I have one for over 6 decades already. Used it during my elementary days/years.
They are great clasic pens, why not use it now and enjoy it. Thanks
Thank you for your video showing me how to clean my sterling silver Parker 75 Cisele pen. It's getting better, but not quite there yet. I also have to thank my daughter Emmy for asking in the first place. I do enjoy watching your videos and am learning a lot. Please keep it up.
Thanks for watching im glad you learn from them. Good luck with you pen
Thanks for this video I found a Parker chisel ball pen in a goodwill store with a nice gold finish and wanted to polish it.
Thats great well done, but go gently on the polish. Good luck
I've had one of these for over four decades and about once a year it gets polished with "Silvo", purpose made for silver, being much finer than its sibling "Brasso". I use a good 'Ha-Ra' micro fibre cloth and there is no problem with dried polish remaining in the grooves.
Thanks for your tip Colin, keep enjoying you pen.
As time for me I saw this video! I'm just waiting for the delivery of Parker 75. I have not yet decided to polish my pen or not, because I really like the patina on silver. I call it a pen with a story. It is always interesting to think about who wrote what with this pen for all the years. And patina on silver is a symbol of this story. Anyway, if I decide to polish, now I know how to do it right. Thank you very much for the video!
Thanks for watching Oleg. It is really personal preference i personally like my pens clean. I also understand some people prefer to have a patina to the pen. Which ever you prefer enjoy your pen.
@@penkino1 Thanks for the answer! Many best wishes from Ukraine!
No problem, say hello to Ukraine for me.
Another video straight to the point with a lot of common sense advice. Keep the vids coming!
Thank you Zigman for your comments.
Thank you for the video! I've now watched it twice. I watched, then figured my mom should see it, too, so I played it for her. . 😁👍
I hope it was helpful Emmy, good luck with your pen.
Thank you Stef . What a difference , initially i thought the pen looked quite clean but seeing the before and after , wow what a difference.
They tend to oxidize when not used so a clean now and then helps.
No way to see the whole video in normal speed... 1.5 works. Thanks for all the info! I just found a set of pen, fountain pen and pencil in my father's drawer.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your father's pen.
@@penkino1 i try my best... it is really filthy inside. Especially the bag. ill take your advice and leave it on warm water for a couple of hours. thanks again!
You can only do your best, so well done. Just be carefull with water regarding metal parts. Good luck.
Cleaned a friend's Cisele last week. What you did is pretty much what I did. Glad I didn't muck it up! :) It was her grandfather's. He recently passed around age 100 and they found a box of pens, erasers, etc. that sat for years and looked pretty rough. Erasers sort of melted. There was mold, bugs, ... I did a basic cleaning of a few of them. Nothing special, just soaking to remove ink and a bit of polishing plastic and silver. Also made the faux leather carrying case that looked rather rough look much better. (Used baseball mitt glove oil to re-moisturize & shoe polish to add some color to areas that were worn away) The friend almost cried after seeing the pens look much nicer.
I saw one person using toothpaste to clean a pen. Do you think that's a bad or OK practice?
Sounds like you did a good job, and nice to hear your freind was happy with them. I only use toothpaste to remove old embeded ink on gold nibs, i would not use it on the rest of the pen. Good luck.
Are the tassies gold plated like the clip, or are they in silver finish? Difficult to see in the video. Thanks
They're gold plated. Be very careful cleaning them.
@fluffia89 Yes they are gold plated. Thanks
@steventrosiek2623 Thank you for you imput.
I did the same with a Swarovski jewelry cloth but it is not shining at al, Opposite way now its like i rubbed the shining look of, what can i do to restore it?
A jewelers cloth will clean then a clean cloth will polish the pen. Good luck
What type of camera are you using for your videos?
The images and ability to render details in closeup is amazing.
Also is your filming area lit with reflective spots or what?
I use an old Sony Cyber-Shot and currently looking to upgrade it. The auto focus it a little slow which i am not happy with. I use three daylight lights. Cheers Charlie.
Thank you, Stef.
Thank you for watching Anzan.
thank you for this useful video, can you make another video on how to spot a fake Parker 75 Cisele sterling silver fountain pen?
Im not quite sure they made any fake 75 Cisele pens. Thanks
Stef I own a Parker Sonnet black lacquer finished which has some minor scratches. Please tell me how should I clean as well as polish it? Please advice
If the lacquer is scratched or chipped then there is not a lot you can do with it. As far as polishing pens then take a look at my "How to polish a pen" video. Good luck with your pen.
Thank you Stef
Thanks for your videos, they are always interesting - even the simple ones!
I have a problem with the clutch in the cap of my 75 Cisele. One of the tines is bent and catches the nib and section. Do you have a video that covers removing the clutch?
I need to reshape the clutch. I am guessing it involves removing the jewel.
Thanks for watching. The clutch can be replaced but can be a little tricky for a novice. Yes the top of the cap (jewel) needs to be removed while inserting a dowel inside to stop the inner cap turning. The older models have a metal clutch with fingers the later model had a plastic inner cap/clutch. By the way the tines are the tips of the nib. Good luck with it.
@@penkino1 Thanks for the tip. It is a 1966 model and I am pretty sure the clutch is spring metal. Would the dowel need a slot or groove in it?
You should be able to see the fingers in the cap. Just a round dowel will do just to stop the inner cap rotating. Use rubber to grip the cap jewel, be careful not to mark it. Good luck.
@@penkino1 Excellent. Thanks again for the pointers and also the videos!
I will let you know how it goes.
Good luck with it.
Prezado amigo, eu coleciono moedas de prata e para limpar as muito antigas e oxidadas deixo-as numa solução de água com bicarbonato de sódio bem concentrado por pelo menos 24 horas. A prata fica limpa sem necessidade de usarmos nada abrasivo nela , a não ser a ponta dos dedos. Experimente e verá como é eficiente o processo. Abraços !
Thanks for the tip Joao. But in this case we do not want to remove the black lines in the pattern. Thank you for watching.
@@penkino1 OK !!!
Thanks
Always glad to see your videos in my notifications list!
Like SKWDiesel1, I have a question about my 75 Cisele, as well. The cap doesn't securely stay on the barrel any longer. There is no noticeable gap when the cap is on, but when you turn the cap slightly, you can feel that it loosens and is no longer secure. At that point, it can easily come off inadvertently. It works fine sitting on my desk, but I'm not comfortable carrying it in this state. Do you have any advice on addressing this kind of problem?
Thank you for watching. It sounds like it has a worn clutch especially if it is the later plastic inner cap/clutch. See my reply to SKWDiesel1. Good luck.
@@penkino1 Thank you! I'll take a look and follow your advice.

That’s gold, not silver.
Probably gold plate.
Ok thanks for the info.
a pencil eraser works well
I will try that joe, thanks for the tip.
Interesting video, must get mine out and give it a quick rub over.
Thank's Tony, yes they need a good clean now and again. So go for it.
@@penkino1 Have a good Christmas and a happy and healthy 2020
Thanks Tony, and to you and your family. All the best.
