My Parker Collection (Thus Far)

[TeaHive]

I'm sure it will expand in time. I do love my Vacumatics, and plan to get more in the future. As for what I have now, some are Frankenpens or missing a part here and there, a couple have modified nibs. But I love 'em all.

 

 

Left to right:

 

Lady Duofold Ringtop with firm fine nib.

Moderne, Canadian with wet noodle stub nib.

Streamlined Junior Duofold in Moderne Green, replacement Weidlich semi-flex EF nib. "MS" vertical inscription.

Streamlined Ringtop Duofold in Jade, wet fine nib. "Muriel E. Reihmer" inscription.

Parkette with replacement steel Pilot EF nib.

Deluxe Challenger in Red and Black, flexible fine nib.

Black Challenger with replacement fine Vacumatic nib and Striped Duofold blind cap.

Vacumatic Debutante Golden Pearl with lockdown filler, two-tone medium-fine semi-flex nib. Missing blind cap jewel and tassie.

51 Vacumatic pencil with a Green Pearl Vacumatic replacement barrel (was originally a Dove Grey 51, but it had terrible cracking).

Vacumatic Grey Pearl pencil.

Vacumatic Major Azure Pearl with xxf semi-flex nib.

Striped Duofold Vacumatic in Green/Brown, Chevron nib modified into a buttery stub.

Striped "Man" Duofold Button-filler pen and pencil set. Pen has a replacement Challenger nib in fine, the pencil is missing a clip and has a broken jewel.

51 Vacumatic T7 in Dove Grey, two-tone clutch ring, xf nib.

51 Vacumatic Demi in Dove Grey, wet fine nib, "Buzzy Tom" inscription, replacement hood in Cocoa.

51 Aerometric in Navy Grey, fine replacement steel nib. Replacement Hero 616 cap.

51 Aerometric Demi in Navy Grey, fine replacement steel nib. Replacement Hero 616 "Small" cap.

51 Aerometric Demi in Forest Green, fine replacement steel nib. Replacement Hero 616 "Small" cap.

51 Aerometric with Ariel Kullock Olive Green Lucite barrel and hood, medium wet nib.

51 Vacumatic Ariel Kullock Demonstrator, fine replacement steel nib. Replacement Hero 616 cap. (A true Frankenpen if ever there was one. I can't even really consider it a Parker, lol.)

Rialto Matte Green, custom 1.1mm italic regrind.

Vector Jade, custom fine cursive italic.

Frontier Matte Black, fine nib.

 

 

Whew..! I like to tell myself that I'll give all my 51 Frankenpens actual Parker nibs and caps someday. I imagine it'll take a loooong time. And I have a Junior Duofold RHR pencil on the way. @_@ It's almost too much Parker to handle.

Nice start on the Parkers, as they only can multiply given the chance.

 

I will try not to hunt for pens south of the border [ WI ] I will leave IL for you.

There is plenty of Parkers here in SE WI [ Rock & Walworth Co. ] still to be

had. I could post a photo spread of some of my Parker hoarding but I will not.

 

Enjoy your pens.

Yes, the "frankenpens" are not true Parkers, but some of them write soooooooo

nicely ! Still, we should give them away . . . . . , but not just yet.

(I think it's called "love". )

Here's where I go to daydream.

Borders mean nothing when one is master of the eBay "sumgai" deal. Haha! I'm giving it a rest for now, saving up for a custom pen or two. But there's always room for a Parker on my desk.

 

Thanks! I enjoy them very much, and hope to help them live another 50-60 years in good care!

Oooo! The entire lineup! I think I'm going to have to sit here and drool a bit myself.

 

As for the Frankenpens.. well, they might get completed, they might not. But I like them so well, I don't mind either way. Must be love after all!

Nice cross section of Parkers!

 

Who did the Rialto regrind? Sounds intriguing.

Thanks! I grind my own nibs. The Rialto was my first nib grind, actually--I dropped the pen and part of the tipping broke off, so it was my crash-course in italics.

The only time I look on ebay is for something I am looking for. The next time I hit a great live auction for Parkers in Janesville WI. I'll show you sumgai and it is always pot luck.

 

Like I said nice start on the parker collection.
