Today I used a black Parker 51 Aero, with Parker Quink Black ink, paired with a black Jotter 0.5 mm pencil.

Parker Vector Premium with Washable Black Quink.

[inkstainedruth]

A Parker Vector with an italic F nib, from the four-nib set I picked up a while back on Ebay. Decided a couple of days ago that I really need to try playing with the set, so I got the nibs and converter flushed out, and inked up the pen with the smallest nib installed: Organics Studio Potassium. Definitely an improvement over the Vector with a standard F nib that I put the ink in yesterday: the broader nib brings out the color better and gives a bit more depth (as well as some shading that I wasn't getting before).

This weeks go to work pens are all in black. P51 Ballpoint pen and pencil set. Jotter set from the 60's

[Tom Aquinas]

Just had to sign a letter and the first pen handy on my desk was a 1953 Burgandy Parker 51 with a B 14ct nib and a stainless cap, filled with the ubiquitous Parker Quink Blue Black ink ( my daily writers were still in my coat pocket).

 

Edit: For particularisation, a UK 51.

Parker 51 Kullock Fantasy Centenial Blue with hammered gold cap and Dromgooles special Noodlers Blue Steel ink.

[Jerome Tarshis]

Oh, all right: an Aero 51 with a medium 14K nib. Nothing very rare about that configuration. What gives the pen meaning in my pen-using life is that I bought it in 2002 from Mike McConnell, he sent me an email saying, among other things, "You are going to love this pen," he was right, and I went from owning one fountain pen earlier in 2002 to owning, let us say, quite a few more. After me, the deluge, the pen might have said to me, echoing the words of Louis XIV.

 

My present opinion is that all of that craziness, not least Parker 51 craziness, is now over. There are, however, several pens, including Parker 51s, that I wonder if I'd really like. Sadly, or happily, I know only one way to find out. But I am not going to do it, I say right here in front of an entire community. Peer pressure will keep me from buying another pen. Definitely not another Parker pen.

A Duofold Centennial Pearl & Grey, made in 2000, with fine nib and filled with Aurora blue. I got this pen yesterday and found it on Ebay. I was sold as absolutely new and unused and this was true. Stunning colour! A perfect addiction to my Centennial Black & Pearl from 1999.

Parker Reflex Green with Waterman Harmonie green

[Ishinho]

1. My very first (but not my last) Parker Vacumatic (1939 black major from Canada), filled with Quink blue black ink. Very smooth medium and quite flexy! Tons of fun to write with.

 

2. My very second Parker Vacumatic (1940 silver pearl from Canada), filled with Diamine Presidential Blue ink. Nice fine point, also with lots o' flex to it.

 

I just got these pens yesterday, so I'm just learning how to fill a vacumatic pen (my two 51s are both aerometric, but I keep meaning to pick up a vac filler. So much fun I'm having a hard time concentrating on work.

Yummy !!

[Tom Aquinas]

Whilst I am using another pen today, I still reached into the Parker drawer for a pen with a darker stain of ink for an important document and pulled out a 2nd Gen Ciselle .985 silver Sonnet with an M nib and filled with Quink Blue Black.
