Rediscovered Two Parker 25 Fountain Pens

[Roy_Drage]

Hi Guys, I found my way here after trying to find out a bit more about my pens. I received them as gifts from my Gran in the early eighties. I found them again the other day while looking for something else. I enjoyed searching through the forum and thought you might like to see the pens.

 

Thanks.

LOVE the 25! Highly under-rated pen, but the eBay prices reflect a fair amount of nostalgia for it... I think the nibs are great for all-day writing and the size is so comfortable.

 

That white one goes for much higher prices...so far all I have are the basic flighters. The white, black and other color ones seem to go for quite high sums.

 

Enjoy using them again! You are going to, right?

Hi, I have every intention of giving them a whirl. I didn't know they had any value.

Congrats, nice and reliable pens! Especially the white one looks cool.

I have a basic P25 Flighter and really like it.

Enjoy yours.

Excellent pens and nice writers. Flush them out, fill them up and enjoy them.

Thank you, I'll need to do a bit more research and then I'll be good to go. Cheers.

The white one is quite rare and therefore worth a bit of money assuming it's in good condition and boxed.

Thanks, it was only after doing some research here I realised the white one could be worth money.

(ETA) Roy_Drage!

 

It's good to see the P25 taxonomy we developed in this House finding its way on the net

 

These white P25's seem to be less vulnerable to damage than the black; a better quality of epoxy perhaps. Anyway, Roy_Drage, use them with delight! Great find and thanks for sharing!

The black was pretty hopeless. My black one is looking very badly chewed.

My first black one ended up as a near flighter... black only under the clip

Thanks folks. I'm going to do a bit of clean up, then see how I get on.

Enjoy the pens, I still use my old P25 from the 80's and it keeps on writing.

 

It's Parker's Willy's Jeep: sturdy and reliable!
