I have an idea what a few of these are, but need some more help on what models they are and ball park market value.
I think this is a Lucky Curve

Edited as you changed photos. Duofolds are more commonly sold than Eversharp pens. You might find some pen dealers with old Duofolds for sale. Ebay is always a source for prices - search the completed auction listings.

Yes, I got my pictures to work. I found one pen from one of those links, so I deleted it. But on the yellow and orange pens, I think it comes down to, are they a senior or junior pen? The copper colored one at the top, I got nothing.

I thought most Duofold pens had letters stamped in them.

Just from the proportions, I would guess those are juniors, so assuming great condition and restored, maybe $300 for the mandarin yellow and $200 for the red. If they are unrestored "as found" of course, a lot less. I've been kind of out of the market for a while, so those numbers are from memory....

The top one could be anything, would need closer photos and a shot of the nib to know more.

A good place to start is www.fountainpennetwork.com . It is a very good fountain pen focused forum.

Not an expert, but a Collector of vintage fountain pens.

The Duofolds are collectible, but like so many things, size and condition make all the difference in the world.

If a Senior Mandarin, it is more desirable than the Reds.

While not super active in the hobby at the moment, the value of these pens peaked several years ago, IMO.

I cannot identify the top pen, w/o closer pics.

Is the main difference between a Sr and Jr, the size of a Sr is about 5 1/4 to 5 1/2? (just learning this today)

Yes, the Senior is approx. 5.5", when capped.

The Duofold is a great pen and the line was re-introduced again in the late 80's. I collect the more modern Duofolds.

BigJoe- since you have joined the Fountain Pen Network, you should go on to the sub-forum they have that is specific to the Parker brand, and post your pictures there. I bet folks will chime in with info. Also, what is your username there? I am "Wolverine1" there.
