Ode To The Vintage Black Parker


Ricky2011

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

With everyone sharing their collections recently- with many different colours and ranges.

 

Just thought I'd share my pure black vintage collection. When parker did more than one variation in the model.

 

i.e Junior, Ladies and sub variations.

 

Hopefully many more will follow suit.

 

Kind regards

A nice theme collection.

A very nice collection. Black goes with anything.

I have only two: a 1946 Parker 51 that I inherited from my dad, and a 1992 LE duofold that was a gift from my mom. Both are black, but the 51 has a gold filled cap.

Baptiste knew how to make a short job long

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

Rick, wouldn't you show us your black Jotter collection? I gather you have a collection of those too.

Argentina-made 45.

Wow. Looks like a 61/65 clip on the pen.

 

Edited to add:

 

Rather, the whole pen looks like a 61 or a 65.

Then should consider adding the P25 in matte black... Those are fairly rare birds in good nick, my one is terribly chipped & polished. Nonetheless it's still in my desk drawer waiting for the next time I forget to bring a pen with me to work in the morning. Bought it new in 1980. The BP & Felt tip are long lost now, but not the FP.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

I have a few, mostly because it's what I found at the time I got them (not a big fan of black, either in ink OR pens, but when you start going vintage you take what you can get...).

1) Urban, M nib (because the boxed sets only ever seemed to come with black pens).

2) 45 GT Deluxe, 14K M nib (first semi-vintage pen and a sweet writer)

3) Parker 51 Vac, 14K F (?) nib (got this one with no other bidders on Ebay, because it had the cap for a 51 Special)

4) Parker 51 Aero, 14K EF nib (normally don't care for EFs, but I got this one a few years ago at the Ohio Pens Show from Pendleton Brown; might go to my husband but if he doesn't keep track of the cap -- the way he doesn't with BP caps -- I'll stage an intervention...)

5) Parker Vector (calligraphy set with 4 nib units)

6) Parker Vector stubbed B nib (I think it may have been a home-done stub grind by the seller; had to replace the collar and the barrel as well....)

7) Parker 61 14k(?) M(?) nib (my first 61, and I don't understand why people don't like capillary fillers and wanted to replace them)

      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
