Rossi/Parker 1990s Duofold Parker with Rossi "Mermaid" Fountain Pen and a Parker 1994 "Sonnet 'Athenes'" Laque Fountain Pen
Here offered, is a small group of highest quality, custom crafted, fountain pens, by the now quite famous Paul Rossi! These pens represent unique design and perfection, not found in most of the current examples of pens with semi-precious and precious metal overlay and inlay ornamentation. Wm. Weakley of Power Pens was quick to recognize the exceptional Rossi talent, and his appreciation of this talent led him to acquire several Unique, Artist Proof, and #1 Pens, during the budding, 1990s years of Rossi's creativity. The bulk of these pens found their way into Dr. Nash's collection, and are among the Rossi pens we offer. An early tribute to Rossi's work was an article in Pen World, by Kathleen Kelly, "Artistry", and pictures of several of our pens. A copy of this enlightening article will accompany each pen.
The first pen featured is a 1990s Rossi/Parker pen with a mermaid sterling silver clip. With the Duofold "flat top," the three cap bands of the 1930s Parker, and the barrel and cap in a more modern "marbled burgundy" acrylic. Void of any markings, it is fitted with a Parker "Arrow" two-tone 18k nib. In special edition presentation box.
The second pen featured is a 1994 Parker "Sonnet 'Athenes.'" Production of this pen was very short lived. This beautifully designed, c/c fill, "Athenes'" Sonnet, from the introduction era of the Sonnet has a 23k gold plated barrel and cap with black lacquer filled grooves alternating lengthwise, with an elongated gold Parker Arrow clip, creating a very striking effect. It is fitted with a broad 18k Parker two-tone gold /rhodium "F" nib. The broad cap band on this pen bears this factory addition to the Parker-France AOO" = "Senator." It is mint in a Parker Sonnet box.Condition requests can be obtained via email (brad@cowans.com) or by telephone (513-871-1670 Ext. 217).
