Product Description
Type Aerometric filling fountain pen, working well.
Product Name Parker 51
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in U.S.A. -- 1954-64 (There is no imprint or date code but we can narrow it down to this date range from the information on the cap).
Length 5-7/16 inches, full size.
Filling System Aerometric squeeze filling system. We've cleaned and tested it, it's working well.
Color Cocoa body with a 1/10 12k gold filled converging lines patterned cap. It has an arrow clip and a pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib MEDIUM gold nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. (This nib is the equivalent of a modern fine.)
Condition Excellent condition. The barrel has no discoloration but it does have a shallow and hard to see dent to the right of the clip. Since the dent is right on the lines, it's not really obvious though it can be found. The cap has some other handwear marks and some trace amounts of plating wear while the barrel looks really nice. It's working very well.
