Double your pen-collecting pleasure with this silver-capped black Parker 51 pen and pencil set from 1944! The vintage pen has been fully restored with a new diaphragm; the pencil is inopperable as far as we can tell. Each vintage writing instrument is engraved "George S. Flaherty." The 14K nib writes a smooth medium to medium-broad line. The Vacumatic pump is clear yellow plastic. The blind cap closes flush. There is surface wear from daily use, and the imprint is feint. The sterling silver cap on the Parker 51 has had its dents treated, but there is still a little surface wear. The blue diamond clip is on tight and doesn't spin. 13.8 cm capped.

Looks are deceiving sometimes, as this vintage Parker 51 actually has uniform color when you look at it in person. In the photo, the deep blue barrel looks darker than the hood and blind cap, but in person we can't detect any difference. This vintage pen has been fully restored with a new diaphragm. The plunger appears to have been a clear plastic, now slightly yellowed. The sterling silver Parker 51 cap has likewise been restored with all of the significant dents removed. The golden blue diamond clip is on tight. This Parker 51 appears not to have any imprint or date code. Light surface wear is present, and the blind cap is a little out of alignment. The 14K nib writes a smooth medium line. The clutch ring is of the two-tone variety. 13.8cm capped.

Want a fine sample of the Parker 51, this one is sterling. Well, at least the cap is sterling silver. It's also a good writer with a wet, smooth medium line. The diaphragm has been replaced and the vintage pen is fully restored. Cosmetically this old fountain pen is great except for the little scar visible in the photo on the hood, a little scuff on the blind tail cap and the fact that the blind cap no longer seems to want to align flush with the body. The silver cap shows a little wear, but the dents and dings have been pushed out and restored. There is a thin line circling the cap where it meets the bottom of the golden blue diamond Parker clip, but the clip is now tightly secured. 13.8 cm capped.

Set your eyes upon one of the most beautiful Parker 51s we've ever offered. The remarkable cordova brown (slightly darker on the hood) body is in excellent condition. It sports a two-tone clutch ring and has a 16k gold-fill cap. That cap is topped off with a rare "amber" jewel. The strong imprint marks this as a model from 1948. The only blemish on the cap is so tiny, it must glint just right off the light. Otherwise it is imperceptible. The vacuum filler is restored, and the 14k nib writes a fine line. 14 cm capped.

Straight from 1947 is this black Parker 51 with a 16k gold-fill cap. The cap only has one minor ding to the right of the blue-diamond pocket clip. However, there are several deep scratches in the barrel near the fully restored vacuum filler that can be seen in the primary picture above. There also is a chip in the middle of the barrel, as seen in the secondary photo. There are no leaks, just blemishes. The 14k nib is rather "stiff" and writes a fine-medium line. 14 cm capped.
