The Parker "VP" was the brainchild of Kenneth Parker who during the early 1950's had conteplated a pen with an adjustable grip to make life a little easier for left-handed writers and others that preferred a somewhat different writing angle. He discussed the matter with Parkers designer Don Doman, who designed many models for Parker.
Don Doman was the design director for Parker from 1953 and although starting his own design firm in 1957 he was retained as a design consultant for Parker until he retired in 1986. Like Kenneth Parker he was an avid airplane pilot and most likely designed a few patterns for the painting of the official Parker airplanes of the 1950's and 1960's. Also Kenneth Parker's son Dan Parker was probably involved in the Parker "VP". Don Doman and Dan Parker was friends and their children grew up together. Kenneth Parker had stepped down as president in 1952, but remained as chairman. While George S. Parker, Kenneths grandfather and founder of the company, was more of a teacher and a business man, Kenneth and Dan was both very creative men with an eye for design.
One of the first challenges for the newly hired Don Doman was to create this pen that would fit everyones hand. It would take some nine years to finish it, but it would eventually evolve into one of the most successful pen designs ever, the Parker "75". anfanghe idea was to create a nib that could be rotated to fit anyones writing angle, however peculiar they preferred to hold the pen.
The cartridge or converter filled Parker "45" had been introduced in 1960 and had become a great seller, much because of the cartridge of course, but also because it was offered with a vast array of nib sizes. The nibs could be easily unscrewed and exchanged. The same priciple was suggested for the Parker "VP" and when it was introduced in 1962, it was offered with fifteen different nib styles, ranging from Needle point to an Extra Broad Executive. The choice of nibs and the rotating nib gave the user an option to arrange it as a Very Personal writer, hence the "VP". Also the gripping section was designed for a nice writing experience, it was triangular to fit nicely between the the two fingers and the thumb, used by most when writing. It also had grades imprinted in the plastic close to the nib, to help the user to quickly set the nib at the right angle.
The second problem Parker was always trying to overcome was the problem of cleanliness. Filling a fountain pen almost invariably resulted in ink stained fingers. The capillary filled Parker "61" had been launched in 1956 and was designed to be inserted by the back into an ink bottle while the capillary force would literally suck the ink into the pen, without flipping levers, pressing buttons or screwing rods and most important - without getting hands dirty.
With the Parker "VP" Parker tried another approach. A new style of converter was manufactured. As opposed to the standard converters this one ended in a long, thin tube that the user would insert into the bottle, compress the sac inside the filler and then replacing the filler into the pen. It was made from a clear plastic and contained a thin breather tube inside. It looked a lot like the Parker "51" aerometric filler, but was not a true aerometric. It sounded like a nice, simple solution but the thin, plastic tube that was to forcibly be inserted into the back of the ink collector was very prone to breakage and the Parker after services was instantly overwhelmed with broken Parker "VP"s.
