PA3644 Parker 51 Aerometric, boxed. (Fine)
Date: c1950s
Size: Capped - 139mm; posted - 150mm.
This 1950s Teal Blue/Green Parker 51 is in excellent condition with no damage at all on it as far as I can see. There are no splits, cracks, chips and no noticeable scratches to either cap or barrel/hood. The cap body exhibits the lovely delicate frosting that you'd expect to see on these Parker 51 pens. The grey cap top jewel is clear with no chips or cracks. 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 and in the rather lovely teal colour. The lovely 14 carat gold hooded nib is in a fine point. Unscrewing the barrel, the Aerometric filler is made from polished stainless steel and unmarked by damage. The original pliglass ink sac is still fitted and is still in perfectly serviceable condition. The box is quite a bit later in date than the pen but I bought them together so I will keep them together. Inside the box is the original instruction sheet so if nothing else, the box has kept the two items together.
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..
