I have an early 61 that I got as a gift. It got damaged and I sent it to Parker for repairs. They replaced the black barrel with a flight er barrel, the cap still has a crack at the base. Recently the chrome arrow pointer at the tip got lost but the pen still writes well. I bought another one in a set new in the 70’s but my eldest daughter latched on to it…..hope she is still enjoying it. Thanks for the history lesson. You put out very informative videos.
Hi Doug. Last Sunday I watched your video just after it was published. Four days later I am the proud owner of a Parker 61 Heirloom Bela Vista turquoise pen made here in the UK. What a beautiful pen it is and works and writes well. Thank you for your videos showcasing so many wonderful and at times not so wonderful pens. They always bring a smile on my face with your sense of humour. 😀
I do not comment much, but I have been loving your Pen Resurrection series. It's actually my favorite of your videos, but I think all of you content is good. You're videos a detailed, well made, and informative. So, thank you for all that you do!
My first fountain pen was a Hero clone of the Parker 51. It was a gift, and my friend included a bottle of Hero blue ink. From the first stroke, I was hooked on fountain pens. Perhaps because of that, my dream pen for many years was a vintage Parker 51. I love the Parker 51. Its graceful and innovative design I find thoroughly lovely and the Parker 51s write wonderfully. But when I got my first Parker 61 I was further smitten. I cleaned it, inked it with blue Quink, and it wrote smoothly from the first touch to paper. Fountain pens are wonderful, and so many have unique and delightful qualities, but I think that my favorite of all is the Parker 61. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this video. Thank you!
I won my first ‘61’ in 1962 as the grand prize drawing at Sauerburg drug store in Western Springs IL. I was 9 yrs. old and, as a 9 yr. old, made a complete mess of things. Hence put in drawer after cleaning. Resurrected it a few years ago, had Danny Fudge tweak it (great job & service) and it writes beautifully! Bought a couple more from England on eBay recently - pristine shape. They all write and feel wonderful. For material things, they bring a measure of joy.
While it seems that viewers (or should I say fromer viewers) do not or cannot understand your approach to your presentation is certainly worthy of the Bronx Cheer. Do not stop what you are doing. With no sense of humor, life would be very dull. You could have inserted the Monty Python Fish Dance, also. Excellent presentation, Doug. Detailed and informative with a dash of light heartedness is perfect.
I am loving these resurrection series, Doug! People who don't have courage to do anything try to pull others down. Stupidity should be ignored. I love how detailed your videos are and you are always honest with your opinions. Keep going. 😊
I think the 61 is superior to the 51, but the earlier pen was the real game-changer for fountain pens. It's definitely on my List for acquisition, partly with a view to daily use.
The lengths manufacturers went to over engineer a fountain pen never ceases to amaze me. But alas they wanted to innovate something even if a simple converter could do the job.
The Parker 61 is actually my favorite writing fountain pen. The look, balance and feel along with the consistent flow are just a joy. There are only four brand/models where I have several (more than five) pens in my collection, the Parker 61, Jinhao 159, Jinhao x159 and the Jinhao 80. With the Parker 61, I have learned how to repair cracks almost invisibly (a P61 flaw) and how to disassemble and reassemble a complex pen. Because the Parker 61 is so unloved in the market, I have been able to find three that have never been inked (pink capillary holes). This is the best bargain pen of the fountain pen vintage market. I intend to make the most of this market flaw.
Great job young Doug. Bridge on the River Kwai has one of the great movie last lines….Madness! Madness!” Which by the way I could say in reference to Mr. Kafka!😆
I'm so glad you did a video on this pen. I'm watching an auction today & wasn't sure if it would be viable or not. I received my first 2 vintage pens this week! A 1955 snorkel Clipper & a 1940s Waterman Commando lever-filler... Both of which are an absolute dream. I've definitely caught the vintage pen bug... Lol
Don’t sweat the idiots that negatively comment. I find all of your videos to be thoroughly organized, entertaining & informative. I’m not an expert, but I am very precise & I rarely disagree with your findings. Keep up the great work!😎
What’s to be critical about? You are simply imparting information and experience. Sounds like that dude needed a nap. I have a 61 in Rage Red that I love. It also just needed cleaning. The nib was perfect from day one. Thanks for your informative, non- controversial video.
Videos about restoring old fountain pens are certainly less popular because, I believe, access to these pens is random. My only source of vintage pens is eBay and this is possibly the most expensive and risky form of obtaining these items. That said, I find this series quite interesting and I thank you for it. I've notice, with envy, that Parker 61 in your previous videos. And it doesn't disappoint. Congratulation for that great find. It cannot be in a better caring hands that yours. By the way, I see "Mysterious Blue" on the Waterman bottle, not "Serenity Blue".
I'd never heard of the capillary filling system. Thank you for going into so much detail on it, this video was FASCINATING! I love how sometimes you review new pens, but other times you're basically like a pen loremaster, keeping the history alive!
Brilliant as always, Doug. Hearing that unbelievably negative and moronic comment made me want to say just how much I enjoy your content. It's always useful, top quality, informative and so bloody funny. Well done mate, keep it going.
I love your reaction to people who do ridiculous criticism. One of the problems with social media is that everyone is anonymous except the person presenting. I bet if their mothers saw what some of these people were doing, it would be a 'go to your room and leave your laptop here' or in my mothers case, a quick flick on the back of the head for being a rude idiot. I love this series and learn so much, so 'sucks to the idiots' and I'm now ducking from my Mum.
Thanks, Doug, for another Sunday highlight. Two points about the "61". The inlaid arrow usually falls off, which makes them cheaper; and the later models were C/C fillers. All in all. a bargain for a first-rate pen. Can't wait to see what comes next. As for your 'critics'? For heaven's sake, it's a show about fountain pens, not propaganda for World War III! Take a chill pill and shut up if you have nothing constructive to say. Meanwhile, we're having a barbie. Wish you were here.
Thank you for Pen Resurrection Sunday! I like the history and how the vintage filling systems work. Funny that you pronounce the system capillory (ku-pil-lory) for the first five minutes and then switch to capillary (ca-pil-lary) afterwards. Now to find the first episode of the series.
Being Canadian means you tend to add colour to your neighborhood and pronounce garage "gairaj" and "garahj". Plus we buy our 4'x8' sheets of plywood 19mm thick.
Love your reaction to the trolls comment, I'm sure you are devastated by the lost of such a devoted articulate viewer...so I've subscribed to make up for the loss :) I just don't understand why keyboard warriors need to make comments like that .... such a sad life they lead
I subscribe and enjoy your channel because it gives a technical appraisal of the subject pen and a methodical approach to evaluation and comparison. I also subscribe to the Hemingway Jones pen channel. Dr. Jones is more of a pen aesthete who includes journaling , ink as well as upmarket pens . Both channels are excellent but only you review the PENBBS range
I only have a couple of vintage pens. I was gifted a Parker 61--it was the first vintage pen that sent me scurrying to find out everything I possibly could about it. I took it apart (before I learned I shouldn't) and can only imagine the look on my face when I saw the capillary cell: I honestly had no clue whatsoever. I credit this pen with tweaking my interest in the technical/mechanical aspect of fountain pens. I am still abysmally ignorant but working on it. Thanks for the information, very much appreciated and I truly appreciate the add ons: I don't bother to note physical size etcetera but I have noted the stars gazing in wonder at their self filling pens.
Another Sunday Resurrection video and I am already looking forward to next Sunday’s video. This is good stuff - your background coverage including the history of each pen and it’s specs is extremely informative. I look forward to all your videos and am a loyal fan. Ignore the “maroons” who have nothing positive in their lives with nothing positive to say.
Not a lot of people are into the vintage market. They are not as eye candy as what is new on the market, nor do they glow in the dark :). That's a nice "61"... I got to get myself a 51 and 61 one of these days...
Years ago I found a NOS first year 61 with the shield on the beautiful rainbow cap. The end of the capillary filler was still pink, meaning it had never been dipped. I couldn't bear to ink it up, so I sold it at our annual Michigan Pen Show to a collector from Toronto. He immediately inked it up and threw the original case away, claiming that it would be easier to get through Canadian customs that way.
@@InkquiringMinds he made up for that sacrilege by selling me a pristine Parker 51 double jewel set in the box, with perfect smooth 14k gold caps, clips, and tassies.
@@andrewrothman7805 Awesome! That burgundy 51 with the gold cap I show in the video is actually part of a 1954 set of fountain pen, Jotter ballpoint and pencil in a faux alligator case. I'm the custodian of the set as it belonged to my best friend's late father. At the time they were "the bee's knees".
Thanks for another video. I have to say vintage pens are not my thing. I’ve fallen down the fountain pen, ink and paper rabbit hole and frankly I’m doomed. The thought of adding vintage pens to the list is terrifying for my already over committed pen budget. I still watch your videos though. They’re interesting and informative. Please ignore the Jan’s of this world, who clearly don’t know how to behave and is incapable of exhibiting the most basic requirements of humanity such as good manners! You’re very much appreciated.
I like this Sundays of pen resurrection... the lay-down atmosphere makes wonders with Doug’s creative process, especially for answering rude comments 😂. I don’t know why, but I’m not that attracted to the Parker 61, except when I see it in some cheerful colors like vista blue or red, but still, not exactly my cup of coffee, I guess I prefer the more popular older sister 51 😅. Thanks for the video and for this pen resurrection Sundays. PS. This pen would make you do a “King Charles’ dunk” too frequently too my liking so another reason to put on the back-burner getting one of this 😅,
The troll probably thinks boiled potatoes without seasoning is edgy... Probably only likes pretentious ballpoints. Don't sweat the jerks. I like all of your content, and thoroughly enjoy your sense of humour. The 61 is definitely one I want to find. And capillary, not the later type. Jealous of the condition you found it in!
I think the 61 is one of the more attractive "modern" Parker pens out there, but that hooded nib and capillary filler just makes it something I've no real interest in. Both characteristics are big negatives to me. If I was wealthy and just indulging my urge to collect classic fountain pens, it would of course make the list, but I don't see me using it as a daily driver. I have a classic black Parker 51 aerometric filler for just that reason. I'm not in love with it, but I thought "I can't call myself a fountain pen collector if I don't own a Parker 51!" I'd really like to find a Parker 50 Falcon with the integrated nib. Please excuse me. I'm rambling. Lovely review of an excellent pen if it appeals to one. Thanks for the lesson!
Hello, I'm a fountain pen mania living in Korea. Your video related to 61 helped me a lot. Thank you very much. + Can you tell me the exact name of the blue tube(?) you used to clean it? It seems appropriate for my 61.
@@InkquiringMinds thank you! A5, right? A 4 that would be a lot to me! Even if it's A5, that's not bad! (Pretty sure my PFM can't do more, not even with a fresh sac and everything.)
I’m almost speechless. How anyone can just criticize because they disagree. Another review that is well thought out and executed. Keep it up.
Thank you, Jorge!
I have an early 61 that I got as a gift. It got damaged and I sent it to Parker for repairs. They replaced the black barrel with a flight er barrel, the cap still has a crack at the base. Recently the chrome arrow pointer at the tip got lost but the pen still writes well. I bought another one in a set new in the 70’s but my eldest daughter latched on to it…..hope she is still enjoying it. Thanks for the history lesson. You put out very informative videos.
