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.
Thank you so much for watching and I am sorry for replying only now. I agree. Parker is/was a great brand and should have more visibility. I'll try to make more Parker videos.
Very interesting video. I think you still miss some from your collection or from that video, some modern and some vintage models. Anyway great video!!! Very useful and very informative!
Thank you for watching. This is my collection of steel Parkers. I miss many, I think. And I may have a few more since I made this video. I wish I had one of each to be able to make a full and complete video.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita Don't worry, it's the most complete Parker steel collection i have ever seen. I like that kind of videos that compare different models from the same company and videos that compare models from different companies that look alike each other.
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!
Thank you so much for sharing your deep love and knowledge about the 25. Everytime I find one at low price I buy it. Last time was this current year, at the flea market, a Steel 25 with black plastic parts. Great pen for 5€!
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.
Interesting, because I have an early Sonnet as my daily carry. It's never dried out on me. I've heard reports of varying quality. Looks like this was sadly true and I just got lucky.
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!
Thank you for sharing your pen history. Parker is for sure one of the brands I like the most. And now there is such a revival of the use of fountain pens and a lot of videos online to help us have other people's opinions and the lastest news on pens. It is an amazing community, in my opinion. I am glad you liked this video and I hope you found useful!
Thanks, that was a lot of fun. This is one of the brands I grew up with, so I had a few of these pens. I stil use the 65 which is a fantastic writer, and a new jotter which is also a fantastic pen.
Thanks for your comment. I was afraid this video was a little bit too long. For many years, for me and the people of my family, Parker was the brand of reference. I confess I don't like the Jotter that much, but the 65 is a fantastic pen and I have a few of them, of different finishes.
You have a very nice Parker collection! My late father had a P75 Cisele, a P180, P45 ballpoint and 2 Parker pens i didn't know until you pointed out that they were 25's! Design wise, they were beautiful, but quality wasn't so good. They write exceptionally smoothly. Got them all restored.
Whereas nowadays cheap Chinese pens seem to be more popular, it is nice to see your overview of a well reputed and as you say underestimated brand like Parker.
Yes, I really believe Parker is underestimated nowadays. I must confess that I am one of those people who get some cheap chinese pens with enthusiam. But I cannot forget Parker history and how much the brand contributed to the evolution of fountain pens. I have lots of Parker pens. and I am feeling I should make more videos about it. There are some amazing pens made by them.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita Unfortunately my Frontier recently has fallen on the floor, straight on it's nib. Seems that the price of a new nib is about the same as a new pen (27 euros).
Wow so much collection of rare parker pens. At 6:11 the pen you showed parker 45. In India this pen is available as "Parker galaxy" but they changed it to roller ball. Looks cool and I have one. Also the parker ladies classic pen is still here but they have transformed it into a ballpoint. Parker vector and frontier are also manufactured here. Thank you. 🙏
Very Nice video. I have my Father pen collection and he liked so much the Parker pens and the Ink lasts forever ( I have one that still Works after 20 years). I have a Parker 51, a Parker 45 and a Parker that I don't know the name but it's all in steel and the point it's resembles an Arrow ( watched and know I know that Is Parker 180, thanks Very much), I like this pen Very much because it's so unique. Did you used the Parker ingenuity? I'am very curious about It.
Thanks. I got that box/case some years ago for a very low price. I think it is a very nice box to display some of my Parker pens. Unfortunately it is not enough for them all. I need to review more of those!
Thank you very much for the video! I have learned some interesting facts about some models similar to yours from my collection. Where did you find Parker's box? I have one that is exactly the same.
Thank you. I got it in a store in Lisbon. I think it was some box they had when they sold Parkers and decided to sell the box at some point. And I bought it!
Thank you for doing this video . I love Parker pens and have many of the ones you have shown . Your collection is very nice and the green 25 is very rare , i do have the blue version . 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.
I never rremoved the nib of the Infllection. But I may try it and then let you know if I figure it out. About the green 25, I bought it new, here in Lisbon, in a store, some years ago. 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. If you have any other suggestion for videos, please let me know and I will try to make it!
I love this metal pen collection I have Parker normal plastic fountain pen but you have so much of pen and how did you get it I think it is more costly pen

I watched it. I think it is the best design of that family of pens, in which I would include the Arrow, the Vector, the Rialto, the 95, Inflection and maybe some model else that I do not recall right now.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita I love the Parkers that only ran for a few years. The 105 being one of them. A couple of my other favorites are the B-5, Itala, and the Shorty. They may not be the most desirable to many collectors or the most appealing but I enjoy the obscure models. I also love prototype models. But overall I enjoy anything Parker.
Thanks to you I finally find the name of that weird, beautifull, and comfortable pen I have: the 50, and searching I found that I can sold it for some nice money (on my country)... But it hurts to think on sold it, even if i'm actually really poor.
After watching this I decided to buy the Jotter 2018, of which I was unaware of. The previous version was too thin for me, but this one is just ok sizewise and comes with a nice M nib. My good old stainless steel Frontier now has good company!
You did! Great! It is not my favourite pen but it does what it is meant to and is quite inexpensive. And yes, it is much better then the previous version. I will make soon a review of this new Parker Jotter. And maybe even a comparison video between the two. It is nice to see people still buyin Parker pens!
I own few Parkers (well, much fewer pens than you by lightyears) and the ones I own are all inexpensive, I have not felt the motivation to get into the upmarket Parker range. But they all write very reliably and could put to shame some of my pens that are in the upmarket area.
@@tomasgimenez3199 I agree. And many, as the discontinued Parker 45 can still be found in new or very good condition for a very low price and it is a great pen!
An addition after a few days with it: this is the only pen I own I can leave uncapped on my desk for 30 minutes and will still write straight away. I am impressed, very practical pen.
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.

Thanks to you I finally find the name of that weird, beautifull, and comfortable pen I have: the 50, and searching I found that I can sold it for some nice money (on my country)... But it hurts to think on sold it, even if i'm actually really poor.
Glad to help. Sometimes we need to agree the pens are just pens... Sometimes there are other survival needs that become much more important.
Bela colecção. Reconheci-lhe o sotaque e fui ver o blogue. Está porventura localizado em Lisboa?
Boa noite. Obrigado. Sim, estou.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita mas tem alguma papelaria? qual o contexto da sua paixão por 'instrumentos de escrita'?
Não, não tenho. Sou apenas um utilizador e colecionador de canetas e afins. E, partindo daí criei primeiro o blog e depois o canal de UA-cam.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita tenho que explorar mais o canal. só me tenho dedicado a aprender mais sobre canetas, recentemente
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita adquiri a nova colecção da Parker de arquitectura Londrina
After watching this I decided to buy the Jotter 2018, of which I was unaware of. The previous version was too thin for me, but this one is just ok sizewise and comes with a nice M nib. My good old stainless steel Frontier now has good company!
You did! Great! It is not my favourite pen but it does what it is meant to and is quite inexpensive. And yes, it is much better then the previous version. I will make soon a review of this new Parker Jotter. And maybe even a comparison video between the two. It is nice to see people still buyin Parker pens!
I own few Parkers (well, much fewer pens than you by lightyears) and the ones I own are all inexpensive, I have not felt the motivation to get into the upmarket Parker range. But they all write very reliably and could put to shame some of my pens that are in the upmarket area.
@@tomasgimenez3199 I agree. And many, as the discontinued Parker 45 can still be found in new or very good condition for a very low price and it is a great pen!
An addition after a few days with it: this is the only pen I own I can leave uncapped on my desk for 30 minutes and will still write straight away. I am impressed, very practical pen.
@@tomasgimenez3199 So glad you are happy with your purchase...
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.
