Parker Newhaven Staff Pens

[MancFrank]

Also, an un - numbered pen on this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/132229418714?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true

 

You'll note it's in Taiwan, although with bag - maybe your former pen for which a bag was obtained, baz666?

Hi MancFrank,

 

Having looked at the ebay listing, I don't think it is the pen I sold.

The sellers ebay ID is not the same as the seller I sold mine to, also the pattern on the cap does not resemble the one I sold.

Looks like they were quite a hit in Taiwan.

 

 

Sellers pen currently on ebay.

 

 

 

Unnumbered pen I sold.

For such a query you should have contacted Paul back channel.

It's not a problem Khan.

 

Writehand,

No unfortunatly not.

I use them when I list pens for sale.

May not be a problem with you, Paul.

 

But...the FPN rules about sale purchase.

[baz666]

Yea, understood.

But It's O.K. to chill sometimes, isn't it?

[mitto]

Agree.

Hi guys,

Hoping you can help, I've recently purchased a Newhaven Staff Duofold, number 037, it came with the original box and certificate of authenticity. Unfortunately though it was missing the two other information cards which came with it. Is there any chance somebody could photograph them so that I can have a copy of them? Here's hoping,

Interesting - I have a staffer pen, with bag and cards and thank you card to the employee. I don't think the pen is numbered, though think the card says a number, but didn't think it was that rare. Is mine one of the first six then? Will fish it out of safe keeping tomorrow to check... Was considering putting it up for sale, so any extra provenance would be helpful! *Edit - just checked, and mine is number 114 of 175, but don't think the pen itself is numbered, just the card

All the numbered Newhaven staff Duofolds were engraved on the bottom of the barrel.

Ah, mine *is* numbered at the end (114). But I also have the bag and box etc.

Hi

 

I know I'm late to this conversation but I only found it today. I was talking to some one who works with in the same office as myself and was talking about my time at parkers and how I had been issued a leavers pen and how it was different from the majority of the leavers pens as mine was not numbered. So I have one of the unnumbered pens.

 

I had be contacted by parkers after I had left and asked to return the pen and it would be issued with something else in its place, when I asked what it was going to be I was told they did not know at that time. this is when I decided not to return my pen, it was only after the factory had completely closed I found out that they had continued to issue the pens but they were now numbered, I was told by a contact I had then that this arrangement was come to after the union had intervened as the leavers gift that they proposed was not an acceptable alternative to the pens we have today.

Darren, that is really great first hand information, many thanks for sharing!

 

Did your pen also come with the box and bag too?

[Heinkle]

Was the decision to leave Newhaven an exercise in economy when Newell took over?

Joss, yes it did, I have it all. I also have with it the personalised hand written card that was given to me from the factory manager Tim Lamb (these where given to everyone as far as I know). I will take some more photos when I get the chance to.
