I was over at my parents this afternoon working on some things for them, and was surprised with a Parker 21 pen & pencil set. Unused and uninked. I had shown it to my dad on the bay and forgotten about it, but he didn't!
I had a grandmother who used to put little stickers on things identifying who gave it to her (?) And this like new boxed set had "from Bill Haulbrich, Christmas 1962" written on the inside of the bottom. So, dating it won't be much of an issue. There was a sticker with "Electro Polished" on the pen barrel that I had to remove as I plan on putting this one to use.
Now I await some ink, as my first fountain pen is still on cartridges.
EDIT: Here are a couple of pics. Taken on the fly, so excuse the 'point and shoot' look:
