Hi, I have a Parker Ultra Giant pen and am trying to get more info on it. I have found very little about it on the internet. It is a huge black pen, 9 inches long and has a small red pen inside. From what I have seen so far on one site it is very rare and not many examples exist. If you can help I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Tim

Yeah?

Please supply a little more info on where this was sourced, because if you have the intact one with the original cap , it has been sought after for years.

I suggest you contact Lynn Sorgatz for info on this.

PM me your details and I'll get you his or arrange fro him to contact you.

cheers.

It came from an estate and it is complete. It has the cap and on the other end has a cap that screws off and I noticed a red dot. I turned it upside down and this tiny red pen came out. It is complete also. The big pen is marked GEO. PARKER LUCKY CURVE and has patent dates on it. The cap is faded some but there are no cracks or damage. Info is scarce on this pen. I knew it was unusual and it took a whole day of research just to find out what it was. I need info about a number on the cap.

Thanks

Tim

David's site is vintagepens

This is vintagepen Jonathan Steinberg.

 

Somehow I do think that this topic is going to become quite busy in the next day or so ;-)

Someone suggested that I put it on ebay. Is that a good idea? Should I put a reserve? What should the reserve be? Any estimates on what it will bring? Thanks to everyone for your help.

I think that is the only thing it can be. Did Parker make any other 9 inch pens with a small pen inside besides the Ultra Giant? It looks just like the only picture of the ultra giant I could find online.

Thanks

The Ultra Giant is the only pen Parker made with a small red pen inside. Can you take some photos and post them? It would be much easier to help you on this.

 

Relative to selling, this would be very desirable. Ebay is a good option, but there are several advanced collectors that would be interested in a direct sale. Send me a private message via this website and I can help you connect up.

By the "original cap" do you mean the cap that covers the nib? or the screw on cap at the other end that holds the small pen? Someone said there may be a number on the cap. Which cap?

Thanks

The other pen in the pic is 6 inches long and is a Parker Black Giant. I'm not sure how these pics will turn out. The lighting is bad. If I put it up on ebay the pics will be much better.

Thanks

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
