Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I have a 1955 Parker Duofold Senior which was given to me, along with matching propelling pencil for my 18th birthday. It has been in more or less contiuous use since then and at 56 years old still works perfectly. The fine nib must have written hundreds of miles and is very smooth. Its flow is excellent and, even if left for a couple of weeks, does not dry out and starts first time. Cosmetically, the gold ring on the cap has lost its plating but the clip is OK but the Parker Duofold impression on the barrel has been smoothed away by use and there is also a slight ring mark where it has been used capped. Needless to say it is one of my favourite pens.

Lovely pens!

 

I have a slimfold, and a standard (an eBay gamble that, sadly, didn't pay off, as the "slight damage" to the nib was anything but). I still hope to obtain a standard, or perhaps a senior at some point - congratulations on yours!

It was a challenge to transcribe this review of the 1955 English Made Parker Duofold Senior Aerometric due to the light ink used.

 

Enjoy! :thumbup:

I have a Parker Slimfold from 1958 that a relative purchased around then. She left it to me in her will and passed last summer, so I've had the pen for a little while. I had cleaned it for her a number of years ago, but she didn't write with it, as she had trouble writing any more because of her age. It's fun to use because it reminds me of her and it writes very nicely. Interestingly, the rubber sac is still in perfect condition after 50 years and doesn't need replacing. Your pen pictures look pretty much like the Slimfold except for size.

It is a beauty! Black is always an elegant colour for classic pens. I'm glad he reminded you that you wanted it! Thanks for sharing.

      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
