This project reflects my attempt to document the Parker 75 family of writing instruments, focusing on the fountain pens. When I started this in mid-1998, I did not realize just how extensive this family actually was. From the great variety of patterns to the many different materials used for the cap and barrel, during the 30-year production, there are so many different Parker 75s that new pens are still being discovered. To the new Parker 75 collector, this great variety makes for quite an opportunity to start, however for the long-time collector, it makes the job of completing the collection more difficulty, and perhaps, more fun.
This website started as my first attempt at publishing this reference material. Undoubtedly there are still many facts left unturned. I invite any and all of you who can offer additional information or pictures to contact me via email. Hopefully with your additions, I may include them in this project and make it a comprehensive site on Parker 75s.
Of the information I did find, I must admit that much of it came from others more knowledgeable than myself. To them, I express my sincere gratitude for sharing with me their knowledge, insight, and images. Most notable among these people are the most frequent contributors whose names are highlighted:
