Parker 21
(Preview)
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...

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things......

......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. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Who can spot the odd ball in the mix (left to right), whats unusual ab...

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

Need Copies of Parker Catalogs--Parker 45s
(Preview)
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 bunch of Parker Parts
(Preview)
Don't have pictures for general consumption but I just got a stash of Parker parts I shelled out 500 dollars for on eBay. They included 30 or so NOS clips from early Senior Duofolds to blue diamond 51s as well as around 25 NOS filler units for the early Vacumatics in all three sizes. The four NOS clutch r...

How much is my First Year Parker 51 worth?
(Preview)
Hi All. I was wondering just how much my first year Parker 51 is worth. Its the stainless capped model with gold filled wedding band. No dents though a scratch on the cap (I'll post pictures). Everything is correct except that I had the filler swapped to the plastic one. I still have all the correct...

I'm posting a bunch of catalogs over the next few days, weeks etc in the research part of our board. I thought I'd put this over here for the Parkerite's pleasure. I'm sorry about the missisng parts of page 15 and 16 but they've been gone for about 80 years I'm told. There will probably be some informat...

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...
