Hello,

 

Does anyone recall the price of a bottle of Parker Penman when it was in production (before it got discontinued)?

 

Best regards.

The Penman inks were my favorites. I remember buying them at $4.00 a bottle.

 

(I wish I had bought cases instead of bottles)

Hi,

 

Penman was AED18, while Quink was AED6.

 

The AED remains pegged to the USD at Dh 3.68 : $1.

 

Bye,

S1

 

__ Edit to add: Around the same time, P4BlBk was Dh 3:

Hello,

 

A parker quink goes for 10$, so if we go by the same ratio, a PP bottle should cost about 30$ this days, I got mines for less than that (about 23$ each), so I will assume I am getting them at a discounted price, better hurry and get few more.

 

Best regards.

Hello,

 

I get them here in Iraq, and yes I am getting it for about 23$ USD a bottle.

Hello,

 

Yes it's expensive, and not guaranteed, we don't have reliable postage companies here.

 

Best regards.

      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
