Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil working well
Product Name Parker 51
Manufacturer and Year Parker, Made in USA - 1940s (we can't see a date code, but it's possible that the imprint has just worn away, and sometimes pencils didn't have imprints).
Length 5-3/16"
Filling System It takes 0.9mm (or "thin") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. We'll include a small pack of leads with the pencil.
Color Cedar Blue barrel with a 1/10 16k gold filled parallel lines cap in a pattern of groups of 4 even lines up it, with gold plated trim and a pearlescent cap jewel and a split arrow clip.
Condition Excellent condition. Some small scratches on the barrel. The color appears to have darkened a bit and looks black in low lighting. There's some plating wear on the edges of the clip. There's some light wear on the cone as well, but no brassing. It's working well, with no cracks or dents. It has been personalized, "Carr E. Bentel."The cap has been polished since photographed and is much shinier. The clip also looks much improved.
