What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[mitto]

Sonnet gold lustre and Frontier flighfer GT.

[Runnin_Ute]

1953 P51 Special fine

[Ceelo]

For work today, a 75 Cisele with EF nib and Pelikan Tanzanite. Glorious.

[Cryptos]

[Durham K]

Rotating P25 stainless steel and a gifted P51 both with Diamine Red Dragon ink. Black P25 and P45 (lovely fine gold nib) Quink blue. This almost makes marking in a holiday less of a chore.

I'm using a newly revived Parker Parkette Deluxe. It's a beater, but writes well, and has a unique sort of charm to it. I'll try to post a pic later.

Pardon a perhaps naive question ... but is that a stock Parker 45? Or a chimera with a custom barrel?

[Cryptos]

It's a custom 45 made by Ariel Kullock. The nib, section and cap are all standard, and the body is the customized bit.

[OcalaFlGuy]

Very nice David and it seems to also be writing quite nicely.

Thanks Bruce, it is quite smooth even though it is not a gold nib. After giving away the other 45 in PIF, a 51 demi to Octatonic and a 51 Vac to GaryW, I'm down to my last 3 or 4 Parkers. Whether I end up keeping any of them is debatable. Although the ones I have do write nicely, albeit without any real nib character.

British post-war Duofold Senior, one of my recent acquisitions. Truly a buttery smooth nib,

definitely a pen I will be keeping in the rotation for a long time to come.

[mitto]

A 1953 Parker 51 aero burgundy and a baby English Duofold (slimfold) .

[Mike 59]

Use this Frontier several times a week, never fails to write first time, very ordinary medium steel nib, but very smooth with all the inks I've tried.

 

[Ceelo]

Black 51 Aerometric filled with Parker Quink Black...of course

[TeaHive]

I just got a wet noodle Parker Moderne, formerly a translucent cream with red streaks and now rather discolored to reddish-brown, off eBay. This thing can FLEX. But it seems the feed can't quite keep up all the time. Even unflexed, it's a juicy medium stub. I am in love!

[mitto]

Parker 25 flighter and Parker Frontier. Inked with Pelikan 4001 blue and Dollar green respectively.

[JotterAddict62]

Parker Jotter mechanical twist pencil. Sure not going to use a FP on the woodworking project to mark my measurements before I cut the wood.

[farmdogfan]

This nice fat danish oversize duofold, with blue quink.

 

[Eduardo]

Striped Duofold button filler

[peterg]

Not done much writing today, but it was with a pair of Canadian streamline ladies chaterlaine Duofolds. One in jade and the other in what I think was pale green, now largely faded to brown on the barrel, dark brown and gold fleck.

 

Both are fine to medium and produce a similar pleasing line when writing.

 

Don't normall use such small pens but they so pleasant.
