What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[mitto]

Yep. Standard for the Juniors.

...and for the Victory too.

But of course!

I love the English aero Duofolds. These generally have generous tipping on the nibs and are super soft and even flexy writers. I have been collecting them for a while in all sizes. Slimfolds (#5 nibs), juniors, Victories (#10 nibs), Demis (#15 nibs), Standards (#25 nibs) and Seniors (#35 nibs). I have all in almost all colors except the monster one.

 

Have yet to come across a Maxima (#50 nib).

I used a Parker 45 with a B nib today. It works very well with Diamine Damson, which is growing on me.

 

I like Slimfolds, too. Yesterday, I wrote a letter with one. But I do have one that has something of a flexy nib, like Mitto says.

I don't know why I keep so many Parkers inked at a time? Perhaps I am Parker crazy.

 

Today's lot. Lol.

The lowly Parker 45 looks good in any company. It always surprises me how smart the 45 is.

I don't subscribe to the idea of P45 being a lowly creature especially when it is in the flighter attire and with a 14k M/B/R/Y/S or other unusual nib.

Have yet to come across a Maxima (#50 nib).

Last week, I've been one click away from buying a gorgeous blue Maxima. It was relatively cheap - £120 (most recent offers are in the £140-150 ballpark). Ordered a broad-nibbed P51 instead.

Hasn't this one gone relatively cheap?

Khan, thanks.

I chanced upon a lucky find: a striped Duofold Junior pen and pencil set (c. 1940-45?) in a gift box. I am not sure, but I think Parker called this color style "Dusty Red." True?

 

 

The nib is not a real flex, but it does have some give that allows for a bit of line variation.

No pictures but a gold nibbed 45 I snagged off ebay for a song.

[mitto]

It is black beauties turn today. The gold cap one is USA made with fine nib while the the one with lustaloy cap is Englande made with broad nib. Graceful. Aren't they?
