Parker 75 Cross Hatch Grid pattern fountain pen also known as the Cisele in sterling silver and in the original case with instructions,converter and a ink cartridge. It was made in the USA circa 1964 with the flat tassies and a Parker 14k 585 USA nib. A absolute superb example in as new condition.
I have had mine for53 years. I use it all the time. I really love it! It has terrific memories attached to it. It was my 21st birthday gift from my sister. Any major documents in my life have been signed with it. It is one of the few things in my life that I fear ever losing.
Wow thats a long time Charles, nice to know it is being used and cherished. Enjoy it.👍
With valuable memories it is more expensive one!
The 75 is a wonderful pen, and I've been collecting them since my first sterling Cisele in 1970. With proper use and care, these iconic pens will give a lifetime's service and pleasure.
Still one of my favorites! I got one set when I graduated from high school in 1974.
Yes a great iconic pen, nice to hear you still have yours from high school. Enjoy it.
I had a Parker 75 Ships Treasure Pen, complete with box and certificate, that had never been inked. I also had the original sales receipt showing my uncle had paid $35 for it in 1965. I say HAD because it was destroyed along with my home during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I managed to dig it out of the mud and toxic water, but it was badly damaged. I found a Parker 75 collector online and gave it to him. The ship from which the silver was obtained went down in a hurricane. My pen went down in a second hurricane. Losing all my fountain pens to Katrina was heartbreaking.
+karodora O dear, that is quite a story. I hope you have managed to rebuild everything along with some new pens. Good luck with everything.
Indeed heart breaking, and condolences. So much time, money, and devotion goes into building a collection. It is very depressing to think about. Hopefully you had some insurance and have begun to rebuild your collection.
A bit late to the party, but just wanted to thank you for this video. I recently inherited my Grandmother's Cisele; it was the only pen I ever remember her using, so I was delighted when my father gave it to me. A quick polish, new converter, fresh bottle of Quink and it was ready to go. I'm an artist and have been a pen nerd my whole life--I have never used a fountain pen this good. I was happy to find your video and learn more about it. Mine seems to date to 1964 (the only difference between mine and yours is the lack of hallmark on the barrel--I suspect this was done because yours was sold in the UK?). This pen would have been precious to me regardless, but I appreciate the information in the video that presents the various subtle nuances. Thank you again.
Hi Elizabeth. Thats great to hear that you have your Grandmother's pen and that you are using it and enjoying it. Well done and thank you for your comments.
Thank you for your brilliant video. I came across your video when doing research before I bought the Parker 75. Thanks to you I was confident with my purchase and I now am the proud owner of a Parker 75 Fountain pen and Ballpoint pen and with your video I was able to date mine to the 70's.. Thank you so much!!
Thats excellent Sharon, im glad the video was helpfull. Enjoy the pen. Stay safe.
The '65' is a code for the nib grade. It shows it to be a fine point. First year pens had metal threads and a notch in the tassie for the clip, rather than the notch being in the cap itself, as your pen does. Great pen, fun to see the unboxing.
Rob Morrison Thanks for the information, and for watching.
Oh that's interesting so one with a gap-notch in the tassie for the clip is earlier??
Are you sure?
@@downo This is what the Parker 75 experts told me at pen shows, back when pen shows happened. 🥺
@@vintagewriting, very useful to know in that case! Thank you for sharing this insight. I tried purchasing a set from Ebay and it checked all the marks of an older Parker 75 that I knew of so I just bought it, then I bumped into your comment.
Sad it won't be a first year parker, but even then, it must be from the 60s on all the other terms.
Once again thank you for sharing I will use this insight for future purchases.
Got the whole set 20 yrs ago.. love it
Very nice indeed, enjoy them. Thanks
I've been down a Parker 75 rabbit hole of late, picking up both American production and the later examples from Meru France. All them are great writers!
Im not surprised as they are great pens, so well done. I have a couple if your interested. Thanks
Just found a ca. 1970 NOS from the bay....swapped a modern piston filler for the aerometric & gave it a quick polish with some Neverdull....inked it up and find it to be a lovely writing pen with medium wetness. Nib is not overly wet nor too dry, maybe just write? :) love vintage pens, like writing with history on every stroke
Excellent well done Mario. Use it and enjoy it. Thanks
Cheers Ben, glad you enjoyed it !
I have a Parker 75 Spanish Treasure Fleet - 1715 that has not been inked until just last week. Wonderful pen. The nib is a 66 and in the original box. I thought long and hard about inking and decided to use the pen as it was intended. 48 years without anyone getting the pleasure of writing with it is long enough :-).
75 Spanish Treasure, very nice. I must admit my 75 Cisele has still never been inked, im sure one day it will be used as intended.

How much do you sell it for? I'm so in love with this pen
The Parker 75 is my favorite pen of all times, all brands, all models! When I purchased my first 75 from a store called Gertz in Flushing, NY, in 1973's, I paid a whopping $25 dollars for it!! It is a beautiful, classic pen, timeless in its design! I compare it to the Mies Van Rohe's Barcelona chairs that he designed to represent Germany in the1929 Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. The 75 is timeless; place it on any desk design and it still looks fresh and new! I think it is one of the great fountain pen designs of all all times! I have two and both of them write like new pens, even better since the nib has 'melded' to my hand gliding it over the paper! Its classic, timeless and just a wonderful writing instrument that was originally American made!
Yes Ahmasi, i must agree with you a timeless classic. I have one in my collection in the original packaging. Ive just looked and i do not think i have reviewed it so i will make a review. Thanks for reminding me.
I must have missed it, i have already made a review on my Parker 75.
Steph
Great review. I have a fondness for the Parker cisele finish. My Grandmother had a Parker ballpoint in that finish. I believe it was from the same time period as you are pen.
I'm here in the States and wanted you to know that I enjoy you are videos. David
Thanks for watching David. I have a nice 75 FP available.
Grandmia Pens I already have one. Thanks. David
The parker sonnet has a finish like that as well, should you be interested
Absolutely!
Thanks for watching.
Absolutely ! They are very nice pens. Well done with you collection and keep collecting.
I just bought one: my father had one and it always looked incredibly elegant. I don't know what happened to it but I got one. It's plastic barrel and looks like a later model. But I am v happy. The only thing I think I remember was that my father's seemed to be heavier. Did they make a heavier version in sterling silver?
Im glad your happy with your pen, enjoy it. This is the sterling silver model. Thanks
Hello Paulo...The markings are PPCo for Parker Pen Company then the London import mark with 925 for sterling silver and finally the date letter i for 1964.
I hope that answers your question.
Mine has 66 on the back of the nib. It was a gift to me in 1966, so I suggest that 65 on the one in this video could be from 1965.
I dont believe it is the date, i have since learned it denotes the nib size. Thanks Phyllis stay safe.
Wow well done...Enjoy your new pen.
it's a special edition made in 1965 in usa for London，and specially its clip is made of 9K solid gold。its even rarer than 1st editon。
Sorry i dont understand.
Hey how did you know that? Is there an indication?
I finally found the lady patrician ink he like the one you showed off I want to know where I can’t find an extra fine nib so I can complete my wife’s 35 th anniversary gift
Im not sure what you are asking. If your looking for a replacement nib then you will need to search online. Good luck.
Yes I’m asking for a number 2 nib replacement for inkview do you have one I can purchase in extra fine
@@rubenbajapantydj Sorry i do not have one available.
Stef, the numbers '65' means Mideium nib. The earlier 75s had numbers instead of letters denoting the tip size. A 63 for extra fine nib, a 64 for fine nib, a 65 for medium nib and a 66 for a broad nib. There were other numbers for specialty nibs. Later, however, the numbering system was replaced by introducing leters for indicating tip sizes.
Keep it Stef.
Yes i am aware of that now, but thank you for your input.
Beautiful 💜
Thank you! 😊
Keep it up, Stef.
Thanks, keep watching.
I wanted to buy one of these several months ago...
I would appreciate clarification of the marks listed on the barrel of this pen. I never saw them in any other Parker 75. I learned them in your video. My set of Parker 75 was made in 1964 too.
Thank you, Paulo Correa
Hello Sir. I am from Brazil and that one was my first fountain pen - my lovely grandfather introduced me to this incredible hobby and most recently, after 30 year of journalism and geekness (?), I would simply love to have an exemplar of this pen. Mine was gone a long time, unfortunately. Do you still have one to sell? Do you recommend any reliable seller who has?
Hi...Well done to your grandfather for introducing you to the hobby. I did have one until yesterday when it was shipped to the new owner in China. I only have my own personal one in my collection. I have other pens that are available if you are looking for something different. I will inquire with my friend who is also a collector. Thanks
Yes there are lots of different variants of the Parker 75, to many to mention now. Enjoy your pen.
The number 65 on the feed is to denote it’s a Fine. Fine line for general use with moderate pressure. This is probably 1970 made, when they introduced these coding system on the feed also the plastic thread instead of metal thread system.
Yes i have since established the markings, but thanks for your info.
Some time during the late 1960’s or early 1970’s Parker introduced a “special edition” of this pen manufactured with silver coins or bullion discovered on a sunken ship. I am curious how these “special edition” pens were identified and if there were any markings on the cap or barrel indicating that the pen was part of this “special edition” collection.
Im not quite sure as i have not had one unfortunately, so i can not comment on the markings. Sorry
Did you buy one ? If not then you know were there is one.
I do love your videos, sir!
Thank you Jose for watching, i'm glad you enjoy them.
@@penkino1, do you still have any Parker 65 for sale?
Thank you for the excellent unboxing! I wanted to know if you have ever come across a Parker 75 Cisele Fountain Pen with a Burgundy Grip Section? In your opinion is this a rare find and if so how rare is it? Thank you!
Thanks for watching Eric. I have never come across one myself so i do not know, im sure an online search may help. Good luck.
where can we buy a Parker 75 cisele model fountainpen
You can email me, i have a nice set available. Thanks
Beauty Pen ... Simply amazing
Yes i have one in my own collection, they are a iconic pen from the past. Thanks
It is very nice 75 pen
Yes it is, thanks.
Thank you, im glad you like it.
Very lucky! What a great find, congratulations! Is the older model still part of your collection?
Yes i still have the boxed pen in my collection. Thanks for watching.
i have a parker 75 but mine is in black laque (1985 first quarter production)
Hi, how can find a converter to my pen? It is made in France. It is dark red I think you call it perdoux.
Im not familiar with the model you mention, however a on line search may help. Good luck.
About what would a silver Parker 75 from 1965 be worth now? I have one I bought new that year with a couple of different nibs. Have used it very little and it hasn't been inked for probably 20 years.
Hi Wayne, it depends on a few factors so difficult to answer. Try searching online for the sold items. Either way keep the pen and use it and enjoy it.
I have this pen and the back side of the nib is marked with an F. I think I purchased it in 1969 or 1970 in Rochester, NY, and it does not have the hallmark identification on the barrel's side. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the original case in which the pen was packed. Does anyone know how the "sunken treasure" version of this Parker 75 was identified?
The Parker 75 pens were not all the same and their were some slight variations but either way they are all lovely pens. Im not quite sure what you mean by identifying the "Sunken Treasure" 75s ? Thank you.
How it will be avelable ?
This was sold a long time ago. Thanks for watching.
Where do you get the plastic cases that are in your Parker sonnet video. The one that flips open and has a somewhat secret area for ink cartridges at he end. I would to get one as I like to travel. I could not find one anywhere though.
+Ben Jones Unfortunately they are only supplied with the new pens. They do come up on Ebay now and again. Good luck.
Great review thanks :-)
Thanks for watching John.
I have a Parker 75 mechanical pencil and it was working fine but now after using the last lead, it appears to be jammed (the end of the piece that "pushes" the lead out is at the very end of the nib and it won't budge. Any ideas as to what I can do? Also, assuming that I need to remove the nib, any suggestions as to best method for unscrewing it without damaging the surface of the nib? Thanks!
It sounds like it needs disassembling and servicing. Best send it to a mechanical pencil specialist. Good luck.
Stef nice video. You explained minute details of pen that was very interesting. What is the approx manufacturing year of pens having 65 number on feeder.
Glad you enjoyed it. The 65 on the feed would have been the nib size and not the date of the pen. Thanks Raj.
@@penkino1 Thanks for the reply. I want to know the era of pens having 65 on feeder
Great video. Do you have a video on how to disassemble this same model to clean it?
Thanks Juan. I made one on cleaning but i dont think it was dissasembled. Stay safe.
@@penkino1 please share the link. Thanks!
The video is on my chanel, go take a look. Thanks and stat safe.
Bravo maestro ! Such a beautiful pen !
The comparison pen is a set, contact me by PM.
Hello, what refill should i buy for this pen?
An ink converter so you can fill it with bottled ink. Thanks
@@penkino1 Thanks a lot!
No problem, look for the correct one for this pen. Good luck
@@penkino1 I found the pen with the right converter👍👍
Excellent, now use it and enjoy it. Good luck.
Hello sir🙂! How I collect vintage fountain pen?
Hi Ayan, start with some lower end pens and work up to more desirable pens. Good luck.
@@penkino1 thank you🌹
Thanks for your information and
where can I find this kinds of pen?
KG Kim No problem im glad you like it. Why not send me a PM and i will see if i can help.
Grandmia Pens
I also like Parker pens
Will you guide me from where i can buy this?
Please give me your email ID?
I will communicate with you.
What price
Sorry it found a new home a long time ago. Thanks
Hi I’m just wondering how much did these pens sell for the absolutely beautiful
I do not recall they found a new home quite a while ago. Thanks
I have a parker vector matte black GT rollerball pen.
Thats great, enjoy and use it.
Classic model!
Good Review !
Hi,
How can you tell tell the difference between a genuine and fake Parker 75 cisele fountain pen?
Do they make fake Parker 75s, ive never seen one. But we learn something new every day. Stay safe.
I haven't seen a fake parker seventy five even in China！
Hello sir! My mother has this pen, and it's in desperate need of cleaning. Could you do a video about how to clean this specific pen? Or is there a website that you can recommend with instructions on proper cleaning?
A simple wipe over with a jewelers cloth will be fine. Dont over do it as you want to leave the black lines in the pattern. Good luck.
@@penkino1 thank you! The lines are part of the beauty! No way we want them gone.
Absolutely, go easy with it. Good luck
Hi Emmy, i made a video for you and your pen.
@@penkino1 oh wow! Thank you!!
Grandmia Pens I have a cracked plastic inner cap for my Parker 75. I Tried to unscrew the top cap button but couldnt get it unscrew. Any tips for me?
Joven Chiew Try applying dry heat to the cap top, then use a piece of rubber to grip it. Be careful that the clip does not move otherwise it will rip the notches to the top of the cap. good luck.
Grandmia Pens Thanks, I managed to dismantle it with the rubber tube technique. By the way, I am the one who purchased BRASS 3d THREEPENCE SET recently. Have a nice day, Stef.
Joven Chiew Hi Chiew, sorry i didn't recognize the name. Im glad you have now done it. If there is anything else i can help you with why not send me a PM.
I never got it. It was eBay, poor quality and from the USA. I might be interested in this if its for sale.
hi, i have a couple of watermans with a jifmatic system, do you know anything about them??
Not a great deal, maybe try an on line search. Good luck
Good
Thank you.
I have owned many of these parkers seventy five I have to say A good pen and well made，But I'm I haven't got a nos one.
Very nice pens Jack every one should have one in their collection. Thanks and stay safe.
@@penkino1 Thank you，we just get through the epidemic in the last 4 months.It's a hard time.'
Ugh! Just passed up one of these at an antique shop for 10 dollars and I'm kicking myself for not getting it.
$10 Conrad ? Wow you should have snapped his hand of. O well maybe next time, but i doubt it will be $10.
A bit of comfort for you, my Good Sir: I was an even bigger dork. I forgot my one and only 75 fountain Sterling silver, grid pattern, on my lecture desk. An hour later, when returned, it was of course gone. Guess if I kick myself still. It was so heavy in my shirt pocket so I can not imagine how it was even possible to forget it. Guess all the questions from the students made me a bit distracted.
@@tomt5745 ouch! Yeah I'd die if that happened to me. I went back to that antique shop recently and it was gone. Good news is I did get a parker 51 for 30 dollars.
@@conradsmith9332 Ohh. A 51 for 30 dollars is not that bad a deal if being in good condition. Never fancied the 51s, but they syre are beautiful. What finish did you get?
@@tomt5745 I was never a fan until I got one. It was in ok condition despite having a broken breather tube, but I fixed it up. It's the nicest writing pen that I own. It's a black aerometric with a rolled gold cap. You should really try one if you get the chance, they are so nice.
I bought one of these for 63 euros.
How much you are selling? Im interested.
Sorry Jose, these sold a long time ago. Thanks
dear sir how mach parker 75
Sold a long time ago. Thanks
Hi i cant find out about the difference between my cisile fountain pens some have a gold ring and others have a silver ring around the grip area ,was it a cost thing or a date identification change as most of my pens dont have any date letters on.anybody help me ? The answers are very basic there is a parker symbols registry to download .ive got to find it and will add onto this post.it still didn't answer my main question,thats why i put it out there? SO called experts havnt a clue ?
A helpfull site Parkerpens.net /codekey .html hope it helps others
It all depends when your Cisele was made Paul, they were made in different configurations depending when they were made. Good luck.
Hi that wasnt much help grandma all the pens were out of the u.s.a
There is lots of information on line if you search. Good luck
Thanks, I don't know anything about this pen. It was given to me from my dad.
Wow nice pen to be given from your dad. Enjoy it and use it.
This is my Grail pen I consider it my treasure it is Sterling silver and gold after all :)
Yes i have a nice Parker 75 Cisele in my own collection. Thank you for your comments.
هذه أقلام باركر 75 وعندي نفس هذا ومجموعة أخرى تقريبا عدد خمسة أقلام مستعملة ... لكن بصراحة هذا مدري وش يقول ؟
نفس القلمين 👆🏾 هذه عندي سعر الواحد يزيد عن 300 دولار والطقم مع الجاف 500 دولار مع العلبة
فضلا : اللي يعرف وش يقول يترجم لي مع خالص التحية والتقدير
Thank you for your comments.
I am from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Jeddah and a collector of pens and a valley valley a large group of them .. Greetings to you
ممكن أتواصل معك
كيف أقدر اتواصل معك؟؟
Can I have your email, please?
Read the description. Thanks
Why not send me a personal message.
Very bad product.
I got it and since that time it is not working.
Mine works if I use it for cursive writing, but it will skip if I use it to print anything, especially on the down-stroke For a costly pen this should not be an issue..
My apologies to anyone who read what I wrote. I have a Parker Cisele Sonnet, not a 75. It won't print, and maybe it does indeed need some adjustment.
Aaah that sounds better as the 75s are lovely pens. The Sonnets are generally fine, however it may still need adjusting. Unless you purchased one of the many fakes that are around ?
I hope it is real. I bought it new from a very reputable New York based dealer.
If it is from a reputable dealer then surely you can send it back if your not happy ?
If I may make a critical remark but without wanting to be a prick (hard to do, in a comment section): I think the efficiency of these videos would be increased if you did not describe *every* detail that we can also clearly see. A touch of silence might take courage, strangely, but [and I don't know if I'm the only one who feels that way] I wouldn't quite get as impatient with having things almost spelled out that I can read for myself. (I.e. the inscription of the booklet.) After all, yours is a video format, not a podcast. [But I really do appreciate your videos and I don't mean this as a general criticism.]
I can not afford to make a Hollywood production and have to use the old equipment i have. My videos are not planned or scripted i simply ramble on as i go. What you see is what you get. Thanks
