Parker 45 Fountain Pens have been a mainstay of the Parker line since the late 1960s and are still made today for the UK market. Well made, reasonably priced and all around good writers, the Parker 45 makes a great pen for everyday use or for someone just getting started with fountain pens.

Parker 45s are cartridge/converter fill. Converters are available separately - we have both original and current production converters to fit these pens. Complimentary ink cartridges are included with each Parker 45 purchased.

Parker Gilded Desk Set – Very unusual desk set! When I found this, I thought it was an odd Haeger Pottery Parker desk set that had a most unusual finish, but I'm not so sure. Parker Haeger desk sets that I've seen all have a Haeger mark on the base and this one just says Parker USA on the base. The style however is definitely Haeger-esque! The pottery is glazed white on most of the base, then gilded on the top and side surfaces and a little ways onto the bottom base. It is fit with a Parker 51 Magnetix style pen holder, yet it is too small to hold any of the Parker 51 style desk pens I had to try in it. So for lack of not having a proper pen, I've slid a black Parker Jotter desk ballpen into the pen holder which happens to fit perfectly. Definitely a bit odd. I have not been able to find any reference to this finish. Perhaps someone reading this can tell me more about it. The desk set is in excellent condition, as is the Jotter desk ballpen. Wear your shades, it is bright!

Custom Parker Jotter Pencil - This glossy black Parker Jotter Mechanical Pencil has been customized and is very snazzy! The bottom third of the barrel has a matte finish, giving the barrel a two tone look and also making it non-slippery to hold on to. Six high tech looking grooves have been machined at the top of the barrel just below the cap. Click to extend 0.9mm diameter lead (yes, that is correct, this is not skinny little lead typical of Jotters!). This is a clipless model Jotter pencil with an added decorative machined ring at the top to complete the high tech look. Measures 5.25 inches long. New condition.

Parker Pen Dies

Now these aren't something you come across every day! A neat little memento from the Parker Pen factory when it was still in Janesville, Wisconsin. These dies will look great displayed with your Parker pen collection!

This batch of printing dies were once used at the Parker Pen factory in Janesville, Wisconsin. The metal die (aluminum?) is attached to a block of wood and they were used to print box labels.

The sizes of the dies vary slightly. Large (LG) dies measure approximately 2.5 x 1.5 inches. Small (SM) dies measures approximately 2 1/8 x 1 1/8 inches.

The dies have all been scanned as a mirror image so that you can easily read them. Remember that when you get your die, the type will be in reverse from what you see in the photos below.

All are in very good condition, in fact many of them show no signs of ever having been used.

Holiday Card

Unusual oversize Parker Holiday card dates to the late 1950s and has a Parker imprint on back with the Oval-Arrow symbol: The Parker Pen Company Printed in USA 9-58. I think they would have been given by Parker sales people, but I could be wrong on that. Measures 5.5 x 11 7/8 inches and is printed in full color on very heavy stock. There is a die cut inside where something would have been inserted, a pen? Die cut is too small for a business card. Shows some drawer wear. The front is in very good condition. Inside: With Best Wishes for the New Year

It's Form No. 3535 indicating Duplicate Personnel Copy and printed in U.S.A. Each pad has about 50 forms on it (I didn't do an exact count, so there may be a few more or less), they measure 4 x 6 inches and are bound on the 6 inch side. Printed in black ink on white paper. In case you can't read all of the fine print in the photo, it reads:
The Parker Pen Company, Janesville, Wisconsin On ........ I was given the opportunity to return to my old job of ... but I elect to stay on Job. No. ...., the job that I am now performing.

Parker Pen Company Packing List, ca. 1940s. Not dated, found with WWII era Parker Quink boxes and the style of the packing list seems to fit in with that era as well.

It's made out to Hoke Drug Co in Raeford, NC and was for a lighted display case of some sort. Parker sent 30 dozen bottles of Quink Ink to offset the cost of the display. The Parker address is Court and Division Sts in Janesville. Measures 5 3/8 x 11 inches. There is a burn mark center left and a tear in the center, blue ink smudge in lower right corner. All in all it has survived the years quite well and seems to have outlasted the Hoke Drug Company which no longer seems to be in business.

Each pin measures a large 1.25 inches diameter, not a teeny lapel pin, but not overwhelming large either. Sturdy clutch style pin on the back. Made in Argentina by the very talented Ariel Kullock.

Parker Illustrated Heritage Calendar - Parker 1997 Heritage Calendars have a story to tell and the illustrations are magnificent. Truly works of art, the illustrations were recreated from old black and white Parker advertisements, skillfully restored and hand colored. Each page of the calendar is 16.5 x 23.5 inches with a small monthly reference calendar at the bottom of the page, the colored print is above the calendar. The calendar was printed on a gloss heavy white stock, very suitable for framing should you so desire. There is also a bound in full sized page explaining the history of the advertising prints in English and five other languages. These calendars are in pristine condition inside a protective cardboard envelope. Each illustration features a different advertisement with Parker Pens from the early Lucky Curve era. Early black and white Parker advertisements using these illustrations and from same era sell for $10-$15 each. These colored illustrations are far more beautiful and a very limited quantity was produced. Four of the twelve illustrations are shown just to give you an overall feel for the beauty of the Parker artwork. A must have for the serious Parker collector!

Refilling your
Vintage Mechanical Pencils

Most mechanical pencils made before the late 1960s and some even after that are refilled by feeding lead in from the Point End. Those that feed from the barrel (below the eraser) are a fairly modern invention! Don't be fooled by leads in the barrel, in older pencils, that was simply a space to store a few extra leads, but that's it - just storage. As always with vintage writing instruments, exceptions will crop up!

The instruction below are from a Sheaffer package insert, but apply to most older mechanical pencils.

Pencil Refill Instructions

We carry a variety of pencil leads - click here.
