    Great video - many thanks. I sill use my 50 year old 45 Flighter all of the time (it can even take modern Lamy cartridges that can be bought easily). Parker has been unjustly forgotten. The old, Parker company (pre 2010) made some great pens, like the 45, 50, 75, Arrow and 95, and Frontier. Please do more Parker videos. A lot of us are interested, especially as you can still buy them on places like Ebay, as they made millions of them.

    As far as I know the Parker 25 was made from 1970 to 1999? I think the brushed steel with orange trim was only made in the year of 1976 and were predominantly sold in United States and some European countries including Germany, Netherlands and Italy? As far as I know the “flat top“ changed to the “dimple top“ in about 1980? In addition to the brushed steel models, are the matte black, white with blue trim, white with black trim (Fountain Pen, Only) and White CT with the 1980’s ‘sporty’ two blue rings under the clip. The odd design, basic and masculine yet elegant and superbly balanced, durable and just as at home clipped onto the breast pocket of pupil or teacher, songwriter or politician, it encapsulated the spirit of the 1970’s with a ‘spacey’ outreach in it’s design charter, and resiliently squared and rounded at once with subtle yet satisfying angles that are tactilely engaging and endlessly re-inviting… today it looks both classic and yet still futuristic somehow… it seems to mourn all that the space race never delivered; like Pan Am passenger shuttles to wheels in orbit and civilian moon bases, and yet still waits optimistically for that which passed us by… so far. I Love The Parker 25, and it’s bravery. It’s oddness amongst other beautiful Sleek and Arrow clipped Parkers… yet it is every bit as much a Parker, as it’s family members! Every Pen collector should have at least one Parker 25!

    Very useful, I hadn't realized there's a more recent jotter; I had the misfortune of getting a Sonnet as one of my first pens, they dry out in no time and put me off fountain pens in general for a time; the 75, 50 and 105 I have are really nice pens.

  • @MartinHsueh

    Thank you for such an interesting video covering a period of the extremely long history of Parker pens. To me growing up, my experience with Parker had always been the Parker Jotter ball point pen. Then after I came of age, I was "lost" in the sense that writing equipment became cheap plastic disposable ball point pens. I have not seen any fine writing instrument ads in magazines or news papers during this period. Everyone else around me also used cheap disposable ball point pens, so I was none the wiser about even the existence of higher quality writing instruments.
    The only exception was the Cross pen & pencil set that my mother gifted me upon my high school graduation. I had always kept the set in my desk, mainly because the pen's ink may have exceeded its shelf life, so its color was faint; and the pencil's lead was 2HB, also appearing as faint on ordinary, thin, cheap paper. One day I must have taken the Cross pen away from my desk, possibly for bank business, and I had forgotten to put it back. Then I could not find it any more! In 2000, I purchased a replacement for it from a Cross dealer, and kept it stored for 20 years.
    Recently, I took that Cross pen out and remembered some on line chatter about how after 2004 Cross had moved its manufacturing to China, so the "vintage" Cross pens, recognized by the Cursive engraving of the Cross brand on the clip. I took out my long stored Cross pen and was puzzled to see it was the more contemporary block lettering CROSS, not the cursive version. So I started to search on Ebay for another replacement, one that would have to be made in Ireland, if it is to match the remaining mechanical pencil in my set.
    It was in my search for a Cross Pen, that I noticed that there are actually fountain pens "still in use"! I thought fountain pens were a thing of the past! Serious! But by searching online, I was pleasantly surprised that they are still in use, and there is a whole industry & user community.
    Naturally I started out by looking for Cross fountain pens, but I quickly found an old friend, Parker! So now I have started collecting a few Parker 45s, as well as other brands, and am having a great time. Thank you again for this very educational video!

The inflection is also one of my favourites and an excellent writer. One thing about the inflection i have not be able to figure out how to remove the nib and feed i wondered if you have ever done that and if so how its done. Finally the Parker 45 is one of the pens i really love and collect , i love the way they write and i think they are one of the best pens Parker ever made. Thank you again for sharing i very much enjoyed seeing your pens.

After that I got another one on the flea market. And the 45? Really a great pen. I thought Parker deserved a video (and here are just the steel ones). There are other Parkers Ihave that also deserve a video. Such as a specific one for my 45 collection, as you suggested before.

    Em relação às Parker 25 (esgotadíssimas), podias ter acrescentado que foi desenhada pelo famoso designer industrial, Sir Kenneth Granger, autor de vários "collectables"...
    Tenho uma, "Made in England", de que não me desfaço por nada deste mundo...
    Bonita coleção.
    Um abraço

      Muito obrigado pelo comentário e por assistir ao vídeo.
      A 25 é realmente uma caneta icónica e tem muitos mais adeptos do que seria de pensar. Tenho de fazer um vídeo exclusivamente sobre o modelo.
      Obrigado pela sugestão da informação extra a colocar nesse futuro vídeo.
