Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored 1947 Parker 51 Vacumatic Fountain Pen with 1/8 14K Gold Filled Cap in the India Black color barrel. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now again in superb writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, collector, breather tube, hood, and barrel. I replaced the old diaphragm with a new, properly sized one. I have hand-cleaned the cap and arrow clip, clutch ring, and 14K Parker nib. I cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel and hood to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the material of the fountain pen. This Parker 51 is Full Size and measures 5 3/8" capped and 5 7/8" posted. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel.

This fountain pen cap, barrel, and hood are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The cap is extremely clean with no gold fill material loss. The cap is a 1/8 14K gold-filled type with a Split Arrow Clip. The clip displays minor wear at the top of the clip edge. The cap is clearly stamped with, "1/8 14K Gold Filled Made in U.S.A." on the cap lip. The barrel is stamped, "PARKER 51 Made in U.S.A. 7 date (for 1947) in the 2nd Quarter".  This cap is a proper style/type for this date code fountain pen, it was used on 1947 and 1948 Parker 51 Vacumatics.

This Parker 51 has a Vacumatic Filling System that has been rebuilt. 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 10-13 presses.

The Parker nib is 14K with the actual writing portion (iridium) of the nib measuring roughly .71mm when measured with digital calipers or a Medium nib point. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a fine to medium line. This has a stroke/line variation from .59mm to .64mm when measured 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 Parker Quink Blue Ink. 

This Parker 51 in India Black is gorgeous and the restoration came out wonderfully. It is a Classic Parker Pen that would make any Black Pen Society member a proud owner. I would consider this Parker to be in Excellent Condition. It is certainly ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
