ParkerJotter 3 Colours - 1 Black + 1 Blue + 1 Red Ballpoint Pen

I found my self in need of a dependable, stylish pen when the one I had used for years ran out of ink and I could not find replacement refills. I knew Parker to be economical, good looking and to have available refill cartridges, the bigger ones not the stick, plastic tube type. I received my 3 pack in just 2 days and started using one immediately. I decided to check the other 2 before putting them away and one had a dry cartridge. Called customer service and I was treated like one of the company owners! Very sincere apologetic rep who sent me out a replacement immediately even though the replacement cartridges come in a two pack! I am very pleased in all aspects.

Parker's Jotters are simply the best ballpoint pens that anyone has ever made. I have multiple sets of these pens for use at each of my desks and to carry with me. I'm not that crazy about Parker's ink cartridges though. I prefer to use either Fisher's Space Pen cartridges or Jaymo's pressurized ink cartridge refills.

Years ago, I had several Parker T-ball jotter pens, which I really loved. I changed to gel pants for many years, but, lately , the gel pens have been drying up on me and requiring scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing on paper to get them primed to where the gel would come out I decided to fall back on my Parker pens like I used to use all the time. These three pans arrived. They are much thinner to hold, although they look identical to the old ones that I used to use. My hand is large, but not overly show. I’m not sure if I will get used to their slender profile. My hand keeps losing its grasp of the thinner, smooth cylinder. They write smoothly, as they did before. I believe I will put these pens into my pen can and use them for a quick note jotting here or thereBut not for serious prolonged penmanship. Maybe my family members may prefer slender profile pens. If they do, I have some great pens for them. I highly recommend the Parker or anyone who appreciates fun writing equipment like I do, and particularly this model for people who like thinner pens.

I have read a lot of reviews about these pens. Let me help you out. Be grateful that these are still being made. Separate your personal experience from the reality that a product that has been made for decades- will change and what changes are you referring to as your experience is not all inclusive. I have purchased and received these pens since the early 60's. Guess what- USA made ones change. UK and France ones were first made in the 70's- along with USA thru the 90's. Now they are made in India as NP if that what it means. Big deal. Obviously the clip arrow has changed in design- so has USA ones through time. The top click part I know is different. I have had well made and not well made from all origins. The ones here are not made in France as depicted. Only the all stainless one is with the silver arrow clip. By the way if you take USA ones- they too differ in their sizes and tip ends through time. I only checked because of comments saying that one's USA model or old one is different from the new ones. There is/was not a "one size" USA made- there are several. I know. I own them. The best one in my opinion was the all stainless with a gold colored clip and the center was the push part. Had two- fairly close in time bought. USA- made AND quite different from each other. Relax, enjoy these while they are still available. And you can always find a mint old one somewhere too. Ink cartridges: the generics work. I remember it took the originals from much older ones of these pens forever to run out. That was a long time ago. Enjoy them!! They are definitely worth the money and remember - the memories you may have should be cherished. And relax, there were changes made in shape sizes and tips from the SAME country, not just in other countries making them. At least today after what.......nearly 60 years at least- they are still being made. I hope if you purchase this pen or pens you will enjoy them.

These pens remind me of to 70s or 80s. I remember my grandfather always had this type of pen in his shirt pocket. This is a great nostalgic item with a cool vintage vibe. My only complaints would be that the packaging said it was only for the India market and not to be sold outside of India so it would be kind of weird to gift these pens with that marking to someone. Also, I was under the impression that the red one would write red, that the black one would write black, and that the blue one would write blue, but this was not that case. All 3 of them, regardless of the color of the plastic on each pen, all write blue. Still a cool item and they all write nice and are well made.

Seriously... The 1or 2 star reviews are pathetic. Saying that these pens are shorter and some saying they're a knock off.... Yes the plastic bottom ones as these are about 1 mm shorter.... Like that makes a difference....They're also not a knock off and some people actually want the ones made in India because of their weight etc. I grew up in the 70's and had a Parker pen. It had a plastic bottom like these. The plastic holds better to the fingers when your hand is sweating. To me it's also nostalgic. These are not only great pens with history but also very economic. The people who complain.... Really, what do they expect to get for less then $15 dollars?? I'd pay that for one of these pens. The fact that I got 3 is just a sweet bonus. Also should be noted that when I was a kid, the red was really a maroon color and it still is, thankfully.... The photo seems as if the red is like a bright red but it's not... It's maroon or burgundy. It shows that you'll always find some angry people in this world who think you can buy the Brooklyn Bridge cheap... They just need to complain about something. For this price, the pens are a steal and I highly recommend them. They don't feel expensive but that's the whole point.... Parker never did. I'm buying another set today.
