- The celebratory DVD that was handed to all employees at Parker Pen in 2008, entitled ' Commemorating 120 Years of PARKER - Fine Writing since 1888'
The DVD was in a presentation box containing the DVD and a Parker Frontier duo set (Pen and Ballpen). On the back of the box was printed the words: Dedicated to all the staff at Newhaven to commemorate 120 Years of "making a better pen..."
Used a Parker Jotter in my university days, and a two-tone remains with me for business use today. It will be pass onto to the next generation without doubt.
Thanks for sharing this very unique historical material, so brilliantly assembled. Greetings from a Parker admirer, writing from the sunny Brazil!
Right now, I have a Parker Jotter which is made in France. Though Parker pens are no longer produced in the U.S.A., at least the quality still remains the same (most users and collectors would disagree, that's understandable). For me, I don't mind using a France-made Jotter; its ink writes so smoothly I don't need to press the pen too hard on the paper surface. Parker Jotters are quite costly here in the Philippines, but they're worth buying nevertheless.😊
Well you can’t really blame most of us for disagreeing. Especially with the new 51 where they just chucked a jotter nib in there and got rid of the classic friction fit. Should’ve just called it the 52 and fans wouldn’t have been so irked. But if your jotter runs smooth, absolutely amazing. The jotter is and will be an absolute icon (especially the ballpoint).
Very interesting! I often wonder if there are living descendents of the brilliant George Safford Parker? If there are then no doubt they must be very proud of their ancestor.
My continued love affair with fountain pens began with watching my dad write and fill out crosswords using his Parker 45. I have owned far more pens than he, including a wide range of Parkers. Sad when any brand dies. This one inspired so many among us.
My mother worked at Parker pen in Janesville during the early 1950’s.
Very well done chronology - I'm thankful to own some of Parker's earliest innovations, which never fail to deliver; thank you for posting this,
Andrew :)
They forgot to include his first partner William Palmer, who invested $1000 and helped establish the company. At first he was a silent partner, but then quit his job as an insurance salesman and joined the company. He retired in 1929.

i have many parkers usa and uk 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s
Its so sad that Parkers are not made in the USA. I miss the old Duofolds and 51s. The new ones made in France and China cannot match the originals.
@earlbee31 Made in Wales UK
France and China! Very close comparison dude
ecelente marca e historia del fundador
i wonder if the people singing have4 seen this recently reminded me of my middle school concert ;) i wonder if the evidence is still out there
PARKER & Ray Ban where Made in USA at one time, now none of them bear their country of origin...
All my Parkers "bear their country of origin". I have examples marked as made in the US of A, the Old Country and also French France. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🐻
Tacher: Winston Churchill used a Parker. Not Conway Stewart.
I was enjoying that right up to the moment that Thatcher appeared!
Thatcher even after 40 years sparks anger.
Eat shit commie!!!
Okay, but the 51 isn't the best fountain pen ever made. It's an amazing and somewhat affordable pen, but each pen has its own use. I wouldn't use a 51 for flourish or for signing. I'd use it for note-taking and with copy paper.
But a Pelikan 400NN with an oblique nib is my go-to pen for nearly everything. And a MB149 for when I'm feeling myself. I'd like to try out a Pineider someday.
Hahaha, but you're forgetting that some of the documents which ended ww2 were signed with 51's.
This was a film made by Parker. Of course they are going to be biased.
USA should leverage buyout parker back to USA.
They did. Gillette bought Parker in 1993 who sold it to Newell in 2000. They made the decision to close Janesville and Newhaven and move production to China.
