This is the update following the 2009 Chicago Pen Show which I attended. I am happy to report that I found some interesting 75-related material at this show.
Thanks to my friend and long-time contributor Tsachi Mitsenmacher the first is a prototype 75 FP with a glass enamel finish in very nice blue color. He also allowed me to photograph his sterling silver Boucheron bark BP.
The same gratitude goes to my friend and long-time contributor Lee Chait, who provided me access to several Parker 75 displays and the wonderful Premier package for the Japanese market known as "The Book". Special thanks to my friend Di Ming Lee who provided the English translations.
Finally I am so happy to hear from Cliff Derbins. He shared memories of his elderly father William, who created the Spanish Treasure Fleet limited edition.
As always, I welcome your feedback and criticisms about my website. I am 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.
