Q: The Rubber On Parker Sonnet Brown Rubber Lacquer?


Vintervilan

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys!

 

First of all, let me introduce myself.

 

My name is Leif and I'm a 30 year old guy from Sweden. My interest in fountain pens is really new. In fact, I've only ever owned one pen, a parker IM, which I lost a couple of weeks ago. Which leads me to this thread. I recently bought a blank book that I intend to fill with wisdom (oh well, my thoughts atleast) for my daughter to read if I should ever pass away too soon, or when she's old enough to enjoy it.

So, since I lost my Parker IM, I'm in dire need of a new pen, and I really like the looks on the Sonnet Brown Rubber Lacquer Gold. But here's my question. The rubber in this pen, how would it survive old age and normal wear and tear? I really want a pen that will last me a lifetime.

 

 

 

Best regards,

 

 

Leif

 

 

ps. And I'm sorry for any grammatical errors or misuse of words. English is not my native language :) ds.

      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
