taper converts the Duofold into a Desk Set Pen. Removing it realores the Pen to a pocket model. Changing back and forth doesn't take ten seconds. And taking your pen from your desk when you go insures your having it when you return.
Paying more won't get you a thing-but will deprive you of this double value. For only the Parker offers this. And this in a Pon that holds 17.4% more ink than average, sisa for size, and is Guaranteed for Lifet
