This is only the third and final update for 2008 which takes place after the Columbus Pen Show I attended in November. Frankly there's not much shaking in the world of Parker 75s.
For that reason I am happy and fortunate that my friend Lee Chait continues to share his ephemera. For this update I was able to photograph his Treaty Pens tabletop display that Parker had made.
Also I am happy to receive contributions from several new contributors. First is Sam Fiorella from Pendemonium, a long-time supplier to many pen folks. She shared a page from an old United Stationers Supply catalog listing prices for various 75 models in 1978.
Next is Shlomo Harel who shared pictures of his Imperial 75 variant. And third is L. Graham Hogg, author of the book The Parker Ballpoint Pens, who provided me with pictures of the Canadian 75 ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil set.
On behalf of our pen community I thank him for his continuing generosity.
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. 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 new items in the Parker 75 Reference section.
