What Parkers Are You Working With Today?

Recommended Posts

In 1994 my parents gave me a Parker Sonnet Sterling Silver Fougere - its the pen I've had the longest. I damage it's nib may 6-8 years ago and it had sat there unused. I had another Sonnet (black with steel trim) which had the same nib which I hadn't used for 3-4 years. Tonight I decided to see if I could remove the nibs from each and switch them over. The good news is the switch worked and my Fougere is inked with MB Lavender ink.

 

The nib is a medium, quite wet and writes like a charm.

 

My only problem is I'm used to using 146 sized MBs so the pen feels small in my hand. Nonetheless I will enjoy writing with it.

8 Plum

 

10 Cedar

 

11 Flighter

 

And the Black English Aero at the top with the converging line rolled silver cap.

Hi !

 

An old Parker Duofold Senior, green marble. It is inked with Blue/black Parker Quink.

The other pen is a Parker 180, Flighter. It squirts Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue.

 

As October comes to an end, I will clean them, and put them away. The next two pens

in the rotation will come out for November. Neither is a Parker.

We recently had a large order for the gorgeous Parker Sonnet Stainless Steel Roller Ball. I had not had much to do with these particular pens but after dealing with them for a while I'm a big fan. They have a nice weight and write beautifully.

I would like to be working with my 1942 stripy Duofold, but I have to review a new Parker pen, so I have put all else aside for the next 2 weeks while I work with it and start writing the review.

Parker 51 flighter set. This set just finished its rotation. It was inked with Iroshizuku Yama-Guri ink and they loved each other. I loved them both as well.

Now in rotation is a Parker 51 set in forest green with a dual tone cap. Inked with the new Diamine Meadow ink. I really like this ink color. It goes very well with this medium nib.

A navy blue Parker 51, M nib, inked with Diamine Kensington Blue. This pen write smooth as silk! Pretty good for a 60 year old fountain pen.

There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man

that he does not know until he takes up his pen to write.

Parker 51 Signet, fine point Nib Pelikan 4001 Violet Ink.

This is off topic but Mr. Pen Man I was thinking of buying a bottle of pelikan 4001 violet but I was afraid of feathering. I will be using it on the cheap paper I use for school and a moleskine, so in your personal experience what would you recommend.

This one came in a couple days ago. It's one of the two Brit Burgundys from the UK I'm waiting on. It's a little more red than it shows in this outdoor (cloudy) today Droid pic. It looks like it has a UK Fine which would make it about a U.S. M- which should be about perfect for me. I even picked up my official KD135 section pliers yesterday from NAPA so I guess this will be my first full 51 disassemble. I already fixed a little bend in the clip and cleaned the outside up a bit.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
