At the moment:

 

Parker Sonnet (Diamine Majestic Blue)

Parker Urban (Black cart)

Parker 45 (Diamine Raw Sienna)

 

My economics teacher was demonstrating value of items during trade and swapped my pen for a pin from a corkboard, and said they were probably of equal value...

I'll let him off, 90% use disposable Biros!

Parker 75, Ingenuity, Premier, Sonnet, Urban | Pelikan M400 | TWSBI Diamond 580 | Visconti Rembrandt



Currently inked: Diamine Apple Glory (Rembrandt), Pelikan 4001 Turquoise (M400), Lamy Black (Diamond 580)

I'm going to use my Parker Sonnet inked up with my new ink samples I received as a gift. (you know who you are, thanks)

Parker Rialto. I actually had to grind the medium nib last night after it took a spill and the tip broke. It's now a beautiful 1.6mm stub! I've been having fun with it since last night, paired with Sailor Jentle Miruai.

I'm using my Parker Sonnet F with Paradise Pen ink to do my schoolwork.

I also used my Jotter at school for writing my name during Civics and Economics 8 AAP (HN). Of course, my jotter is inked with a Quink ballpoint cartridge.

Been taking notes all day with a 25. For how utilitarian the pen is, the nib is sooo smooth it glides...

Everyday writer at work and home is a brushed stainless steel 45 Flighter <F> nib and will be trying out Noodler's Heart of darkness black when it arrives. It was inherited from my grandad and I believe it is '65 or '66, but it is too hard to date and my grandad is no longer around to tell me.

 

I love this pen, it makes me smile to use it. It goes across the page with effortless ease.

This morning's journal pages were done with the stainless steel body Parker Vector (M), sporting Diamine Sargasso Sea. I'm going to run a fill and then try some other inks (and possibly some mixes) in that pen and then see which really is the absolute substitute for Parker Penman Sapphire (of which I now have a couple of cartridges, courtesy of FPN member Kestrel :bunny01:).

A few random notes were jotted with the Silver Pearl Vac Major, which has just come back into rotation -- I've got De Atramentis Tchaikowsky/Silver Grey in it, which (as I suspected) is a good combination: wet ink, fine nib. :thumbup:

The Plum 51 (still inked up with Noodler's Purple Heart) will probably see some use this evening, as well.

ETA: Possibly also the 61 I got at DCSS -- I keep flushing more distilled water through it and still get usable writing out of it. Dunno what the ink is, but it's a blue-black without any teal in it -- and this pen just seems to be the Energizer Bunny pen, because it just keeps going and going. :o I've been using it pretty regularly for a month now and whatever was in it doesn't seem to be *that* diluted yet....

Today I had to refill the Black P51 desk pen. I did not realize that the pen is a Demi Areo.

The info on the press bar says press fill bar four times. [ Strange ? ]

I'm writing my agenda with my Parker Sonnet F AGAIN...

"Yay", I'm using the same ink again. However, I have some ink samples I'm going to try this weekend.

1949 USA aerometric P51 in forest green, lustraloy cap/GP clip & XF nib, using Noodlers forest green ink... my $20 holiday find in a Chilliwack (BC) antique shop.

1937 mk 1 Canadian Televisor in striated grey pattern with flat mk 2 cap top and lovely flexible nib, using mundane black Quink.

Parker 51 gray vacumatic, with a beat-up gold filled cap and a chip out of the point of the hood. I replaced the filler unit and this 1942 product writes beautifully again.

I have to use all the black ink to try some new blue ink samples.
