Hi Pete,

Thanks for posting this Parker catalogue, and the Parkergram in the Parker forum. The Parker style numbers that I found in these two helped me to fill in a lot of blanks in the list of "Early Parker Style Numbers" that I am compiling in this thread on L&P.

Do you have any other early Parker catalogues that you can post, or even better, any Parker repair parts lists? I could really use some more like the one on Bill Acker's website that's mentioned in the L&P thread. There are lots of style numbers in those repair parts lists. What I really need is a Parker parts list from the Duofold era. I'll make a pact with you. If you post some more early Parker catalogues or repair parts lists with more numbers that I don't have, I'll cross post my updated number list over here as well. Is that a deal?

Sincerely,

George Kovalenko.

Okay, Pete, it's a deal.  ;~)

In the early period, the numbers referred to one model, but with many styles allowed within that number, and later there were many style numbers for one model, so I have taken to calling them "Style Numbers", which is just short for "Style and Model Numbers".  You'll see what I mean when you see the updated list.

The years I really need are the 1920s and 30s, but I'll take anything from the 40s and 50s as well.  It all helps for cross-referencing purposes.  For instance, the 1960 repair parts manual still has some parts for Vacs listed, because they were re-used on later models of 51s.  And many parts, such as bushing rings and cap-jewel screws, etc., were re-used on many different models, so it's as if they were cross-pollinated.  I'd also like to see what numbers were used for the Parker 75, and I'm also curious to find out when the numbering system petered out and was discontinued.

Hi George. The Parker scans are actually at a higher res and are larger pics than the Waterman. It all comes down to the quality of the original. As for the Parker overlays are you referring to the 51s or the 1921 scans?

OK George.  This should improve your prospects.

I'm almost ready to post my revised and expanded "Parker Model And Style Numbers" list here and at L&P, but I still need a few more to complete it. I have most of the first 100 Parker model numbers, but I'm still missing numbers 68, 69, 77, 78, 79, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 93, 94, and 97. I'm also missing most of the 100's, 200's, 300's and 400's, but I've lately filled in a lot of the 500's to 800's. Can anyone help to fill in some of these missing numbers before I post my list?

George Kovalenko.
