rff000 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Long before TV became common, in 1941, Parker used the idea of "television" to describe its visible ink supply through the barrel. Maybe this is well-known, but it was the first I heard of a visible ink supply called television! Edited April 9, 2019 by rff000 Link to post Share on other sites

Ted F Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Very interesting ad. Television was invented before WWII but got put on hold until after the war. When they made the ad I wonder if they knew of television or some ad copywriter just made up the word. Link to post Share on other sites
JonSzanto Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Another important point to note is that all the way back into 1935 they had a model made in Canada called the Televisor You can read more about that pen in a good artice on Tony Fischier's "Parker Collector" site right here. "When Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick; and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."~ Benjamin Franklin Link to post Share on other sites
georges zaslavsky Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Excellent ad when Parker was at the top in terms of quality and innovation Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time Link to post Share on other sites
