Parker

Parker is probably the most famous pen brand on the planet, catering for all budgets and tastes, and we have a wide range of Parker Pens to suit any tastes and budget. The Duofold is its most prestigious Parker pen and dates from the 1920s, while the Parker 51, with its unusual hooded nib, was described as 'the pen from another planet'. The Parker Jotter in particular is one of the most recognisable writing instruments there is, and Parker Quink is virtually synonymous with ink.

The history of Parker pens is also a lot of the history of pens in general, with innovations like the 'Lucky Curve' feed that made fountain pens more reliable and less likely to leak, and the Aerometric feed that first made fountain pens safe from the pressure changes in aircraft. The Parker 51 was a huge success, and introduced the world to the 'ink collector', which kept a ready supply of ink wrapped around the nib - relatives of the same system are in use today not only in fountain pens, but in many of the best rollerballs too.
