This is a petition to Newell Rubbermaid/Sanford Ecriture/the Parker Pen Company to keep the Parker Archives in Newhaven, UK. We are worried that this unprecedented piece of corporate history would be in peril if moved around further. We would also like Newell Rubbermaid/Sanford Ecriture/the Parker Pen Company to investigate the possibility of opening a museum where selected pens and other products made by The Parker pen company would be on public display. Newhaven is traditional Parker soil and the residents in Newhaven would be able to add many memories, things and stories to such a museum. Please sign up for the above digital newsletter to support this cause. The names and this petition will be forwarded to Newell Rubbermaid/Sanford Ecriture/the Parker Pen Company later in 2010.http://parkercollector.com/newsletter/?p=subscribe

But if they *do* feel the need to part with such a fine collection of wonderful Parker pens... I would gladly sacrifice a spare bedroom or two to ensure the continued existance of such a priceless collection (I couldn't however promise that the Duofold Seniors in the collection would remain un-inked)

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
