Vintage Pen nibs & Others
Fountain Pen Nibs & Others
During my search for vintage fountain pens, we often come across items such as the pen nibs...
Parker 25 (1985) from Malaysia Kuala Lumpur
Parker 25
During one of my work trip to Malaysia, I have managed to find this 1985 Parker 25 from KL stationery shop in year 2000. Sometime, when one is least expected, we can find treasures along the streets shops.
The Parker "25" is a Flighter, made from steel and plastic, and had easily replaceable nib/sections. The shape of the Parker "25" was unique, since the back of the pen was thinner than the front end, stepped down without really being tapered and it has the 1970s totally square clip, with the Parker logo in a square plastic emblem.
英雄金筆 from Singapore Chinatown in 1988
Hero 100 Gold nip pen
These vintage China made Hero 100 英雄金筆 have sentimental vales as these were found in an old book shops at Singapore Chinatown (牛車水) before the old shop houses were renovated during 1988. The nice old gentleman who sold me the pens told me that these were the top of the lines hero pens with solid gold nibs, which were a luxury for China made pens...

Parker 75 Florence Fountian pen
Parker 75 Florence
I have started to build up my small collection of Parker 75. This Parker 75 Florence is one of the most attractive and elegant 75 pattern with its two-tone vermeil, gold over solid sterling silver, cabochon in clip top. This 75 was made in France for the Italian market, French and Italian hallmarks plus Italian serial number on side of section. USA 14K nib, section ring with angle indicator lines, old-style metal convertor, pen appears to be new old stock. As these are relatively expesnive when it was launched, not many were produced.
Eagle & crab hallmarks. « Argent Massif France - M.D. » on cap lip.
Spaced lines on cap and barrel. Black cabochon on cap end.
