Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Very Rare 1945 Parker 51 Double Jewel Fountain Pen and Pencil set with the 14K green and pink gold two-tone "Empire" cap in the Yellowstone color. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, ultrasonically cleaned, put back together, and is now in great writing condition. This is a spectacular set!

For those that do not understand the scarcity of this set it is due to the 14K Empire Caps. They are one of the most recognizable and desirable of all the Parker 51s caps. 

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, collector, hood, and breather tube. I have replaced the old rubber diaphragm with a new one. This Parker 51 fountain pen measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 6" posted. The pencil measures 5 1/8" in length

The fountain pen cap, barrel, and hood are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The pencil also displays no chips, cracks, or repairs. The 14K Gold Empire Caps are the two-tone green and pink gold type with no denting, just some very minor scratching that is less commensurate with the age of the pen and pencil. The Parker clip is the Blue Diamond style and is also stamped 14K. The barrel is very clean, again with no damage or repairs. The clutch ring retains the gold wash centering. The cap is stamped with, "14K GOLD MADE IN U.S.A.". The barrel is stamped clearly on two lines with, "PARKER 51 MADE IN THE U.S.A. with a date 5 (for 1945) in the 1st Quarter". There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel to either the pen or pencil.

The Vacumatic Filling System has been completely restored and works wonderfully. When testing the Filling System with water - roughly 5-7 presses and the filling unit will nearly fill. The filling unit operates as it was originally intended to and without issue.

The actual writing portion of the 14K Parker NIB has a fine point measuring roughly .53mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with an extra fine line of approximately .42mm on the horizontal strokes to a fine/medium .59mm on the downward strokes 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 Parker Quink Blue-Black Ink. The nib writes very well for being a fine nib.

This set comes in the Parker 51 Box. The box is in fine condition with some wear to the lining. 

This Parker 51 Double Jewel Fountain Pen with Empire Cap is pretty incredible. I would consider this set in Excellent Condition. This is a GRAIL Parker 51 due to the 14K Empire Caps and having one of the more difficult colors to find for a 51 in the Yellowstone color. This Parker 51 set is ready to write or add it to your prized writing arsenal collection.
