Things have been very quiet in the world of Parker 75s, so this is the first update for 2011. It occurs a few weeks after the Chicago Pen Show where I was able to find some interesting items thanks to my good friends who are regular and long-time contributors to this website.
First items come from Tsachi Mitsenmacher who, as usual, allowed me to photograph his pens at this show. He had some Premier prototypes in three writing modes: fountain pen, rollerball, and pencil. He also had a T-1 cap with a different color jewel than usual, along with an advertisement from Brazil.
Next come a few blueprints from Lee Chait. I have now started a new section of this website just to show these items. There are some interesting facts that can readily be seen from these engineering drawings.
If it weren't for the generosity of both these men, updates to this website would be very scarce indeed. So I thank Tsachi and Lee for sharing their information with Parker 75 fans and the pen community.
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.
