Date: c1950s
Size: Capped - 140mm; posted - 154mm.
An English burgundy Parker 51 Aerometric that is still in excellent condition. There are no splits, cracks, chips with just a little bit of fogging on the grey top jewel being the only damage that I can see on this pen. The cap body still has most of its frosting intact and looks the part. Around the cap lip is the imprint, showing just "PARKER". The cap has a chrome plated pocket clip. The barrel and hood are still glossy with no noticeable scratches or any other damage. The lovely 14 carat gold hooded nib is in a fine point. Unscrewing the barrel, the Aerometric filler is made from brushed stainless steel and unmarked by damage. The original pliglass ink sac is still fitted and is still in perfectly serviceable condition.
I have fully serviced this pen. The fine point nib feels very smooth on paper, and writes with a very pleasing wet and consistent line.
