19, The Parker "61" Snorkel

[rhr]

And here's another Parker-Sheaffer hybrid pen that was never put into production, a capillary filler with a snorkel, or a snorkel filler that fills by capillary action, patent no. 2,784,699. You would have dipped the snorkel and waited for it to fill itself. It's a Parker "61" and Sheaffer "Snorkel" frankenpen!

 

Also check out patent no. 2,774,332, a capillary filler like the Parker "61", but with a capillary material that extends right under the nib to become the feed. It fills at the nib end as well as at the other end.

 

This one's another one for all the Parker and Sheaffer collectors out there.
