Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored 1946 Parker 51 Double Jewel Fountain Pen in the Cordovan Color with 1/8 14K Gold Filled Cap. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, put back together, and is now in wonderful writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, collector, breather tube, hood, barrel, and NIB. Replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. Hand polished the 1/8 14K Gold Filled Cap & Gold Filled Arrow Blue Diamond Clip, Clutch Ring, Blind Cap Tassel and 14K Parker NIB. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, blind cap, and hood to bring back the vibrancy of fountain pen and to protect the plastic This Parker 51 measures 5 1/2" capped and 6 1/8" posted.

The fountain pen cap, barrel, blind cap, and hood are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. The cap is clearly stamped with, "1/8 14K GOLD FILLED MADE IN U.S.A.". The cap is in excellent condition with no dents or dings with the gold cap polished to shine brightly. The Blind Cap and Cap have the plastic pearlized jewels that have been polished to a high shine. The barrel is clearly stamped on two lines, "PARKER 51 MADE IN U.S.A. with date code 6, for 1946, in the third quarter". There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or the barrel.

I have tested the Vacumatic filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The filling system, typically in my tests with water, will fill nearly full in roughly 7 to 10 presses. The filling unit operates as it was originally intended to and smoothly.

The actual writing portion of the 14K Parker NIB has an Extra Fine point measuring roughly .41mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with an extra fine/fine to medium line. In the writing sample provided, the extra fine/fine line measures .44mm on the upward/downward strokes to a fine/medium line measuring .58mm when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanck Blue Ink.

This vintage Parker 51 Vacumatic Double Jewel Fountain Pen is clearly in magnificent condition. I would consider this Parker to grade in Excellent+ to  Near Mint Condition. It is ready to write or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
