What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[lockesly]

I have two 51 vacumatics that I use daily. I have a dove grey (1947) with a matching pencil that I keep in my desk at school. My home pen is a cedar blue Vacumatic. I also have a green aerometric as well as a burgundy and gold 61, an English Duofold, and a Slimfold.

[Florida Blue]

Today, I am using a 1948 Parker 51 aero in navy gray. Inked with Parker Quink blue/black ink.

[blefevre]

Parker 51 aeromatic with green body and gold filled cap. Ink is Parker Quink Blue/Black vintage from the early 1960's.

Today (and every day) my workhorse 51 is a 1947 Parker 51 Vacumatic, black and lustraloy, pretty well battered (I call it patina!), with an amazingly smooth wet fine nib, inked with Diamine Onyx Black. Also have a 1945 Vacumatic Major inked with the same color, slightly wider line for signatures and such. I rotate other pens in and out of the office, but these two are always here.

[Penne Stilografiche]

Today I decided to betray my fountain pens and use a French stainless Parker Jotter.

GREEN INK !!! GOOD GRIEF , "M's " cover has been blown ...call 007.

Hah! Today I've got a Parker Vector flighter filled with Organics Studio L. Frank Baum (emerald green). But somehow I don't think that's *quite* the color of ink M would have used....

P75 black lacque with broad italic nib, filled with Diamine Midnight and. P25 in black, italic nib, filled with Delta Green.

Silver Pearl Vac Major with I think an F nib -- with whatever ink was left in the pen (something blue, now somewhat diluted with distilled water). Used that this morning for my journal.

Plum 51 Aerometric (probably M nib) -- diluted Diamine Denim. General shopping list, going through the flyers in the Sunday paper.

Parker Vector Flighter, M nib -- still working with the aforesaid Organics Studio L. Frank Baum, trying to finish up the entry in my ink journal.

The current rotation is a Parker 95. It's fine nib is very wet, so I using turquoise ink. Smooth writing, but

the slender body is less comfortable than I would enjoy.

P75 Black matte, stubbish B-nib, filled with Quink Blue Black

Parker 75 Sterling Silver flat top with 66 nib and Noodler's Midnight Blue. I'm trying to get my Eversharp Skyline pen going. It fills OK but I can only get a very thin, scratchy line out of it if I press hard. I'll have to have it worked on again. I've let it soak for two days but nothing changed.
