Vintage fountain pen

I have always wanted to find the German made limited edition Parker Wood pen. In 1980 Parker in Germany produced a large (143 mm) wood limited edition pen with a huge stylised clip. There were eight different wood finishes offered and they were sold in numbered boxes made from the same wood as the pens. There were meant to be made 2 000 numbered pens of each wood, but there seems to have been objections from Parker in the US and production was haltered, so no-one really knows how many pens were shipped. Also some were clearly shipped without the number on the pens, or in the boxes. The cap had a very large gold coloured, wooden clip in the shape of an arrow that protruded from the top of the cap.  Perhaps one of the strangest designs of a Parker pen, some finishes are considered very rare. This jumbo pen reminds me of the early Parker Giant.  As a fountain pen collector, I really like the fountain pen design as it really aimed to break away from the norm like the early Parker Days with

Parker 75 Regency fountain pen, more commonly known as the "Rainbow" 75, 18K gold-filled barrel and cap is perhaps the rearest Parker 75 pens. It was a very complicated and difficult manufacturing process that resulted in many rejects, and in turn, an excessive manufacturing cost. This gave way to a very short product life. Beside this Parker 75 Rainbow, there is another Parker 61 Rainbow. Parker 75 Design and Features: - The Parker 75 featured the distinctive "Sterling Cicelé" grid pattern, which was created by cutting a grid into the sterling silver body and then staining the grooves black. - It had a triangular grip section, similar to the design of the Lamy Safari, which provided a comfortable and ergonomic writing experience. - Other notable design elements included the gold-plated trim and the iconic Parker arrow clip. Parker 75 Variants and Materials: - Beyond the standard Sterling Cicelé model, Parker produced the 75 in a variety of other materials and finis

This is a special Parker #34 as the colour is a unusual orange colour with filigree. The pen is not mine but photos are from a famous auction sites.

My first love hobby has always been vintage pen collection.  The Parker Filigree eyedropper fountain pen was a popular model produced by the Parker Pen Company in the early to mid-20th century. You're correct that the majority of these pens featured a black hard rubber body. The Parker Filigree was known for its distinctive decorative metalwork, or filigree, that was overlaid on the pen's barrel. This filigree work was often made of a precious metal like gold or silver, which contrasted nicely with the black hard rubber material used for the main body of the pen. Hard rubber was a common material for vintage fountain pen construction during this era. It provided a durable, practical, and affordable alternative to more expensive materials like solid gold or celluloid. The black color was also a popular and classic aesthetic choice for fountain pens of this time period. The classic Parker Filigree eyedropper fountain pen is widely recognized by its black hard rubber body accented
