Parker 51 Aerometric (Black with gold converging lines cap)

Shipping calculated at checkout.


Introduced in 1941 and produced into 1972 the Parker 51 was designed to take the fountain pen into the "modern" era and compete with the introduction of the ball point. The hooded design and durable materials allowed Parker to use the quick drying Parker Superchrome while also allowing users to leave the pen uncapped for longer periods of time.

 

This particular example is a black Aerometric with a gold cap engraved with the converging lines pattern. The pen was made in England with a date code corresponding to 1944.
