Parker 75 Sterling Ciselé Writing Instrument Sets

This is a high-end collection featuring two sets of Parker 75 writing instruments, iconic for their 'Ciselé' grid pattern. The set on the left consists of a rollerball pen and a mechanical pencil, while the set on the right features a fountain pen and a mechanical pencil. The fountain pen is equipped with a 14k or 18k gold nib, a hallmark of the 75 series. Each piece is constructed from solid .925 sterling silver with a deep-etched crosshatch grid filled with black lacquer. The appointments—including the signature Parker arrow clips, cap bands, and tassies—are finished in high-polish gold plate. The fountain pen shows a black resin grip section with a gold-plated trim ring. The items appear to be in excellent, near-mint condition with no visible dings, heavy tarnish, or brassing on the gold trim. One pencil still retains its original red 'Parker' wax seal tag, suggesting these may be New Old Stock (NOS). Originally introduced in the mid-1960s to commemorate Parker's 75th anniversary, this specific 'flat-top' style and the presentation cases suggest a production era between the late 1960s and the 1980s. The precision of the engraving and the weight of the sterling silver indicate superior mid-century craftsmanship.
