Parker 75 Regency fountain pen (21 July 2024)

Image
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 Wood pen from the 1980s (8 September 2024)

Image
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 Pa...
