Does Anybody Make A Clone Of Parker 75 Cicele (Sterling Silver)?

[sansenri]

Thank you everybody. I asked a simple question and this thing is getting derailed repetitiously and pointlessly. Buy whatever you like and leave rest of the world in peace.

 

Thanks for your contributions, I found what I was looking for. Please consider this thread closed.

Not pointless, it's nice to discuss, at least now you have all the options! enjoy your pens!

Agree, not pointless - an interesting discussion.

 

Hope you got a good pen.

 

Enjoy.

Unfortunately, discussion boards don't work that way. You can start the topic rolling, but you don't have control over where it goes.

Ironically, this thread made me go look at real ciselé 75s on Sunday at the Commonwealth Pen Show. I like the look of them (they are much better looking in person than in photos, BTW), but I'm a little concerned about the pens' weight. So I decided to forego any pen purchases for the time being (I was looking at other pens on Sunday as well) and will sleep on it and then have another look in November at the Ohio Pen Show, which is larger -- but may decide that my disposable income is better spent on getting some pens repaired for the time being. Especially when it comes to a relatively heavy pen.

OTOH, I got used to the weight of the first TWSBI 580-AL I bought enough to buy a 580-ALR to go with it....

I bought one of the Stirling Silver Cisele pens a while back after wanting one for a long time. The extra fine is as good an EF as I have used. Mine is a late model 75 and the weight is not obtrusive. it is a nice looking pen, and it has a nice feel.

"Taking place of a most probably dead person."

 

I found a very nice Sheaffer Triumph Autograph at a local antique store. Paid less than $20. Of course I realized it had been owned by someone who is now dead—as will all the pens owned by me someday. Anyway, the last name engraved on the band was the same as some of the students I had taught. Saw the kids' parents at a school function and told them about the pen. Yes it had belonged to a grandparent and had been sold when the estate was broken up. They were glad it had come into someone's hands who would appreciate and use it. And I was glad to have a connection to some of my students' family.

 

Yes, you are holding and using something that was once a very personal item of someone who lived years ago. That doesn't have to be a bad thing.

absolutely, these things happen, and thank goodness if besides our interest in a hobby that provides us enjoyment, there are sometimes also emotions stuck to some of these objects.

I once bough a used pen from a person I did not know: at one point we were discussing price and she told me she had no knowledge of fountain pens, the pen had belonged to a dear relative who had passed away, and she was afraid she was asking too much, but needed the money to buy medicines for chemio therapy, since she had cancer...

I was speachless...I offered that she should keep the money but also the pen, I had no intention to profit of her.

She firmly refused, she said she had understood that I would be the person who would best care for that pen, she thanked for the money but insisted that I should keep the pen. I think about her every time I use that pen.

I believe there were some 75 or 45 clones found in the model shop in Janesville that bore the name Bismark. Speculation was Parker was looking at them for infringement cases. I don’t think I wound up with them but next time I’m in that box of stuff I’ll look.

The Wing Sung 220 & The Wing Sung 500 are "Clones". They aren't exact replicas, but they have very similar nibs.
