What Parkers Are You Working With Today?

[Gerd W]

This one came in a couple days ago. It's one of the two Brit Burgundys from the UK I'm waiting on. It's a little more red than it shows in this outdoor (cloudy) today Droid pic. It looks like it has a UK Fine which would make it about a U.S. M- which should be about perfect for me. I even picked up my official KD135 section pliers yesterday from NAPA so I guess this will be my first full 51 disassemble. I already fixed a little bend in the clip and cleaned the outside up a bit.

Parker Sonnet Sterling Ciselé, 18K B-Nib, filled with Quink blue-black.

Purchased in 1993, a great and reliable writer from the first day.

Today's post is brought to you by a Parker International Duofold Blue Mosaic with M nib

 

Also, a vector is in rotation somewhere with an F nib

[OcalaFlGuy]

Haven't really done much with it yet other than a quick once over wipe down but at least it has arrived from the UK in good shape I think.

 

British Burgundy Aero with a converging line Rolled Silver cap with Gold trim. No dents but 1 line and just very light surface wear to the cap. Especially considering the deal I got on it, I might be sending the cap to Daniel to get prettied up.

 

PS Sorry for the down and dirty phone pic.

 

Bruce in Ocala, FL-ok, now we're back to not really looking for anything. No. Really.

Man Bruce, that is PRETTY!

[MR. PEN MAN]

Parker 51 Signet, fine point Nib Pelikan 4001 Violet Ink.

This is off topic but Mr. Pen Man I was thinking of buying a bottle of pelikan 4001 violet but I was afraid of feathering. I will be using it on the cheap paper I use for school and a moleskine, so in your personal experience what would you recommend.

I found the ink writes with no problem on all kinds of papers, but different fountain pen nibs do effect the perfomance.

 

My parker signet writes great on all kind of surface, but some other types, like my waterman hemisphere golden fine point nib is very picky on what type of paper i use it on.

Only fp I have used today is a cardinal red 1928 Duofold Jr. filled with Waterman Blue Black. This is the one that started my appreciation of the Duofold Jr. pens, and it has rarely been uninked since I got it nearly eight years ago.

[welch]

- Parker 61 c/c, English medium...ah. Penman Sapphire

 

- Parker 51 aero forest green, medium, also Penman Sapphire

[Rockyrod]

Parker 51 vac 1946 in Yellowstone and a Pelikan 101N, both loaded with Diamine Umber.

[Malcy]

Today I am using.......

 

A broad nibbed black/GF aero P51

 

A 1930 Parker Raven Black and Gold

 

In the post is a mystery pen, the pictures were a bit indistinct but it is a BHR Duofold shaped pen. Could be a Jack knife or DQ, who knows?

 

Hopefully I'll be able to try it out on Monday.

[MR. PEN MAN]

Parker 51 Dove Gray Vac with Sheaffer Skrip green ink.

[OcalaFlGuy]

This one.

 

I hooked up with about 3 bottles worth of Parker Penman Sapphire carts over on The Bay. (Couldn't be left out of the FPN PPS orgy doncha know... )

 

I actually had 9 carts of PPS left over already and went ahead and transferred them to a small Nalgene bottle (1/2 oz).

 

Flushed both this one and one of my Plums and have them drying getting ready for a load of Sapphire. Also mumbling over the pen god beads that this one at least doesn't get cloggy with the PPS like some 51's do. I WOULD definitely be disappointed. (In fact, I'm not going to fill the Plum right away with it until I try this out for a couple days.)

 

Silly thing is, the PPS may not even look that different from the Faux Penman Sapphire or my usual American Blue or DCSSB.

 

What the heck, might as well try some in it anyway.

 

Bruce in Ocala, FL-with nice Sapphire fingers even! :clap1:
