Parker Ultra Giant

[PenMeIn]

Hi, I have a Parker Ultra Giant pen and am trying to get more info on it. I have found very little about it on the internet. It is a huge black pen, 9 inches long and has a small red pen inside. From what I have seen so far on one site it is very rare and not many examples exist. If you can help I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Tim

Yeah?

Please supply a little more info on where this was sourced, because if you have the intact one with the original cap , it has been sought after for years.

I suggest you contact Lynn Sorgatz for info on this.

PM me your details and I'll get you his or arrange fro him to contact you.

It came from an estate and it is complete. It has the cap and on the other end has a cap that screws off and I noticed a red dot. I turned it upside down and this tiny red pen came out. It is complete also. The big pen is marked GEO. PARKER LUCKY CURVE and has patent dates on it. The cap is faded some but there are no cracks or damage. Info is scarce on this pen. I knew it was unusual and it took a whole day of research just to find out what it was. I need info about a number on the cap.

Thanks

Tim

Somehow I do think that this topic is going to become quite busy in the next day or so ;-)

How did you figure it to be the Ultra Giant?

No number on the blind cap?

I'll be watching this space when i get back from my meeting (:

Someone suggested that I put it on ebay. Is that a good idea? Should I put a reserve? What should the reserve be? Any estimates on what it will bring? Thanks to everyone for your help.

I think that is the only thing it can be. Did Parker make any other 9 inch pens with a small pen inside besides the Ultra Giant? It looks just like the only picture of the ultra giant I could find online.

Thanks

The Ultra Giant is the only pen Parker made with a small red pen inside. Can you take some photos and post them? It would be much easier to help you on this.

 

Relative to selling, this would be very desirable. Ebay is a good option, but there are several advanced collectors that would be interested in a direct sale. Send me a private message via this website and I can help you connect up.

Gosh, it would be really cool if we could see a picture or two of your great new pen.

 

I note that you have only joined us a few hours ago so a hearty FPN welcome to you.

 

Have you been collecting pens long?

[PenMeIn]

By the "original cap" do you mean the cap that covers the nib? or the screw on cap at the other end that holds the small pen? Someone said there may be a number on the cap. Which cap?

Thanks

I am a collector but not a pen collector. I am trying to learn how to put the photo on.

Thanks

The other pen in the pic is 6 inches long and is a Parker Black Giant. I'm not sure how these pics will turn out. The lighting is bad. If I put it up on ebay the pics will be much better.

Thanks
