Product Description
Type Vintage vacumatic filling fountain pen.
Product Name Parker 51 Vacumatic.
Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA - 1945 (imprint shows a 5).
Length Full size, 5-1/2".
Filling System Piston/plunger (Vacumatic) system. We have fully restored it and it's working very well.
Color Dove grey body with a 1/10 16k gold filled cap with a pattern of parallel lines in groups of 4 and a blue diamond gold filled clip (blue paint is very good). Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib FINE gold nib.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautiful, shiny pen in a lovely color pattern and that is elegant. The barrel looks quite nice with mostly very light scratching although there is one small area where there are a number of long, thin scratch lines near the end (probably caused by posting). The cap has light microscratching with a few small flecks of pitting here and there. The blue diamond has good color and is fully intact. The pearlized jewel is excellent. The imprints are very clear.
The barrel was previously engraved, but we have removed it. We take care not to create a "saddle" so it is nearly impossible to detect the engraving.
