This update comes after the Chicago Pen Show, one that I have attended every year starting in 1998. As usual, it was an interesting show for me because I had the chance to meet friends and contributors. Yes, I also saw some more interesting 75s which is new material for this edition.
I am grateful that past contributors continue to give us the benefit of their generosity. These include Lee Chait, Lynn Sorgatz, and Susan Wirth.
A new contributor to this site is Michael Richter, who provides us with
Parker ads from Germany.
On behalf of the pen community, I thank all these people for their thoughtful
contributions.
As always, I welcome your feedback/criticisms on this site. I am always interested in hearing from you, especially if you have some 75 that you don't see here. Even better if you want to sell it to me. Or if you are looking for a particular 75 or have need of parts, drop me a note. I might just have it. Send me email at the LTW@Parker75.com address.
Thanks for visiting.
Here are the things that are new in the Parker 75 Reference section.
