I actually like the lines of a Trojan. I see them as having stand-alone eye-appeal in the Parker line, with their Spartan-ascetic departure from 19th Century Victorian design, which by 1912 was an honest reflection of the times and consistent with what one could expect would be a Parker interpretation of affordability, simplicity and spare elegance.
All that, and after having been driven by a pitiless industrial cost-savings motive. All of American manufacturing should be so lucky.
