How Much Is A 1993 Ryder Cup Parker Pen In Original Box (I Presume) Worth?

Recommended Posts

I have a Parker pen that is in immaculate condition and from the Ryder Cup in 1993. It has been sitting on a draw for a prolonged period of time and has never been used. I would really appreciate someone's help as to how much it is worth. It is a fountain pen and not a roller and has some IBM branding on the lid. I really appreciate the help, thank you.

It all depends on the model of the Parker Bob, I would guess that these were given to IBM guests on the day as opposed to a prize or an award. The most popular branded pen at the time for promotions was the Vector, in which case any buyer of the pen will be looking for change from a fiver.

 

A photograph would help to give you a better idea. The image is of an IBM Parker Vector

I think you would do better to look in a source for info on Ryder Cup collectibles. Unless a pen buyer were into Ryder Cup memorabilia, the pen would probably be worth less to a pen buyer than a pen without the commemorative printing.

Good advice from Pajero there Bob. The pen is a step up from the Vector, but not by too much. There are ebay sellers who specialise in Ryder Cup merchandise but it is a little esoteric.

 

To the average pen person with no golf connection the unbranded pen would be worth around £30, probably dropping to £20ish as it stands. Sorry, its not better news

      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
