The Parker Televisor

Another Canadian Parker, a Televisor. A button filler fountain pen in striated green pattern and has a medium semi-flex stub 14k gold nib made in Canada. 

This was the first Parker model solely made in Canada, a very attractive mid-priced button filler model that was introduced in 1935. 

Made around 1935, I think, this is the MK I version, thought to have been named so because of the visible ink window in the barrel and the growing popularity of the new invention called the television! This being a button filler, I don't understand the need for the ink window, and was probably in the design because of the fad in those times.

The pen has three cap bands and rounded black ends. The Televisor MKI sports the ball ended clip, imprinted with "Parker" inside a raised, elongated diamond shape.
