Hi Everyone,

Just received these yesterday, so thought I would post a picture of them. Out of all the 75's I have, I did not have a Presidential 75 set. These are 14K gold and well not extremly rare, it is hard to find a NOS set, unused and uninked. The FP's can be found, but the BP's are extremly hard to find. I know one collector that had been looking for one for 9 years before he found one unused.

Enjoy, Parkercrazy

Nice catch!

How many Parker 75s do you own now? Or do you keep accurate count?

And which ones don't you own, if any, and are you still hunting for them?

Cheers
Bill

Hi Bill,

As you know, I have sold many of the duplicates I had and still have around 200+ 75's. I still will buy a 75 if it is unusual or rare. In the future I will be looking for the French 18 K models, but they do not come up for sale very often and the price can often be sticker shock for me.

Take Care, Francis

That's OK - Francis, I expect that the lovely Presidential set would have been sticker shock (read sticker coma) for me.....

There are quite a number of quite nice 75s that finish up under $100 on Ebay......

I almost get physically sick when I look at your pics. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Talk about green with envy !!

Well Francis you are my idle.200+ Parker 75s thats amazing.
I LOVE

this presidential set but to be honest I have many Parker 75 pens to buy before I will worry about buying an amazing set like that.

I have another Parker 75 waiting for me in the mail and I plan to buy another one hopfuly in few days so you could say I am working hard on buying these beauties.
I dont know why but I think Parker 75 ROCK !!!

Francis--

Is this the same set that changed hands at the LA show? I got to see that one--photos can't really convey how nice these solid gold sets are!

I also saw a Presidential 61 set there--I wanted that even more!

Great find! Dan

Hi Dan,

This set did change hands at the LA show, but a couple of years back, so I'm thinking there may have been another set this year.

Take Care, Francis
