What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[lisadan]

My faithful old Parker 25 and my relatively new Blue Laque Sonnet

[irrigger]

Parker 51 Aero with medium nib and a Parker Duofold Sr in RHR with factory stub

[doggonecarl]

Switching things up today with non-fountain type pens: Jotter ballpoint and Jotter rollerball, both Flighters.

[Scribero ergo sum]

IM rb in matte black with ST, purchased at a Walmart cuz the pen was there, so what better way to encourage the store to carry such nice things than to buy one. (Three, actually.)

 

And, recently acquired Frontier fp clear demonstrator that is quite deeply enjoyed. Presently has small, simple sepia cartridges in right now, but I'll take a brief stab at making it an eyedropper for a while, too.

Nice pen holder.

 

I've inked up my newly acquired Parker Classic, Flighter model, with Quink Blue. I like how it feels in the hand. Small, slender, yet substancial heft.

Hi, my name is Miles and I feel the need to share my confession ...

I have just used a ball pen...

 

Worse then that I have just used a cheap disposable ball pen.

 

I don't know how it happened ... I had just stripped my trusty old Parker 45 TX down and dropped all the pieces into a bowl of warm water to clean it all out when the phone rang with a client wanting to book my services. I had to write some details down and I grabbed the first pen that I saw ... which was ... (hangs head in shame) ... yes ... a cheap disposable ball pen. I shall surely have to atone for my sins now and buy a new vintage Parker pen to add to the collection to take away the shame that my actions have brought upon me and my office.

 

So ... I hope that no-one here will judge me too harshly for my actions ... and I humbly beg your forgiveness for my actions.

 

Thank you ...

I keep an emergency ball pen on hand that I can live with using, an early model (1946?) Sheaffer Stratowriter in polished brass.

My first Parker 45 made in England. It came with a loooong cartridge instead of a converter. Does anyone know where I can get a converter to fit this pen? Many thanks!

As always, the Black Parker Sonnet with fine nib.

[Captivelight]

Rob, any of the modern Parker converters will fit you 45 and are readily available on eBay, Amazon etc

Yep. I've recently bought two new current-model Parker conveyers for 1970's Parker 45s.

Many thanks Captivelight and moylek!
