Product Description
Type Aerometric-filling fountain pen and mechanical pencil in original box.
Product Name Parker 51 Aerometric
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA – 1948 (the date code is clear on both pen and pencil).
Length Fountain pen is 5-7/16", mechanical pencil is barely under 5-1/4".
Filling System The pen is an Aerometric, squeeze filler. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads, which it extends via the cap-actuated, repeater mechanism (you click the cap piece down to extend the lead, just like modern mechanical pencils only it's gravity fed).
Color Forrest Green with stainless steel Lustraloy caps, chrome trim, and arrow clips. Pearlescent cap jewels.
Nib MEDIUM 14k nib is firm and smooth with nice tipping material.
Condition Excellent near mint condition. There are just some very light microscratches here and there, a few very light marks on the caps, and just a tiny bit of light roughness on the chrome ring around the pen's cap jewel. No dents or dings, cracks or chips, or personalization. Both pieces are working well and will ship in their original box. The pen's sac is very clean and unstained. (The light marks you see on both barrels is just a reflection.)
