Parker Duofold Senior Pen Pocket Clip

A little faded pocket clip from a orange Parker Duofold Senior fountain pen. Some gold plating has come off.
The engraved markings on the front top say, Pat. Sep 5-16.  Parker. Making a fountain pen in those days truly requires skills, craftmanship and engineering excellence. Parker must have been very proud to produce such a fine writing instrument which certainly make writing with a feather much easier. Perhaps the invention of the fountain pen spur the growth of greater literacy.

indicates that this clip has been gold filled which gives a thicker layer of gold
than gold plating.
