Lot Description

Rossi/Parker 1990s "Golden Snake" LE 18K Fountain Pen #1/10

In the early 1990s, noted custom pen designer Paul Rossi created this greatly detailed, "snake" designed pen for the Menash Signature Pen stores. These were 70 pens in sterling silver with only ten of the heavy 18K gold pens, with this pen being #1. Using a basic c/c fill Parker Centennial Duofold body of beautiful green crushed ice acrylic, Rossi encircled the entire cap and barrel with a pair of intricately detailed heavy, high relief, solid 18K yellow gold reptiles with Ruby cabochon eyes. The lower cap band, of this basically "prototype" pen, is inscribed "P 18K R" and "1/10." It has been fitted with an 18K Parker "Arrow" two-tone, medium nib, and comes with an additional complete nib section with a Parker arrow, 18K fine nib! It is offered mint in a deluxe Parker grey shade casing with Parker papers.
