no wonder I've been using Parker pens since my high school years,,, and that's over 30 years ! and still using and buying ..... Long live Parker Pens !
Would never trade a Parker Jotter for Mont Blanc or any other brand name however sound and prestige their name may be. The blue color, democratic price, ease of use and the light weight. Had one since the high school. I think it's timeless and indestructible. The existence of Jotter is perhaps one of the main reasons I write anything with a pen and not computer alone in this digitized age. If it wasn't for Parker pen I doubt I would ever need the experience of writing in the age of computers. This pen also trains your handwriting in a disciplinary way. My precioussssssss.
I love my 149 but for special occasions, well let's get real, I bring out my vacumatic parker 51. My father loved his so much he named me after the brand.
My parents only used Parker 51s. I had my mother’s 51 from 1958 which I recently gave to my Niece to use. I also had my dad’s 1958 51 desk set which my son now has. Both still write beautifully. I have a 75 ciscell (?). I purchased while in the US army in 1972. It has a dent in the cap, but it’s a beautiful writer, so smooth.

I taught the arrow logo comes from the shape of the Parker Jotter refills. Because the tip looks like an arrow head and the blue plastic on the top looks like feathers. But the arrow clip is older than the jotter… Is it only my mind that’s blowing up right now, or is this a new Mandela effect??
Is really one of my most collected pens......from the Doufold Jotter Insignia Sonnet to the Centennial. ....reluctant to use for more then 40 yrs...do not know why? Mmm.....Happy Anniversary.....doesn't matter where is make...Keep up to beginning Parkers is our wishes .For the best... Tq
My MOST favourite pen .... Parker Calligraphy... since my primary school days. Even though original Company sadly closed down, in the Newhaven, UK. But brand name is still alive, and doing well, only trouble is, their Calligraphy range exists in Vector range instead of most classic ranges. Vector range proven to got bust at threading area where ink cartridge shelter unit connect to nib unit, after extensive usage and end up broken pen. I wouldn't mind spending decent amount for the Parker pen with 1.5mm or 2.0mm Calligraphy nib. Now a days I am end up doing DIY with Parker IM series with Vector 1.5mm Calligraphy nib. Wish Parker should make pen interchangeable nibs provided choice of nib.
The quality of Parker pens went right down the tubes once the company left Janesville. Especially the Jotter. My Janesville made Jotter is a pleasure to write with but all the modern Jotters may as well be considered disposable.
You can buy used Parker pens with original parts still in perfect working order. I've two Parker 51 pens and a Slimfold at the moment but buying more old pens as I write this...
I barely dared to use my PARKER 5TH Ingenuity Black Rubber CT, mostly have it displayed in my pen case along with my other pens. At room temperature or air-conditioned, the rubber has melted and it feels sticky and it's very smelly. I've sent it to Parker Singapore and even their service centre can't fix this - the rubber just keeps disintegrating. Can Parker head office help?
我的祖父也有一只派克51，现在我也在使用新的派克。在中国这个国家，派克仿佛见证了他的发展。My grandpa has a Parker 51 too.I am also using Parker.Parker seems to have witnessed the development of China.Thinks Parker.
Everyone has those pens during the old days treasure it to your son or loved one and tell them who gave it to you and it's time to tell them pass it to their son as well it's a legacy of a multi family who used that pen
I had picked up a Parker Urban Fountain pen a couple of months ago from WHSmith when they were selling them for £15 GBP. It's a great writer and I love pairing it with the Blue Black ink.
Im a parker pen user for past many years ....but past many years the pens Jotters ball pen tend to be low quality... Tend to skip lines and has to put more pressure to write and some dry up if not used for a few weeks .. kindly look into quality of parker pens made in India.
But at the same time, if you have the $$ and patent the idea and at the right time, your basically guaranteed $$ for the future ? Especially if you have already made a name for yourself, which includes a lot of hard work proving yourself, these days its all mass produced, even in france, which is all shipped overseas, i still have my parker pens which were made in England ?
I want to convey the fact that parker pens in india are made of substandard quality and overpriced. The pens sold in india are not sold outside India. The collection of pen models are disrepute to the prestige of parker brand. Parker in india must upgrade it's product range and lower the price to remain a premium pen brand.
I own a number of vintage Parker fountain pens, but the newer genus (apart from the Centennial) are poorly constructed, & posess a shorter lifespan. I note from other commentators that they consider this brand to be the ultimate; I'd have to disagree - but at the same time, I do not decry those early models - they were solidly built. It is a shame that such prominence no longer delivers that original quality...
