PA3704 Parker 51 Aerometric. (Medium)
Date: c1950s
Size: Capped - 140mm; posted - 157mm.
A glossy teal blue English Parker 51 Aerometric. The barrel and hood look to be undamaged with no splits, cracks or chips and no noticeable surface scratches either. The cap is also in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches, and no dings either. The only thing I would mention is a slight clip mark in the cap's frosting. This is shown in the photos below. The cap has a chrome plated arrow pocket clip depending from the tassie that surrounds a semi-translucent grey jewel. The undamaged 14-carat hooded nib is in a medium point. Unscrew the barrel to expose the aerometric filler. This is brushed stainless steel, and is still in excellent condition. The original pli-glass ink sac is still in perfectly serviceable condition, and likely will still be in another 50 years' time.
I have fully serviced this pen. It writes very well with the very smooth, wet and medium width line that you would expect of a Parker 51.
