I just received a Parker 21 and I was wondering how I could tell the diference between a 21 and a Super 21.? And how I might find what date it was manufactured.

Please give a correct date to my favorite Parker 51
(Preview)
My favorite pen is a black Parker 51, but I don't know when it was produced. It is clear to me that it is a Mark I, but I would like to know the year?it was produced. It is an American '51', that's also sure, but what makes this pen different from my other '51', which was prodeced in '56, is the text on the filler...

......shouldn't exist(?) I picked up this odd ball 51 a while back & have been trying to figure out why it is the way it is. I have a few thoughts but I'll hold on to those until I get a few replies.

Star Clip on Larger Vacumatic
(Preview)
I've had a Standard Vacumatic with a star clip from 1939 before but hadn't come across a Senior model until now.? I confess that my experience with this model is limited to the few examples that have crossed my path, maybe 15 of them.? And then only one that I've cared enough for to keep rather than sell to...

BIG
(Preview)
I've come to be a fan of big pens over the years.? I started in fountain pens by carrying a Sheaffer TM Snorkel and then a small Cross.? But there's just something to be said for a big honkin pen.? It's sort of a "my pen's bigger than your pen" kind of thing.? What's the biggest pen you actually ca...

A New One On Me--Parker 19
(Preview)
I recently picked up a Parker 19, which, near as I can tell, is a bottom-end version of the 45. The pen looks like a Parker 45 Arrow, except it has a slip cap (rather than threaded) and the steel nib has no collar--the breather hole is exposed and the nib is not interchangeable. The cap is stamped "Par...

Debutante Filler Units
(Preview)
This is just a picture for Dennis to look at. These are Debutante lock-down units for mid-1930s Parkers. Note the aluminum tubes on the left and stainless tubes on the right. I'm assuming the stainless were the earlier ones. PeteWK Geez - how about now? -- Edited by PeteWK at 12:19, 2007-11-20

I am trying to assemble a chronology of the Parker 45--the various models and trim levels from the introduction in 1960 through the end of production in 2006.? If you have catalogs from that period and are willing to provide, either free or for a reasonable fee, copies of the Parker 45 pages, I would be m...

Parker 61: which ink is save?
(Preview)
Comrades, I bought a capillary action Parker 61. Normally I use Waterman's Florida Blue, but is it perhaps safer to buy a bottle of Quink Washable Blue? Thanks, R.

A couple more nice parkers that have crossed my bench
(Preview)
A couple of years ago I found these next 2 on an antiques website with the standard loust grainy horribly lit pics. It asked for an offer. I shot them one of $40.00 for the pair and they took it. MUCH to my surprize and elight...lol. Looking back i honestly feel guilty that I didn't offer more for these pens...
