    Came in today a set of parler pens.

    45 Fountain pen Med nib
    Clickety ballpoint
    Mechanical pencil
    Fibre tip









    Ballpoint, fountain pen and pencil all work like a dream, very happy. The fibre has no cartridge and parker no longer make the refill, but I hear some have success with rollerball refills so may try that.

    Definitely think this will make a good suit wearing set. Inlike to keep a pen on hand when I'm out in a suit 😂

    My go to fountain pen is a Cross Art Deco platinum plated. I love all things Art Deco, including that pen.

    Two of my favorites that I use most of the time.

    The other is a titanium Namisu Nova pen with a titanium nib.

    Jinhao 159, very large fountain pen, everyday user for me. No specialist here for sure but the vintage fountain pen I used before seemed like they were always scratching the paper. This Jinhao just glides nicely.

    I have a few 450's, i like them except that the lids fall off and they are hard to start if they dont get used regularly
    Bread and water can so easily become tea and toast

    Never had the nib fall off, and since I changed ink it doesn't seem to dry up like the old one did.

    The thing I love about Jinhao is that while they write really nicely (most of the time at least), they are so inexpensive, I have no problem taking them to work. If they were to disappear, they are easy to replace.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
