Description

We have for sale a very stylish late 1950s English Parker 51 Aerometric fountain pen.

This Parker 51 fountain pen is in the very attractive burgundy with a short clip Lustraloy cap and dates from sometime around 1958 when the polished stainless steel Aerometric filler sleeve and halo Parker trade mark was introduced. The barrel, shell and cap are all in a very good vintage condition although there is the surface wear one would expect from a well looked after 60 year old pen. The pen has been serviced and is fitted with its original medium 14ct nib which is in an excellent condition. The pen fills and writes well.

The Parker 51 was first introduced in 1941 as a resilient, stylish and dependable pen. The first examples were fitted with the Vacumatic filling system, but this was upgraded in the early 1950s to the much more sturdy plastic Pli-glass Aerometric filling system.

The pen is 137mm long.
