    Default Parker Ellipse

    So, I inherited this pen from my late father, I know they were made for 2000-2002 which baffles me as he wasn’t a pen geek, and would never have bought this Im sure, by 2000 he was retired so it wouldn’t have been a leaving present from work etc, I have no idea where it came from.
    It’s beautiful, but I feel it won’t get the use it deserves with me, especially given it wasn’t something close to my father so I’ll probably look to sell it in due course, but for now, I thought I’d share some photos of it, and if anyone has any useful info relating to it I would really appreciate the input! Hopefully the photos will upload.... fingers crossed.

    You might want to include the refill shot for the inquiring minds.

    I have one and I like to call it the poor man's Waterman Carene. The nib is not exactly like it but close enough. The Elipse was only in production for 2 years or so if memory serves. I like it enough to keep it around but the nib is dry. I really need to try and make it a bit wetter but the nib is so stiff I am afraid I am going to damage it.

    I have one with a fine nib. Quite good pen. I don't know why Parker dropped the line, or why it didn't sell. Maybe they hoped to have the Parker 100 fill the marketing spot between the Sonnet and the Modern Duofold.
