Product Description
Type Vintage vacumatic filling fountain pen, restored and working well.
Product Name Parker 51 Vacumatic.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- there is no date code on this one, we guess it was probably polished off.
Length 5-1/2 inches.
Filling System Piston/plunger (Vacumatic). We've fully restored the filling system with a new diaphragm and it's working perfectly.
Color Grey body with a brushed steel "Lustraloy" cap, a gold filled blue diamond clip, and a pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib MEDIUM hooded 14k gold nib is smooth and firm with good tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks, chips, or personalization. There is a small dent on the cap a little higher than midway. There are small bits of brassing on the clip ring around the jewel and a little hand wear on the barrel and cap. Otherwise the cap looks pretty good and the barrel in particular has a nice shiney look. The pen has been fully restored and it's working very well.
