Hello everyone.

I have a Parker fountain pen which was given to me by my father many years ago. I have just given it to my granddaughter. We would like to know the name, age and any other information we can get on it. It has a squeeze fill type cartridge. Please see the two pics I have attached.

Thank you,

Craig.

Greetings from Pittsburgh! :W2FPN:

My first semi-vintage pen was a Parker 45 that I found in an antiques mall in northwest PA a few years ago. It has a 14K medium nib, and with the right ink it's like dancing on ice on the page.

Besides the links that other people have already told you about, I'll add one that I was tipped off to when I posted pix of my first 45 (yes, there have been others since then :D). It's a video made by a guy named Tyler Dahl who did a video on how to disassemble a Parker 45 for thorough cleaning: http://tylerdahlpens.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-disassemble-parker-45.html and is very useful (I will warn you that I almost lost the nib down the drain because when removed from the nib assembly the nib is REALLY small..... :huh: Yikes, I think that I started that thread about 6-1/2 or so years ago at this point.... :o

But the fact that the pen is now going on to a fourth generation is really neat. When I was a kid I had glommed onto some pen/pencil combo that had been my grandfather's -- mostly because it had BEEN my grandfather's; sadly of course that pen is long gone. :wallbash: No idea what it was, and I thought the leads for the pencil end went in through the lever. My mother couldn't figure out my fascination with it -- my parents grew up during the Depression and for her, fountain pens were messy and a lot of trouble (although I remember her trying to get a ballpoint started by taking a match to the ball end...). But of course she probably never had a *good* pen like a Parker....

Thank you everyone for the information. I've never used a Forum before and it's a bit confusing for an old guy. By the way, I'm in Rochester, NY. I hope this post goes out to everyone who responded to my initial request.

Thanks again.

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

      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
