Parker introduced the Moderne, one of their so-called Thrift Pens during the great depression of the early 1930's. The Moderne was an entry level pen developed to try and compete with all the other major manufacturers desperately looking to maintain their pre-depression sales. To a degree this worked, the Moderne was a good looking pen and sales were steady if not spectacular. This and other models in the Parker portfolio helped them survive the crisis and gave them much needed breathing space to finance the development of the Vacumatic which was destined to become a legend.
