Product Description
Type Fountain pen and mechanical pencil set in good working order.
Product Name Parker 51 Aerometric
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - 1951 (the date code 51 is clear on both pen and pencil).
Length Full size. Pen is 5-7/16" pencil is 5-3/16".
Filling System The pen has an Aerometric squeeze filling system. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads which it extends via the cap actuated system which is gravity fed (you press the cap down like on modern mechanical pencils, only there is no real pushing mechanism, so the pencil has to be right-side-up for lead to extend). We'll include a small packet of leads.
Color Navy Grey colored bodies with 1/10 12k gold filled caps in a pattern of converging lines, with standard arrow clips. Pearlescent cap jewels. The pencil has a chrome plated tip.
Nib FINE gold nib is in nice condition, smooth with good tipping material.
Condition Very nice condition. No cracks or chips, no personalization. There are a few small, light dents in the cap of both pen and pencil (see photos below), as well as small spots of brassing on the ridges of the pen's clip and on the pencil's cap lip. There are a few small scratches and marks and light wear on the barrels, and on the pen's section, as well as a few tiny indents in the pencil's cone. The imprints are a little worn, but you can see the date code clearly on both, and the pencil's is readable. Both pieces are working very well.
