What Parker Are You Using This Day?

Ooo...a fellow green ink user :)

Definitely.

I'm also fond of PR Copper Burst and other mid to dark browns. For work purposes I need to use dark inks so they will photocopy/fax, so Watermans South Sea Blue pushes the limits... darn it.

I'm waiting for a late 30s B&W Televisor to arrive courtesy FPN Classifieds; haven't decided what to put in that as yet.

I filled my blue Parker 45 with Noodler's Ellis Island. I think this is the first time I used that pen. It would write a few words and quit. So I swapped the converter with the one in my black Parker 45. The blue Parker 45 is getting another flush bath and then I will take a look at its nib.

The just arrived 1937 Striated Grey standard size Televisor with transitional features from Mk1 to Mk2, and probably a replacement Newhaven 14k nib with good line variation; filled with Black Quink. Sheer delight to use.

My LE Ciselle 115 Anniversary Sonnet. I saw a colleague using the LE Rose Gold plated Cascade pattern LE today. Interestingly we both had the view it is a pity that Parker did not resurrect the "Blue Diamond" for this LE. anyway , I like my LE it is a good pen.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
