What Parker Are You Using This Day? 2018

[KZ900]

[pajaro]

Sonnet Flighter with EF 18K nib and resealed cap.

[hari317]

An orange Canadian Jr Flatop Duofold with a stub nib.

[hari317]

looks lovely, which desk set is it?

[thx1138]

Sterling silver sonnet with broad 18k nib and Graf von faber moss green ink.

[inkstainedruth]

The Plum 51 Demi Aero, newly refilled and back in rotation for the holidays. I don't normally go all matchy-matchy with pen barrel and ink colors (and in fact tend to try to actively *avoid* doing that) --but De Atramentis Aubergine looks SO good coming out of that medium nib!

A day similar to any other, my Aerometric blue 51 is on front line duty, backed up by a cap activated 51 pencil in plum for the occasional crossword

Five 51s aeros with different tip sizes. Broad, extra broad, medium stub, broad stub and oblique broad.

Yes, hari, all were NOS when they came to me. But they are no more so.

 

And all have very special nibs on them.

 

Thank you, hari.

Kahn, would you mind posting a photo of the 51 nibs please?

Yes, will do later after I take picture(s) in good light. It is 2135 hrs now here and was cloudy and foggy all day today with light snowfall.

Very jealous of what you've got, mitto. None of my 51s have anything remotely like exotic nibs (mostly Fs, with a sprinkling of EFs and Ms). I suspect photos will make me even MORE jealous....

Back on topic. Today for me it's a Speedline filler Green Shadow Wave Vac Junior, put back in rotation the end of last week, with De Atramentis Tchaikovsky (Silver Grey).

Hi Mitto,

 

Can you post pictures of the aero 51 stubs and OB nib along with accompanying writing samples? I'm especially interested in seeing the 51 OB. Thank you!

[Jerome Tarshis]

Some other day I'd have a less ordinary answer, but today it's not the most out of the way Parker: a 51 Demi, medium Octanium nib, Pelikan 4001 black.

[inkstainedruth]

Today's Parker was the Plum Demi 51 Aerometric, with De Atramentis Aubergine.

The red color would appropriate and cheer for your style dress these holidays. Please, feel free to choose yours and ask Santa.
