Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored First Year Production 1941 Parker 51 Double Jewel Fountain Pen in Cedar Blue Color with 1st Year Wedding Band 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. 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.

This fountain pen cap, barrel, blind cap and hood are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. The Lustraloy Wedding Band Cap has the Gold Filled Blue Diamond Clip that has been polished and displays no wear. The cap has no dents and very little light scratches, way below average considering the age of the cap. The blind cap tassie has two minor pinhead dings. The blind cap and cap have the aluminum jewels which 1st Year Parker 51s had. The blind cap is imprint is nearly worn away with all that can be made out is, "PA in 'Parker" and 'USA" with no date code able to be seen". The clutch ring still retains displays some of the gold plating.

I have tested the Vacumatic Speedline 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 to 13 presses. I have greased the Speedline pump and now operates as it was intended to and very smoothly.

The Parker NIB is 14K and writes extremely smooth! The actual writing portion (iridium) of the 14K Parker NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .65mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a medium stroke. In the writing sample provided, the medium line measures between .60mm to .63mm 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 Blue Ink. The nib on this Parker 51 writes very smoothly.

This vintage Parker 51 Vacumatic Fountain Pen is a first-year production pen and is one for the collector cabinet. I would consider this Parker to be in Very Fine+ to Excellent Condition. It is ready to write or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.

NOTE: There is no blind cap/barrel/hood discoloration - the reflection of the camera body may give the appearance the color is not matching, but I will assure the color is matching across the pen hood, barrel, and blind cap.
