Hello, Everyone. I recently purchased a Parker Parkette based solely on the photos provided on eBuymyjunkplease. It wasn't an expensive pen, and the nib appears to be intact. The pen needs a new sac.....and a new j-bar. The sac size was easy to determine (thank you, FPN!). The J-bar length appears to be a mystery. Looking at some websites, it looks like the J-Bar comes in 62mm, 54mm and 40mm. Any ideas on which one would fit in the Parkette? It's a 1938 Junior model (not Deluxe) in grey celluloid marble. The nib is steel with a little gold plating left and the number "9" stamped in it. --Eric

Hi everybody! this is my first new topic, so be patient. I've recently bought a parkette set that looked very nice on ebay, but I realized when it arrived, that the iridium tipping is fundamentally gone. Now, I have two questions for the forum: a. what do you do in these case? I guess the answer is: nothing, there is no unexpensive way of dealing with this issue. b. the nib looks like it is gold rather than gold plated, but i could only find replacemente parkette nibs that are gold plated (and i still wonder whether it is worth the price). Do all parkettes have gold plated nibs except the deluxe ones? Suggestions welcome!
