Dad’s Parker collection:

[ParkerrekraP]

I was at my Dad’s house last night and we we’re looking his collection!  I always loved to go Pen Hunting with him as a kid.  Thought these would bring some joy the fellow Parker Enthusiast. He knows a good amount about them but you if see any special, call it out.  I’m sure there are some details we don’t know about.

That's a nice collection

It must be so nice to share the fountain pen love with a parent. I do share it with a brother.

That’s an awesome collection! Dads and their penabling, that’s how I got started, too.

That's a super-fine collection!! Really nice, one and all of them.

I would love to go pen hunting with any of my daughters but they have shown no interest in fountain pens.😪

Very nice.

Mod hat on here....

 

I've left this open because we do like to share our pens here, and family is important.  It's a nice bunch of pens!  Look at that gorgeous, big rosewood HR Endura!  But do keep in mind that selling is not permitted in general forums, and the OP doesn't have enough posts to qualify at the lowest level.  Any hint this is crossing over into sales will be reason to close and hide the thread.

My dad is not looking to sell. I only posted here to share and see if there was some info he does not know about.

Very nice pens!

 

Several are not Parker though. As far as I can see, there are also some Conklin, Waterman and Wahl-Eversharp pens.

Welcome ParkerrekraP.

 

I don't know much about Parker, though I do have four 45s (fine, extra fine, accountant and fine italic) carefully collected so they are all from different countries... Thankyou for showing us your Dad's collection.

Thinking about this - my apologies to the OP.   I handled this poorly.  It could have been handled better with a back channel note  rather than a public comment.

I thought FPN was about sharing pen information and helping others.  It is to bad that mostly it is treated as a place to sell, mostly by people that have zero content posts.

 

Same goes for FPG.  Far to much selling by people that provide minimal or no content.

It used to be.  Many of the knowledgeable people who were here at the beginning have either passed on, or have left.  I miss them.

This post is from Amber the Moderator - I've hidden posts that I think do not reflect our goals or violate the rules as clearly stated in our guidelines.

 

• The Fountain Pen Network is primarily a site set up for fountain pen lovers, and for those interested in all things pen related.
• The Fountain Pen Network is run by a few handfuls of volunteers whose aim is to keep The Fountain Pen Network a pleasant, useful, and entertaining site for the pen community.

 

As a moderator, part of what we are trying to do is keep the site friendly and we do that by enforcing the rules.  So many of these threads start with information sharing and meander into sales.  Ron was trying to preemptively remind us about the rules. 

 

Because seriously, those are beautiful pens and who wouldn't want to buy them? But until we have our classified section back, sales are limited to the marketplace.

I think he should enjoy every one of those beautiful pens. I'd love to see close-ups of them.

Oh, yes, PLEASE! That would be absolutely wonderful!

I thought that this thread was about Dad's Parker Collection.

Unless you received a PM about the content of a post, your post did not violate the rules.  Posts that refer to posts that have been hidden will also be hidden.  Hopefully, we can get back on track to see the lovely pen collection.
