Parker 45 Appreciation thread
The Parker 45 is one of the most prolific pens made by Parker.
Millions of them were sold worlwide and a wide variety of finishes, prices, nibs, etc
I got one when I began 3rd grade as school pen, almost 50yrs ago. I learned to write with it and Pelikan Koningsblau ink.
Used 45s through grade school, high school and college; replacing nibs a few times due to "accidents" (i.e. kids being kids)
After I finished college, I moved to more expensive pens but keep coming back to the 45 when I wanted something reliable, smooth and easy.
Very well designed pen, sleek looks, great variety of colors and finishes.
Very comfortable (to me), smooth writer with all sots of nibs and easy to clean/maintain.
Replacing parts takes no time, and the fact that it can use cartridges or a converter is invaluable.
Slip on cap is not a problem, and besides a few times that the pens have leaked during air travel it has never let me down
and over the years have become more and more appreciative of how smooth the nibs are, the longevity of the pens and how easy they are to maintain and upgrade.
This thread is to post pictures and (mostly) appreciation for this timeless design
