Product Description
Type Vintage Fountain Pen
Product Name Parker 51 (from the Vacumatic era)
Manufacturer and Year Parker, USA -- 1940s, there is no date code.
We are not representing this as completely kosher. The lack of any imprint is one of the things that leads us to believe the mustard colored parts are reproductions. Upon close examination, you can see faint turning marks.
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Piston/plunger (vacumatic) system, which we have fully restored. It has the plastic plunger, which is correct for the model.
Color Mustard - a brownish yellow. 1/8 14k gold-filled cap with a pattern of parallel lines. Two pearlescent jewels, one at either end.
Nib Medium 14k nib is smooth with nice tipping.
Condition Superior condition. The jewels look great. There is light scratching on the barrel, with moderate scratching on the blind cap and section hood. The clip has some plating wear around the arrow end, and brassing along the sides. The cap tassie looks really good; the blind cap tassie has brassing. The cap has light wear and polishing marks, but no dents or dings. The cap imprint is clear. Fully restored and working well.
