Hi folks!

 

I am new to fountain pens and fine writing tools. I fell in love my simple Waterman Hemisphere' and I use my Waterman Expert Rollerball every day! I came into posession of a Parker Limited Edition Norman Rockwell pen and find that its too nice for me to use. I'm not really a collector so I'm looking to find out how to place it in a new home where it can really be appreciated. My gosh its gorgeous!

Hello and Welcome to FPN!! Glad to have you as a member!!

 

The Rockwell is a great pen and I love to write with mine! You should ink it up and give it a go! If you decide to sell it, you might try eBay or the classifieds here on FPN after you are a Gold member. Again Welcome to the forum!

Welcome !

 

How did you come by the Parker ? Was it a gift ? Inheritance ? (Shoplift ?)

It is a "limited edition", so don't expect to replace it, should you change your mind, for anything near reasonable price.

If you would rather have the money, then sell itl. Expect about 50% of retail price.

 

Now, to the issue >>> WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU DON'T DESERVE IT ? Only a "collector" deserves a

beautiful pen ? Don't you believe it !

 

Enjoy your Waterman.

A Limted Edtion Parker!!! You could give it away to some very nice aggie, that is a member of the FPN!!! But of course you would have to adopt said nice aggie!!! JUST KIDDY, OF COURSE!

 

Ink that precious FP up & give it a test " write " . You probably will change your mind.

 

Welcome to the Fourm of FP.

PS: I agree about enjoying those Watermans.

Hello and welcome. I'm glad you joined us. Please make yourself right at home and don't hesitate to share your questions and opinions. I hope you enjoy your time with us.

 

I strongly encourage you to ink that Parker and give it a real work-out. I think you'll find you enjoy it. As to being worthy, you are as worthy as anyone else.

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
