Fountain Pen In Picture.

Anyone care to guess?

This came up last year,

I think that the conclusion was that the pen was a Duofold.

[Charles Rice]

Yes, I think it's the British monarch. Not sure of her name.

[pajaro]

You are kidding?

[PAKMAN]

I think I'd go with Duofold myself.

[Charles Rice]

OK, I'm pretty sure that she is British. Prime Minister?

[ParkerDuofold]

Hi PR, et al,

 

I would say Duofold myself... and not just because it appeals to my vanity.

 

It's a fairly small image on a smartphone, but it puts me in mind of the first generation re-release... late '80s/early '90s era full-size model.

 

Be well, all.

Not Primer Minister Because the Lady in the photo looks happy..

I wonder if she is a member of the FPN. She looks like she could afford some nice pens

Note that whom ever she is, she's hiding her right hand most likely because it's stained with blue-green ink. I think the smile is because she was able to swap out nibs and get it back together in one piece. Let's see if she made a YouTube Video.

Famously the Queen is known to favour the Parker 51.

 

Someone is supposed to have called Parker and asked them to do some work on their Parker 51.

 

'I am sorry to say sir, that we do no longer do work on the 51'.

 

'If the Queen was to call you and ask you to do some repairs, what would your answer be?'

 

'Well sir, I think we would do the work'.

 

'Her pen is working fine, so you can fix my 51 instead'.

I would say that it is a Conway Stewart Churchill

Of course, if it was a 51 Aero, it probably wouldn't need much (if any) in the way of repairs....

She has quite a lot of nice pens, mostly Parkers

[Bo Bo Olson]

Once Parker made pens in England, so she could get them free for a Warrant; good for a year.** Back in the '50's they made regular Duofolds, in I have a semi-flex English Jr. Duofold.

 

Those modern Conway Stewart's were so very beautiful........so very expensive. I should check British Ebay....more than likely still too expensive.

 

 

Wouldn't mind the ink well at all.

Nor the desk.

I think she sat on the cat

[Pingu]

Shes of the generation that grew up using fountain pens so Im not surprised if she does actually prefer them. Parker holds the Royal warrant but that doesnt necessarily mean that is her personal brand of choice. Who knows, given the dynastic origin, she may even prefer German pens 😛

[dadbar]

It's bad form to use a fountain pen while wearing white pajamas.

Charles Rice and Uncial - thanks so much!!! You made my day! :-)
