Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil with the "repeater" mechanism.
Product Name Parker "51" Pencil, demi size.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1950 (the date code 50 is marked on the barrel under the cap piece).
Length Demi size pencil, 4-3/4"
Filling System Takes 0.9mm (or "thin") leads, which it extends via the cap-actuated, or "repeater" mechanism - you click the cap down to extend a lead, very similar to modern day mechanical pencils. The mechanism is working very well. We'll include a small packet of leads.
Color Black with a 1/10 12k gold-filled cap, the arrow clip and a pearlescent cap jewel. There's a converging lines pattern on the cap.
Condition Excellent condition. There's some very light scratching and handwear on the barrel, as well as light scratching on the cap and trim. The clip is brassed, and there are some scratches on the tip. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. The imprint under the cap piece is slightly worn but easily readable. The pencil is working very well.
