Vintage fountain pens..

My sifu Mr. Lee has taught me the art of vintage pen collecting since the 1988. Since I have started with Parker pens, I have mainly stayed mainly with Vintage Parker. In particular, I have put in special efforts in collecting the early eyedropper staring with nos 16, more 16 and eventually to nos 15, 14' 33, 2 and 47. These are lovely pens with nice filigree overlay and mother of pearl.

Eye dropper

For comparison is an anonymous vintage eyedropper pen with abalone barrel versus the famus Parker pregnant 47. Really love the fat barrel as well as the exqusite fligree design across the cap and the barrel.

The PP watch fits very nicely with these vintge pens.

Parker #47 (Pregnant Parker) Eyedropper fountain pen

Parker #47

I have been collecting vintage pens since 1988, I must say that the early days of collecting has been a tough ones as there are not many information available. Most of the time, we will have to rely on word of mouth in order to gain information. One of the pen that was mentioned but never get to see is the so called "pregnant Parker". This is one of the legendary Parker Pen introduced in 1909 with the number 47.

Look at the barrel, and you can understand why. This Parker pen is also known as #47 with a body of mother of pearl and abalone, in a curved finish that created a bulge on the pen body, held down by two ornamented gold bands. The cap had an 18k gold overlay in a floral design with a name plate for engraving. It cost $10 at that time. This is the most beautiful pen from Parker!

After 23 years of searching and hunting, I have finally found one from the USA. Cheers!
