I just received a Parker 21 and I was wondering how I could tell the diference between a 21 and a Super 21.  And how I might find what date it was manufactured.

A 21 & 21 super are easy to tell apart. The 21 has a standard style open nib/feed set up under the shell. The 21 super has the same tubular nib as a 51. the 21 will have a larger cut out/feed-nib hole than a 21 super/51.

To my recollection there isn't really any way to nail down specific dates. I think there are 3 or 4 versions with manufacturing date ranges based on the changes.

You know it's sad the only person that answers any question on this sight is you Dennis.  I thought that this is what this sight was for.   Surely there is someone out there that knows things about these pens other than you.  furious

I know man. Getting people to post here is so damned hard. We generally have 15-30 people through here a day reading and lurking. Why they don't post is beyond me. I think we are one of the most laid back and essy going fp boards on the net. We do have the largest publicly available vintage catalog & advertisement gallery in the world. We have free repair videos in the repair forum and all that sort of thing. hands down this is a solid site & why it can't get going is a mystery to me. We had our 1 year anniversary back in June & we still havent broken 1K posts yet.

If you have anyideas on how to get it rolling I'd love to hear.

Dennis

I'm still looking for a flighter 21 super. Very similar to the 51 flighter but at a fraction of the cost.

Richard has a great site. I reference it all of the time.

I've seen a couple in ebay over the years & at a couple of pen shows. I wouldn't go so far as to call them rare, but pretty uncommon wouldn't be a stretch either.

I have a red 21 super on the way in ow as part of a lot of pens I scooped out of ebay for another piece that was there. Hopefully they will be in by tomorrow afternoon.

I'd planned on dropping this one in the 'bay when it lands here. Want to give it a new home if it's in good shape?
