Parker Minim Jotters - Mini Review

These are some cute little ballpoints from Parker. Since I'm a guy I try not to use the word "cute" too often, but these are just that.

They are so small that Parker designed a special click mechanism for these. There is small piece of spring metal that pushes the cap to one side and the lip of the cap catches in a groove on the inside of the cap itself. I'll work on a drawing of a cut-away and post it.

Well I worked on a cut away image in Photoshop Elements. I'm not very happy with it but it is my first time doing this.

Hand drawn version of the same illustration.

Another hand drawn illustration of the whole pen with colors.

I picked these up at the 2005 Atlanta Pen show. I think I saw some on eBay at one time and thought it looked pretty cool.

Anyway, if you ever find a good deal on one you may want to get it as I think they're pretty unusual.
