Beautiful!

 

Thanks, Carguy.  The more I look at the nib, the more I think it’s really a Stub, rather than a BB.

I don’t know if I showed this or not. This is a 1927 Parker Doufold, Wet Noodle….needs a new sac and the push button polished up.

I don’t think I showed this before. At a live auction, it had a start price of €150, and that is my max for a single pen. I expected it to go higher…but this is Germany and Parker is not as collected as other brands. I had my eye on a different lot of pens….

It didn’t get a bid, so we e-mailed the auction house and got it for the start price.

That ’94 Fire Dance Sonnet is working just fine. Second pen from the right.

This is the pen lot I bid on instead of that Doufold. The big 18k MB nib is display only; no slit, no tipping.

This is something else my wife picked up dirt cheap at an estate sale. The Pelikan 200 was in the Parker pen & ink box. After weeks of replenishing the J P flush, the ink window of the Pelikan 200 is still tinged red.

But that is a half a bottle of Penmann Ruby…more a burgundy in color, that I like.

I’d rather it had been Emerald, but it’s great as it is.

Beautiful New Duofold there.  Does the “7” mean 1947 or 1957?

I have always liked these pens because my initials are MID.

Thank you. Apart from having been inked the pen is as clean as a whistle.

 

The year is 1957.

That's handy - you could both save yourself the personalization cost and avoid incurring the wrath of those who dislike engravings on pens if you should decide to move a MID pen on in due course....

Got this interesting Parker 100 which is marked as "SAMPLE" but is fully funtional.

🤩 Gorgeous! Your pictures are my favorite. The black cap is so distinctive, the whole look gives off formalwear vibes.

  So here’s better photos of the orange tassie flighter 45. I definitely think it’s an aftermarket add on, as the construction of the tassie is different, and the piece looks very different- more solid than extruded. Stewart had several pens from Kullock and friends (Maurizio (sp) and others) available for sale around September, so I think it’s part of that group of pens. In the picture is an Argentine Insignia and a US plastic barreled 45 for comparison.

 

  Here are the ends pictured, the orange has an outie while the others have a more dish like end.

 

  Here’s a side view, where the difference in shape is obvious.

 

   I really like it, and know what I may try if I run into any 45s with broken tassies. I wonder if there are orange sections available? 

 

 

 

Thanks for letting me try your accountant Parker!

That is a good nib for this model.

I have found F nib on my P100 being too dry...

A good old black vac…

🙂

I’m not a Parker expert, it looks like a Senior maxima to me.
