Hello From Jakarta, Indonesia

Recommended Posts

Hello from Jakarta, my name is Jeremy. I just started using fountain pen for about a month. My first FP was pilot metropolitan, now I started to collect more FPs. I bought this Parker yesterday at a vintage bazaar in Jakarta, and I don't know what type of Parker it is

Can anybody tell me about it? and also what's the function of the thing that came with it?

I also bought an Ero pen made in Germany

Looks like a Parker 45 but I don't know what the object is that came with it.

Thanks for the welcomes

 

VirtuThe3rd, I'm sure I will enjoy it here :)

PAKMAN, thanks for your answer. I really like the way it looks, and I also got it very cheap :D

FPs are expensive here, so I'm starting to collect vintage or secondhand FPs that still work.

My only FPs that I bought in new condition are pilot metropolitan and jinhao 250

I used to write with ballpoints, because I live in the generation that never use FPs before.

 

Nice to have a good discussion with you all

Regards,

Welcome !

 

The Parker 45 is my favorite fountain pen. It is easily maintained. I think the odd item might be a letter opener. Does the curved blade have a sharp edge ?

I'm not sure if it is a letter opener. It has a curved needle. Maybe it's for cleaning purpose

      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
