24 - Update of various items that have been sold from the Exchange section.  Many new pens are still in stock and available!
14 - Update Treasure Gold BP with recent eBay auction info of the same model.

 

May

31 - I added two new offers: a parts set (MCSet) for repairing the FP cap, and sterling silver BP+MP set.  I also added a few clarifying comments on the Premier set in that they are complete for the models offered in the US except for the solid 18K gold version.
19 - I added the #80 needlepoint nib along with matching section at a special price, and reduced the price on the broad 18K French nib.  You'll find these on the nibs page.
12 - The GP Imperial BP desk pen was added to the Exchange section and the cap tassie was added to the parts page.
10 - I added so many miscellaneous parts for sale that I decided to split the page into two, separating the nibs from the other parts.  Some of the new parts added include sterling cap and barrel, BP cap mechanism, slip clutch spring, inner cap, and more.  Here is the new parts page and here is the nibs page.  I have also added the classic sterling grid 75 felt-tip in the Exchange section.
9 - I added new Premier pens to the Exchange section including a complete 5-pc set of all the non-gold models.  Anyone who wants to get an instant collection of this luxury upgrade to the 75 line will take advantage of this assembly.
7 - I just returned from the Chicago show and was successful in locating some choice items for sale.  These are the green, red and blue custom pens available with the felt-tip section that accommodates the rollerball refill, a modified BP using a plastic shim for to fit the BP refill, or as FP with your choice of available exotic nibs.  These items are now on the Exchange section.

 

April

16 - Update the status of items in the Exchange section with sales of a few items.  In particular, I am now out-of-stock on the cob coin book but I hope to get more soon.

 

March

31 - Update of the Reference section with new details of the vermeil grid and laque variations, unknown grid FP made of Nickel-Silver material, new page on solid gold models, and more.

10 - Updated the status of some items in the Exchange section with sales of a few items.
3 - Updated the status of some items in the Exchange section to "pending sale" and added a new item. 
1 - Happy New Year!!

It is long overdue so I am happy to finally announce that the Reference section was updated last night.  Click here to see the new items.

You may have noticed that the top section navigation bar has been changed slightly.  First, there are now dates under the FAQ, Reference, and Exchange titles.  These will tell when those sections were last updated.  The second is a new item called Web Links where I list links to other websites.

Another new addition to the website is a subcategory of the Exchange section where I list ephemera items for sale.  These may be advertisements, brochures, manuals, catalogs or other non-pen items relating the the 75s or Parker pens in general.
