Product Description
Type Mechanical pencil
Product Name Parker 51
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA, 1940 ... this is a first version. (The first year pencils had a smooth plastic gripping area vs lined.)
Length Full size pencil - 5-1/4"
Filling System Uses 0.9mm leads, which it extends by twisting the cap. We'll include a small packette of vintage leads.
Color Black with a 1/10 14k gold filled cap. The jewel is black, which probably indicates it is a replacement of what might have been an aluminum jewel originally.
Condition Excellent condition. There is handwear on the barrel, and on the cap. A little brassing on the clip arrow. No dents or dings. The pencil is working perfectly (the eraser is dried out and hard). The imprint is clear and readable. Personalized with "CPP" on the cap cartouche.
