Date codes on Parker Pens派克笔的生产日期代码
In mid 1934 Parker began marking most pens and pencils with a date code, both the barrel and the nibs were marked, but lacking a date code doesn't necessarily mean that the pen was made pre-1935, since many imprints have been worn off with use. The first date codes, found for example on the Vacumatics, consists of two digits, the first one denoting the quarter of production, the second denoting the production year. Hence a "47" marking on a 1930's pen indicate that the pen was produced in the fourth quarter of 1937, not 1947, which is a common misconception.
派克公司从1934年中开始在大多数笔的上笔身和笔尖上同时标记生产日期代码,不过没有日期代码不一定意味着是1935年之前生产的笔,也有可能是因为很多笔的印记在使用时磨损掉了。最先的日期代码是在真空系列(Vacumatics)上发现的,由两位数字组成,第一位代表生产的季度,第二位代表生产的年份。例如1930年代生产的笔上标记着“47”是指这支笔在1937年第四季度生产,而不是1947年生产,这种情况常被误解。
In the second quarter of 1938 this system was however changed to save production time, and a new date code, using a system of dots, was adopted. The stamp initially had three dots and for each quarter one dot was filed down leaving none for the fourth quarter. Since production was overlapping examples exist with either the imprint 28 or .8. for the the second quarter of 1938. Also, since this coding system extended over a decade, a pen marked 38 could be produced the third quarter either in 1938 or 1948.
为节省制造时间,代码系统在1938年二季度发生了变化,采用了新的编码方式,使用打点进行标记。最初这种印记有3个点,每个季度打一个点,第四季度则不打点。由于生产的重叠,会存在1938年第二季度被标记为28和.8.同时存在的情况。而且,由于代码系统使用了十年以上,一支标记为38的可能是1938年3季度、也可能是1948年3季度生产的。
In 1950 a new system for the date coding was introduced where the two digits only indicated the year, not the quarter hence "50" means made in 1950, this system was used in the US until 1955 and in Canada a few years longer..
1950年又使用了一种新的代码系统,两位数字,但是只表示年份不表示季度,故而“50”表示1950年制造,这种代码系统在美国使用到1955年而在加拿大早一两年结束。
Beginning in 1970 Parker in France and the UK began marking some of their pens on the trim or cap bands to allow for dating. Using the words "Quality pen", one letter per year, followed by a quarter marker, allowing for dating within a ten year span. Parker used this system more and more and it was introduced in the US in 1979. The quarter marker changed in 1987 from ECLI to III,II,I or none (last quarter) according to the below table.
In 2000 the code again underwent a small change when the quarter switched sides with the year and there was a dot between them "Q.III"
1970年开始派克在法国和英国生产的笔身和笔帽装饰上进行日期标记。第一位每年依次使用“Quality pen”十个字母,后面是季度标记,可以在10年内使用。派克推广了此代码系统的运用,1979年开始在美国使用。其中季度代码1987年从ECLI变成了III,II,I和空白(第四季度),(位置也移到了年份代码的前面)如下表所示。
2000年代码系统再次做了小改变,季度代码移到了年份代码的后面并在两个代码中加上一个点(如Q.III)
