Today's pen is the Parker 51:

Also known as the most popular fountain pen ever made. The original production run lasted from 1941 to 1972 and sold at least 20 million pens.

As simple as it looks, it has some features that were groundbreaking at the time. The cap is a slip cap, when everybody else was using screw threads. The nib is tube shaped, making it especially rugged. Said nib is protected by a plastic hood so that only the point sticks out, to minimize drying when uncapped.

And the plastic is acrylic, which has stood the test of time. No cracking, no shrinking, no weird discoloration. Look at this sleek little bullet of a pen!

It's a nice size, lightweight and well balanced. And it writes beautifully.

Also, fun fact, this was Queen Elizabeth II's favorite pen. She had a red one.

I think in any industry there's a model that just works. Like, all the engineering comes together in such a way that you get exactly what you were aiming for. There are prettier fountain pens than the 51, and many more expensive. But the 51 is pure Fountain Pen in the best way.

Retractable expensive pens (Like Parker, Sheaffer, Lamy, etc) are amazing for head scratching. Their bodies are so smooth that they just glide through your hair and won't mess up your hairdo. They're also sturdy enough and sharp enough to make a good scratch.

Pens were at one time an important part of everyday life, you were judged by the quality of your instrument. Nowadays a pen is just a thing you use, disposable even if the still work ,because you have so many. Just like how politicians view you.

Ownership of pen with the history and prestige of the Parker, will provide the owner with a feeling of satisfaction and a sense of ceremony each time that they write.

The Parker Pen Company was founded in 1888 by George S. Parker, whose mission was to manufacture a better pen. The Parker Pen Company’s tradition epitomizes the highest standards of craftsmanship, technology, and aesthetics. From the 1920s to the 1960s, Parker was No.1 in worldwide writing instrument sales. The Parker Duofold is one of the most recognizable and enduring fountain pen designs. Launched in 1921, the pen was a phenomenal success and put the Parker Pen Company squarely into the front rank of fountain pen manufacturers. Duofold remain popular in Europe being produced well into the 60s in varying sizes and colors when it was revived in the 80’s once again as Parker’s Flagship model.

In 1932, Parker began test marketing the next generation in fountain pens, the Golden Arrow. This radical new pen featured a compact plunger-operated pump filler that nestled at the back end of the barrel, eliminating the space-hungry pressure bar and sac. The Golden Arrow was later renamed as Vacumatic. The Vacumatic went on the market in 1933; and discontinued in 1939, due to the introduction of new Aero-metric filler.

Parker pens were frequently selected to sign important documents such as the World War II armistices, and commemorative editions were sometimes offered.

I much prefer a ballpoint refill over a gel one, for art at least. Gel is nice to write with, but is awful for sketching

Tried comparing the 400NN to my semi-flexy vac with mixed results lol

#sheen is much more visible with the 400 but imo there's better variation with the vac #i wouldn't recommend the parker for a beginner tho. the nib's feel is much harder to learn #also the usa flexy parkers are much rarer than a flexy 400NN lmao #phone camera is shit. both are inked with waterman mysterious blue bc that is best ink for vintage flexies #personal #pens #fountain pens #pelikan pens #parker pen #pelikan #parker #oimoi rants about pointless stationery bullshit #also i lied: after further review the vac shows the sheen better

Here's a pen that's been patiently waiting in the repair pile:

Back in the day, pen models came in multiple sizes. Parker called their small Vacumatic "debutante" for some reason. Here it is next to a normal Vac:

It has a very fine nib. Took some tuning to get it flowing again. As the materials age, they can deform and screw up their function. It writes well now.

The engraving says "JACIE E HANNER", and to my delight I found a little bit about her online. Jacie E. Hanner passed away in 1993 at the age of 82 in Seymour, Indiana (where the pen shipped from). And she established two grants: one for a high school and one for the Humane Society.

I wonder, did someone inherit this pen and use it in her memory? And now they too have passed, maybe.

Anyway, Jacie, I fixed your pen.

Demanding more lisp

posts in which it is imperative that wade be read with a fruity obnoxious little gay lisp:

#ask-spiderpool #she's a LETHSBIAN harold. #hoh-moh-SECKS-ssuals... #i love wade intentionally having the most ridiculous pronunciation in the world for certain words. #penetration... penatracione... pen-ah-TRRAh-see-oh-neh #it's very important you roll the Rs... #your erectioné in this directioné... #i hate this man and his mouth. #i have such a vivid and stupid voice for wade wilson that lives in my head and i hear him so clearly #and im just like so. so upset that i can't manifest this voice and have all of you hear it #he has the MOST stupid way of talking ever and i so want to animate to it. #it's something like robin william's genie from aladdin. an animator's delight. he's so. so theatric. all the time. #and he's constantly changing and shifting accents and impressions and mannerisms. #just whatever he can to make the delivery as funny as possible. #he has this universally ambigious accent all the time. and he's so. so good at accents. #he's just totally brilliant at mimicry. you should hear his peter parker impression. it's perfect. he nails it. peter is so mad about it. #he absolutely can answer the phone as peter and nobody is the wiser. #if he dons peter's tights nobody would discern from voice alone. they'd only be able to tell by the different body types.
