Parker Quink Turquoise

 Was able to pick up another of these pens in new/old stock condition.The first one I purchased had a black barrel and metal cap.This one has a red barrel and metal cap.Have not tried it out yet.

 Think I will keep the black pen filled with either Sheaffer Skrip Peacock Blue or Parker Super Quink Turquoise.The red pen, I will load with what ever ink colour I feel like using at the time. 

 Thanks for that.Saw on a site where a Canadian made fern and sage Snorkel pen were for sale.Was thinking about getting one,but not sure if I will or not.Have to do more thinking I guess.LOL So many pens and so little money.LOL

 Wish I could post a picture,but that is more than my poor computer skills will allow.

 Have been really enjoying using the new/old pen and all the great memories that go along with it.My letters of late, have become a lot longer than usual.

 The new/old pen I recently  purchased was done up in a plastic wrap.My guess,  it was taken out of what ever it came in,so a new sac could be installed ,then wrapped in the plastic .

 Seems to me,my  old 1969  pen came on a cardboard flat piece and the pen was held on the cardboard by plastic.Seems to me, there was information on the cardboard such as the Sheaffer name and the like.Of course that was back in 1969 and my memory might not be perfect.

 The other types of Sheaffer lever pens I have seen,all had screw on caps.These pens have a pull it off,push it on ,type of cap.

What ever type of pens they are,I am sure they were not expensive pens in their day,but from my experience, they work better right out of the package ,than a lot of other more expensive pens.
