    Description

    Hello Parker Pen Collectors,
    Today I have for auction a very nice piece of Parker Pen Ephemera - it an address book from 1998.  The front cover has a baseball theme, but the inside has random pictures of vintage Parker Pen advertisements.  Although not many people use paper address books anymore, this is a nice piece of Parker Pen history.  We don't get to see all the different vintage advertisements from companies anymore, with all of their colors and fun, this is a nice way to see how this great pen company advertised over 100 years ago.  I would say there is a picture every 3 or 4 pages.
    This book is pretty much brand new.  Obviously, no writing in it and the binding is still super tight.  I know in the pictures it looks like the front cover is all scratched up (white marks), but those are just reflections.  If you look closely in the glare of the front and back cover, you can see small scratches, but they are still glossy and green like the whole front cover....they are not scratches to the point where the green ink has been removed....I would say this is just typical shelf wear....could have even come like this from the factory.  The book really is in great condition.
    The nice thing with this book as I have the original outer white box also.
    I don't know the history of the book, if they were for employees only or maybe good customers got them with a purchase or something, but there is no price tag on the book or the box, so I don't think they were ever for sale.
    Sorry for the sub par pictures, photography is not my forte.  But I am 99.99% will be very happy with this purchase.
    I almost always ship my items the next day after you buy them (check out my feedback), but unfortunately, the mail can be slow right now and I cannot help this.  You will get tracking so you will see when I drop it off at the post office and will be follow it through its journey to your hands.
    Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, let me know.
