[mitto]

A nice P65. A typical English broad nib with generous tipping material. Waterman south sea blue ink.

 

It is a real joy writing with this pen.

Fixed up a green marbled 1937 Parkette last night with a new sac. The nib was trashed, so I modified a Pilot EF nib to put into it, just like my other Parkette.

 

This green one is missing its cap bands, has a couple hairline cracks and a chip on the cap lip, and the end of the pen has a small warped bulge. So it's not the prettiest pen. But I like it anyway. It has character.

An English Duofold marriage between a 35 and a 50, with an English Parker medium nib. Parker red quink.

I did finally add the short feather clip, its pouched and does seem like a good marriage. do we need to post a photo of the pen like we used too>>>????

Whoooaaaa! A double broad stub P51! Nice!

[Mangrove Jack]

My grand mum's 50 year old Parker 61. Fine nib (I think) with Pilot blue ink.

[inkstainedruth]

Parker Vector, F nib, with R&K Documentus Hellblau -- an ink I'm starting to like a lot (although it does have a fair amount of spread, it's pretty well behaved otherwise, and doesn't seem to clog up the pen at all).

What makes it a "For Men" pen? I've got a 1941 Laidtone in this color and while I've marked in my inventory that it's a "For Men", there's nothing that I see about it that's overly masculine (maybe the green or brown color models, but not the blue, particularly). Heck, at the moment I've got J Herbin Rose Tendresse in it and that's probably about as girly as it gets....

Is it that it has a clip (i.e., as opposed to being a ringtop)? And that question now has me wondering whether Parker ever made these as ringtops....

So, what's the nib on yours?

 

So, back on topic....

Today I used a number of Parkers.

One was the aforementioned Blue Laidtone, for some random notes to myself; it's got an OF or OM nib on it that is *also* semi-flex -- yeah, on a Parker -- who knew?

Additional pens:

Parker 45, OM nib -- diluted Iroshihzuku Tsuki-yo (for writing in my journal this AM).

Parker 41, M (?) nib -- Quink Black (more notes to myself)

Parker 45 M nib -- De Atramentis Robert Louis Stevenson (for balancing my checkbook)

Parker Vector F nib -- R&K Documentus Hellblau (for writing checks to pay bills).
