I have several pens that I'd like to trade for Parker 45s in interesting flavors (Custom, Harlequin, Coronet, Insignia, etc.), Parker 61s, and the elusive Parker 65s. Up for grabs are a handful of Shaeffer Snorkels and Touchdowns, a couple of Shaeffer Balances, several plastic Watermans, and some Ester brook Dollar Pens. Willing to trade 1-1, 2-1, etc. Whatever it takes. Anyone interested?

Yep, I'm trying to "rationalize" what I have . I've a 65 ( a nice Insignia with a basic 65 that dries out thrown in) and a couple 45 might interest ( a harlequin, an early 45 - basic dark grey with gold nib and Parker/Eversharp converter and a couple flighters ). My main areas of interest are pre Snork touchdowns and Aust. Sheaffers , I'm a bit of a sucker for Snorks but trying to stick to Aussie ones.

Among non-snorks, I have four Touchdowns...a "chubby" first year (maroon Admiral with the white dot and noticeable cap shrinkage), and three TDs: 1 blue Valiant (white dot), 1 black Valiant (white dot) , 1 blue Admiral. I also have a maroon Craftsman with a Touchdown filler.

I have a gem on the website, but probably not really up for trades. No worries, I offer the image at least for fun

Hi Mike,

The black Valiant is of interest. Here's my 45s



5. 45, Harlequin shield, working order with converter. Grades as “excellent”, F steel nib.<br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252);"><br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252);">6. Early 45 (dark grey), medium gold nib and a Parker/Eversharp converter (working). Grades as “extra fine” or a bit better. Possible first year model.<br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252);"><br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252);">7. 45 Flighter, medium gold nib and grades as“extra fine”, has a posting mark and some plastic shrinkage in the section.
