Product Description
Type Vintage aerometric filling fountain pen, working well.
Product Name Parker "51" Aerometric.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA – made after 1952 (they stopped putting date codes on their pens in that year).
Length 5-7/16 inches.
Filling System Aerometric squeeze filling system. We've tested it thoroughly and it's working very well. It's marked Parker "51" Special.
Color Cocoa with gold filled cap with a pattern of converging, gold plated trim, a short arrow clip, and a pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib MEDIUM-FINE gold nib is in nice condition, firm and smooth with great tipping material. This nib was probably originally considered a medium, but mediums from this era are much finer than modern, so we feel calling this a medium-fine will set the proper expectations.
Condition Superior condition. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization. There's light handwear on the cap and barrel, but the pen still looks very sharp. There's a few dots of corrosion on the filling system. The pen is working very well.
