Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Parker 51 Vacumatic
Manufacturer and Year Parker USA - 1948 (the date code is hard to decipher, it looks like a "0" but that isn't possible, so we conclude it must be an "8.")
Length Full size - pen is 5-1/2"
Filling System Piston/plunger (Vacumatic) - We've fully restored it, and it's working well.
Color Dove Grey body with a sterling silver cap, Blue Diamond clip, and a pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib FINE gold nib.
Condition Excellent + condition with handwear on the barrel and light scratches on the sterling cap. The cap looks much better in person, with no dents or dinger, however our detailed photos are rather harsh. There is some plating wear on the corners of the clip and the edge of the gold plated ring around the cap jewel (see photos). Good color from section to barrel to blind cap, which isn't always the case with these dove grey P51s. Minor hand wear on the rest of the barrel leaves this pen still looking quite nice.
