What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[eliweisz]

Parker Duofold Senior (UK), M nib, inked with Quink Blue-Black (which is anything but blue-black, but who cares?).

Parker 51 vac Cordovan Brown that I just finished. I love these pens....

[cherylmarie]

Parker 15 flighter, 1983, extra fine. I picked this up only because it was cheap ($5). I collect older pens, so I was going to group it with some other inexpensive pens on ebay.

 

But I like this little French pen! I'm thinking of giving it a permanent spot in my purse, to replace a Varsity that writes too wide for notes in a small pad.

Using this '45' with it's fine nib, makes a change for me as the vast majority of my pens are 'M' or 'B'.

today I had a Parker 51 Teal blue aerometric MK1, gold fine nib:

Teal blue?

Sunday night is the time to get ready for the week ahead and careful thought goes into what pen to use...

Normally I like a smaller nib, but this week I decided to be bold!

My pick, A Parker 61, with A Rainbow cap and OB nib (might even be OBB measures 1.15 mm?).

I cleaned the capillary and topped it off with Pelikan Edelstein Jade.

 

Have a good week,

M

Teal blue?

 

Yes. In the photo looks like a different colour.

Today (so far) I am using my Parker 51 (burgundy with a dented cap--love it anyway). I have a Turquoise Parker 45 inked up at home for later.

[mitto]

Yes, She's a Brit.

I recognise the Brits just by having a look at their nibs. Lol.

A beautif medium stub nib. How does it write?

[inkstainedruth]

 

Yes. In the photo looks like a different colour.

 

I would have called that Teal, no matter what -- if you look where the sun hits the barrel, it's definitely Teal, and not Midnight Blue. Of course it helps that my first 51 was a Teal Blue Aerometric (someday I'm gonna get my hands on a Midnight Blue Aero, but I suspect that it won't be cheap; who knew that Midnight Blue was a hard to find color? I mean, I have a Demi that's *PLUM* -- that was easier to get than Midnight Blue... ).
