In 1921, the Parker Duofold is introduced. It becomes a resounding success, even used by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to write the Sherlock Holmes series. In just four years sales quadruple. At the close of WWII, Eisenhower’s Parker 51 signs the Armistice pact for the European Front while in the Pacific Theater, MacArthur’s 20-year old Duofold is used to sign the document officially ending the war.
In 1993, George Bush and Boris Yeltsin used personalized Parker Duofold World Memorial Rollerballs to sign the historic START II Treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons. That same year, at his inauguration, Bill Clinton is presented a Parker Duofold Marbled Green Rollerball to reflect his interest in environmental issues.
The storied Duofold is now offered in Lapis Blue with gold-plated trim. Light, comfortable, and ergonomic, you'll look great in this color! Limited two year guarantee.
