It is a catalog of 47 numbered sheets plus covers printed in two colors by The Gazzete Press, which in those years occupied the first floor of the Gazzete Building where the Parker factory was located. The existence in this catalog of Parker button fillers, introduced in the summer of 1913, and considering that it does not include Bakelite’s fountain pens, launched on the market in late 1913, allows us to state that it is a 1913 catalog.
This Booklet is our representative and bears our personal message to you regarding the excellent constructive features and designs of the Parker Lucky Curve Fountain Pen, the most reliable, convenient, cleanest and smoothest writing pen in the world. They who wish to conserve their energies and get the most sunshine out of this brief life are quick to take advantage of every means to make work less arduous. Modern intelligence is relegating the cheap and inferior leaky fountain pen and the foul corroding steel pen and its sloppy ink bottle to the quill feather past. The Lucky Curve, the Anti-Break Cap and Spearhead Ink Controller mean perfection in operation and makes the Parker Pen what it is—a pen of honor guaranteed by its maker.
The Parker Lucky Curve is the only invention that has ever been contrived and patented that really stops leaking and smearing your fingers. The Spear Ink Controller is a little device to prevent ink from feeding too fast or dropping off the pen point should more ink be forced out of the reservoir by accident or otherwise.
The tapering inner cap fits perfectly and forms an ink: tight compartment for the gold pen. No valves or other complicated mechanism to get out of order. The Parker Lucky Curve Jack Knife Pen with safety cap is the only fountain pen designed that can be carried with absolute safety in any pocket or in any position, and it will not leak. The Parker. Jack Knife Pen has two caps, the regular or outer cap which screws.
Jack Knife "Turban" inner cap that fit snug to shoulder section when the pen was inserted, so that ink didn't leak.
New Parker level lock disappearing clip, «The Clip That Disappears», there is nothing like it in the entire world. It is an entirely new departure in fountain pen clips. Instead of being riveted or clasping on the outside of the end making this end of the fountain look like an eye-sore, it is built on entirely different and distinctive lines- Like a good little servant, it is in evidence only when wanted. When not wanted it disappears to the level of the cap. The clip is visible above the surface of the cap only when the pen is ready to go into the pocket.
The Parker Anti-Break cap is so designed that the strain can never come at the edge which is naturally the weakest part of the rubber. It is just another feature which shows how scientifically constructed the Parker Pen really is.
The New Parker Self Filler Nothing like it in the Whole World. «Press the Button and it Fills Itself”. There is and has been an unmistakable demand for a satisfactory Self Filling Fountain Pen. For several years we have manufactured a self-filling pen which had a very large sale. This old style pen contained many of the objectionable features which are found in practically every self-filling pen made up to date, that is it had the humps and bumps on the outside of the barrel for the purpose of operating the self-filling device. The new Parker Self Filler is different -it has all the appearances of the regular style pen- all the humps and bumps have been omitted there is nothing to mar its beauty or weakest the strength of the holder.
