Parker Lucky Curve Red Mottled #18 Eyedropper – Wet Noodle
Here is superb Parker Lucky Curve Red Mottled #18 Eyedropper. The red mottled hard rubber still has fantastic color and even retains most of its original shine. The original imprints are a little faded but still readable. Someone had put a cheap accommodation clip on the cap that resulted in some light scratching on it. And there are some teeth marks on the section. Otherwise, it is in beautiful shape. The 14kt. Parker Lucky Curve nib is a real beauty. It writes as a wet, soft, and smooth F (0.4mm) that flexes with ease to BBB. It’s not quite a paintbrush noodle, but it takes little pressure to achieve great flex range. The flow is wet and keeps up well. The nib is also quite responsive. Overall a stunning early Parker eyedropper.
