What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[bsenn]

A 50 flighter and a 45 flighter. I must be into metal today...

A butt ugly, antique store Parker 45 I found a couple of years ago for $5. It was in a cigar box behind the counter among a collection of broken mechanical pencils and advertising wood pencils. The only fountain pen in the store.

 

The good news - it is aerometric converter or cartridge fill and has the most delicious stub nib. Very nice writer.

Why is it butt ugly?

51s. I alternate.

The barrel looks like it has been chewed on for years - dings and chips in the plastic. The cap is badly scratched. But the pen writes a buttery soft nice line.

I just used a Parker Sonnet.

I am using my Parker 75, inked up with my Paradise Pen ink (it writes well :-) ).

Yeah, sometimes worn pens are the most comfortable. You don't have to worry about putting the first scratch in a pristine pen and they write well because the nib has been worn in. One of my favorite daily users is a vac with bite marks in the blind cap. I am almost tempted to try a gnaw myself.

 

Today I am using a 1937 parkette. Superfine nib, but smooth. Second pen of the day is a 50 flighter.

A sweet little broad 75 loaded with Antietam. The gold nib was bent in a roll off but I was able to bring it back reasonably straight. Just flows the best.

Ran through the day with a Vacumatic Junior that I received in the mail yesterday. Very happy with it.

Parker IM in Gunmetal with a Meium nib. It's the only Parker I own and I filled it today with Pelikan Edelstein Topaz. Although I'm a small person, I find the girth of the pen a little too small for my liking, but it's a nice looking pen.
