Parker pen identification


Asteris

Recommended Posts

While searching through my father's old stationary box I found 3 parker ballpoint pens and while all of them look like jotters, they have some interesting deifferences. The first one is all metal, with a medium refill, made in France and does'nt have the logo on the push button, the second one is half plastic-half metal with a medium refill and made in the USA and has the arrow logo on the push button. The third one is all metal, is slimmer than the other 2, has a fine refill, is made in the UK and has the P logo on the push button. All of them come from the same 3-pen case. Any ideas about these models? 20220429_174236.thumb.jpg.b80934732efd3bce3af1c179946a9dfe.jpg20220429_174246.thumb.jpg.150228133abafa35afdb467246b392b5.jpg20220429_174326.thumb.jpg.ba743bd176e3cbf19f5f771e63a37ce3.jpg20220429_174421.thumb.jpg.7dbdf63bbd444ef9e1e791ee8cac08ff.jpg20220429_174445.thumb.jpg.35203a571f7f9d4089a77736d1e23ac6.jpg20220429_174639.thumb.jpg.7c16c31ddefb1e49a524e7121a573e5a.jpg

First two are 45s, third is a Classic. Nice daily-use pens.

Hello.

 

 Please allow me the opportunity to ask questions.

 When I buy the Parker 45 FP from the 1960s, there are times when such a jotter-type ballpoint pen or pencil accompanies the flock.

 I used to think it was a by-product of my Parker 45 purchase, so I was going to get rid of those ballpoint pens ...

 It was helpful to know that they were 45 BP.

 

 By the way, what is the way to distinguish this 45 BP from Jotter?

 It feels different from the current jotter, but I can't tell.

 Also, I would like to know the relationship with the cap-actuated type 45 BP and the cap-actuated type T-ball that has the same shape and has no inscription.

 I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to distinguish.

Sorry, I had looked too quickly on my phone. The first two are jotters. 45 ballpoints would be cap-actuated.

I wondered if the 45s had the same phenomenon that the International Classic would appear as a Parker 75 ballpoint pen.

 😄

 I think it's a good idea to enjoy matching the colors of the Parker 45 fp and the Jotter ballpoint pen, so I will cherish those Jotters (metal threads) in the sense of paying homage to the previous owners of the pens.

      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
