Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this restored 1947 Parker 51 Vacumatic Blue Diamond Double Jewel Fountain Pen and Pencil set in the hard-to-find Nassau Green color with 1/10 14K Gold Filled Caps. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, put back together, and is now in wonderful writing condition. This set is "clean as a whistle" with no dings, dents, gold fill lost, or repairs, and I consider it in Near Mint+ to Mint 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 1/10 14K Gold Filled Caps & Gold Filled Arrow Blue Diamond Clip, Clutch Ring, Blind Cap Tassie, and 14K Parker NIB. I cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrels, blind cap, and hood to bring back the vibrancy of the fountain pen & pencil and to protect the plastic. This Parker 51 Fountain Pen measures 5 1/2" capped and 6 1/8" posted. The pencil measures 5 1/8" inches in length.

The fountain pen & pencil caps, barrel, blind cap, and hood are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The cap is clearly stamped with, "1/10 14K GOLD FILLED MADE IN U.S.A.". The caps are in excellent condition with no dents, gold fill wear, or dings. The Blind Cap and Cap have the plastic pearlized jewels that have been polished to a high shine. The barrel is clearly and crisply stamped on two lines, "PARKER 51 MADE IN U.S.A. with date code 7, for 1947, in the second quarter". There are no monograms or personalizations to either the fountain pen or pencil caps, or the barrels. 

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.

This Parker 51 nib is an extremely smooth writing nib. The iridium portion of the 14K Parker nib has a medium point measuring roughly .72mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a smooth medium line. In the writing sample provided, the medium line measures between .65mm to .68mm 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 Montblanc Midnight Blue Ink. 

The pen is a twist-activated type. The lean will propel and repel back into the barrel as it was designed to. I have a stick of 0.9mm lead in the pencil for you to use. The original eraser is on the pencil and has never been used. 

The set comes in a very clean Parker 51 box with no ink stains. Note the Parker 51 gold foil label on the ribbon - that is securely intact, which we typically do not see in this day for a Parker 51 box. 

This vintage Parker 51 Vacumatic Fountain Pen & Pencil are a scarce color, Nassau Green, to add to one's collection. I would consider this Parker to grade in Near Mint+ to Mint Condition. It is ready to write or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
