Parker 45 Yellow

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I recently bought a yellow colored Parker 45 fountain pen.

 

I never saw a yellow one before. Do you know more about it? Is it a common colour? Are there many outside?

 

Sorry for the bad photo, it's from the seller. Pen is still in the mail.

 

Regards,

daffie

Nice looking pen. I don't have any of the so-called "happy" colors (mine are black, dark blue and burgundy/red). I'm not a fan of yellow pens particularly (I have a couple of Arnolds) but I like yours (and I like 45s in general).

What's the nib supposed to be on it? And does it have the original squeeze filler?

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

Today I received the pen. It is brand new and still in its box, complete with a Parker Jotter ballpoint pen in the same color.

 

The set is English made. On the fountain pen are still the chalk marks: ''45'' STUDENT M.

 

In real the color is lovely!

I am looking for a yellow and a pink 45. Perhaps both are somewhat uncommon colors and dont often come up for sale.

Hi,

 

I finally got time to make some pictures of the set.

I hope you like it.

Looks like an "octanium" (steel) F nib. There should be a nib code on the bottom of the nib unit, visible just by turning the pen over.

 

I'd be interested in whether there is a squeeze converter fitted, and if so, whether it still works properly.

That and some more interesting colors do exist. Beside some exotic nibs on this otherwise modest Parker pen.

How uncommon is the deep (almost blackish) forest? green, the light blue and the metador red 45s?

 

I know that the pink and orange , like the yellow, are not so common.

Good for you, Daffie. Does it write well?😀👻

Thank you all for the replies. I am happy that I'm not the only one who loves this set!

I paid 12 Euros for it, that's not too much, I think. It is brand new, the fountain pen is never inked. The chalk marks are still on the barrel.

I think I will not ink it up, but will keep it in its mint condition, so I don't know if it writes well.

 

The nib is a 'M' and there is no convertor inside. The set is 'Made in England'.

Yes, I found it in the Netherlands.

 

How common are these yellow Jotters? Do you see them often?

 

Regards,

daffie
