What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[AL01]

I am a few years off.

[Jerome Tarshis]

Two 51 Aero Demis, burgundy and midnight blue, with Pelikan black. The Demi size has a happier relation with the depth of my shirt pockets than the full-size 51. So I shall have to work out some way of thinking about pockets that will encourage me to use all my 51s.

Two (English) 51s and two 75s medium and broad nibs.

Paker "51" aero with Parker Quink Permanent Blue.

[mitto]

Today I have inked a trio of English aero Duofold Juniors - a black, a blue and a red. All three have flexible broad nibs. Lately I have been enjoying using Parker English wet juicy nibs.

[Beechwood]

A Parker 45, havent used one in years and had forgetten how good the nib design was, could take in apart in a minute. The broad nib is superb too, hint of a stub.

 

Restored a 1958 Duofold today which was undamaged but in a shocking condition on the bodywork, so easy to polish back to perfection.

I'm using my first Parker fountain pen (unless I had one in high school or some other distant time)! It is a Sonnet that I won on a PIF right here on FPN last week. The benefactor was Pajaro. It turns out my only Parker "wannabe" pen, a Baoer 388, appears coincidentally to have a lot of resemblance to this Parker.

 

I neglected to write down the ink: Noodler's Navy.

 

Thanks again to Pajaro and I'm a newbie all over!

Is it a co-incidence, Edwardo? I am using my dark grey VS with gold cap, gold washed clutch ring and gold button assembly. Also inked are a B nibbed 75, a M nibbed Slimfold and a B stub nibbed Duofold AF.

Also using a Parker Victory today.

Three 180s - Parker Quink blue-black, Pelikan 4001 brilliantgreen and Pelikan 4001 brilliantred.

I really like this double-nib M-XF.

Beautiful 180 trio. Your love for 180 seems to be ever growing. Why don't you try to collect all the finishes?

> Why don't you try to collect all the finishes?

HAHA, I'm not that rich. I saw many finishes on the parkernet but actually there seem to be even more in reality. Yesterday, there was another one on Yahoo auctions. Beautiful. But I didn't go for it. It always leaves a broken heart to see it go away.

I have other pens which also want my affection, Parker 75, Sailor, Pilot, Platinum and MB, e.g. - not to forget some really nice Jinhao and WingSung.

But I am working on that "problem" with the missing finishes.

[mitto]

Good, but give it a thought to be a Specialist collector of 180s. That Waterman pouch is beautiful.

[qvxb]

Parker Premium Jotter (Carlisle brown) ballpoint with medium blue Quinkflow refill.

[lisadan]

Parker Urban Black

[pajaro]

Parker Sonnet Firedance, red and black marbled, medium (cursive) italic. Cartridge filled, no drying out. I am happy I got this one to work right.

[inkstainedruth]

Today it was the two most recent acquisitions (new to me as of the Triangle Pen Show a few weeks ago):

 

Midnight Blue Parker 51 Aerometric, F(?) nib -- Lamy Pacific Blue

Navy Gray Parker 51 Aerometric (English made), OB nib -- R&K Alt Bordeaux

Parker Sonnet Firedance, red and black marbled, medium (cursive) italic. Cartridge filled, no drying out. I am happy I got this one to work right.

Firedance is the only Sonnet of mine that writes beautifully for me too with no drying out. It came to me with a bent and twisted nib that I straightened. All I can say it is totally a different experience writing with this Sonnet of mine.
