Parker Fountain Pen

I stopped using fountain pens, but my husband still like his MontBlanc, and this one still needs ink.

Throughout my studies, I was an ink pen person. Till my tenth grade, I was using Pelican ink pens . Their ink pens made use of catridges They were simple to use but the material was not very long lassting. When I was in India, I got attracted to Parker and for almost 4 years , I was using Parker pens. I loved the ease of writing and holding. There are costlier brands than Parker but I was content with Parker. I used to buy a big ink bottle and refill the catridges. The ink bottles used to last for me atleast 3-6 months based on assignments , exams and any other writing assignements. It was more economical than buying catridges each time. That was sometime ago. Now , it is ballpoint pens and less writing. Have a nice day!

True. I was amazed with your discussion, its like bringing back good old memories. Fountain pen are still expensive and it has the same value when it was gifted to someone... It has a separate rack in the book store and it was lock.

Oh my God!!! What an amazing thing your post reminded me off. This was such a fancy thing to have while I was in my school. I remember, I got into food strike just to convince my Dad to buy one for me, because back then it was costlier than other fountain pens.

Now it is more convenient to use the disposable ones and much cheaper.

I'm so young there were erasable ball point pens when I started going to school.

I don’t know that I have heard of those kind of pens.

My oldest boy enjoyed using fountain pens. But not for everyday use

I used a Parker fountain for some years until I misplaced it. I've since switched to Lamy and Platinum fountain pens. They are lighter in weight and easier to refill. I use a converter most of the time, although I find cartridges more convenient and less messy.
