2013 Update To My Parker 75 Website Reference Section


LTW

Recommended Posts

Happy New Year FP fans!

 

Last night I published the 2013 update to the reference section of my Parker 75 website.

 

Things were quiet in the Parker 75 world until the Columbus Pen Show which revealed that there is still lots of Parker 75 information out there. This update shows a fraction of what I found which includes lots prototypes:

 

- Aluminum 75 FPs with satin smooth finish and grid pattern

- FP in vermeil with red grid lines

- FP in sterling silver with white grid lines

- Metal threaded FP sections in different colors

 

There is much more so come visit if you have any interest in the Parker 75s and its family.

 

Regards,

That site reminded me again about my 75...which is in rotation now. I bought it @ 1971 and am glad to know what I paid for them, the pen and bp/mp. The bp/mp...had a mp filler was five dollars cheaper than I remembered. I'd remembered 18-20 not 15. The pen was $25 not the 22 I remembered.

Come out the same. $40 real silver dollars...big time in the day of $1-1.25 minimum wage and in the AF I was making less.

I had gone into the BX to buy a then very expensive $8-10 mat black & gold thin Cross ball point...the status BP of the day. I wandered over to the black and gold snorkel I'd promised my self I'd buy once I got grown up...and got mugged by the P-75 brothers.

 

Took me till 65 to get that Snorkel, a burgundy Australian with a 'flexi'/maxi-semi-flex BB nib.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

 

 

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

I just want to give a shout-out to Lih-Tah. His site is a great info source, and if you ever need P75 parts, he is the person to contact. A true gentleman.

Wonderful site! The newest discoveries of 75's prototype in color is so thrilling.

 

Thank you for sharing!

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

      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
