Hi folks!

 

I am new to fountain pens and fine writing tools. I fell in love my simple Waterman Hemisphere' and I use my Waterman Expert Rollerball every day! I came into posession of a Parker Limited Edition Norman Rockwell pen and find that its too nice for me to use. I'm not really a collector so I'm looking to find out how to place it in a new home where it can really be appreciated. My gosh its gorgeous!

Hello and Welcome to FPN!! Glad to have you as a member!!

 

The Rockwell is a great pen and I love to write with mine! You should ink it up and give it a go! If you decide to sell it, you might try eBay or the classifieds here on FPN after you are a Gold member. Again Welcome to the forum!

Hi and welcome to FPN

 

Have a look around here on the forum.

We might inspire you to use the pen after all....

 

 

Enjoy

Welcome !

 

How did you come by the Parker ? Was it a gift ? Inheritance ? (Shoplift ?)

It is a "limited edition", so don't expect to replace it, should you change your mind, for anything near reasonable price.

If you would rather have the money, then sell itl. Expect about 50% of retail price.

 

Now, to the issue >>> WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU DON'T DESERVE IT ? Only a "collector" deserves a

beautiful pen ? Don't you believe it !

 

Enjoy your Waterman.

A Limted Edtion Parker!!! You could give it away to some very nice aggie, that is a member of the FPN!!! But of course you would have to adopt said nice aggie!!! JUST KIDDY, OF COURSE!

 

Ink that precious FP up & give it a test " write " . You probably will change your mind.

 

Welcome to the Fourm of FP.

PS: I agree about enjoying those Watermans.

Hello and welcome. I'm glad you joined us. Please make yourself right at home and don't hesitate to share your questions and opinions. I hope you enjoy your time with us.

 

I strongly encourage you to ink that Parker and give it a real work-out. I think you'll find you enjoy it. As to being worthy, you are as worthy as anyone else.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
