Description:
Parker 35 Ball Point Pen, made in France , Greyish brown thuya (wood grain) barrel and cap, golden arrow clip, and engraved emblem.
At First glance, the Parker “35” looks very much like the Parker “75”, and has sometimes been called as the “Baby 75”., although, the features, sans the size and nib, are actually more similar to the Parker “180”. The Parker “35” was a pen with an open nib introduced in 1979 (1979 - 1986) as a smaller and lower priced cousin to the Parker “75” and Parker “180”, sharing many finishes. It does not however, like the Parker “85” and Premier, clearly belong the the Parker “75” core family since few parts are interchangeable.
Parker “35”had a black, plastic section and a combined ink feed, smaller, very similar, but not identical, to the one on the Parker “75”. The Parker “35” section was rounded
and smooth, the tassies were thinner and had a medium sized smooth cap band with band with the lettering “Parker Made in France”.
The easiest way to spot a Parker “35” from a Parker “75” is that the cap slids over the body, while both Parker “75” and Parker “180” have the caps ush with the body. The
Parker “35” was discontinued in 1986.
