Need Vintage Parker Sonnet Ballpoint Refills


SomethingWicked

Recommended Posts

I just purchased a vintage gold Parker Sonnet ballpoint. The ink needed to be replaced, but when I tried to match up available refills from local stores, I noticed that there is a slight difference in the actual ink capsule. (see photo) It's just enough of a difference to prevent my pen from using the newer refill.

 

Does anyone here know where I can find the original Parker refills? I even logged on to the French version of the Parker Pens website, but they seem to be selling these same, newer, refills.

 

The refill on the top came with the pen. The one below is new, and just slightly too long (in the ink capsule) to fit in my Sonnet.

I am not familiar with your Parker, mine are Jotters. I would look at the Space Pen refill as some versions are the Parker shape, top, etc and fit my Jotters. I'm even seeing inexpensive -"Bob's Dentist Office" pens use a Parker shape, top cartridge. They are all white cartridges.

 

--You also might want to re-post this in the Parker Pen forum for more viewing.

      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
