Parker "51" Cordovan Brown Vacumatic

Here is a Cordovan brown Parker "51" that was manufactured in the first quarter of 1947.
The pen is in overall good shape, there are no personalizations, dings, chips or scrapes in the pen.
The cap does have some wear on the top of the clip, and there is a faint "smile" from where a loose clip has rubbed the cap.

The nib is a smooth medium nib, and writes with a medium wetness.

It has been fully restored and tested for functionality.

This pen is only $75 + $5.80 for shipping in the U.S.

There is a one year workmanship warranty on my pens. If there are any issues with my workmanship- such as the sac- I will fix it. This does not include problems from user error such as bad pen hygiene, the buyer disassembling the pen, issues with the mechanics or materials of the pen, the buyer dropping the pen, user error or any other issue by my own discretion.
In the U.S. I use Priority mail flat rate boxes for my pens because they come with tracking and $50 worth of insurance. If you want a different method, please contact me.
International buyers, please contact for shipping quote.

Please don't hesitate to contact me at  wkkimball043@gmail.com regarding more information or pictures!
First "I'll take it" gets the pen, regardless of other conversations.

Parker 21 For Sale

Parker 21 fountain pen.

Designed to capitalize on the aesthetics of its big brother, the Parker "51" while being cheaper,  this pen is one that seems to be overlooked in my opinion. 

If someone were to ask me what the perfect starter vintage pen would be, this or the lowly Sheaffer School pen would be my to first recommendations, depending on the look the person prefers. 

A great writer, and one dependable pen this is a *great* daily writer or take to work pen. Inexpensive enough, but a solid performer day in and day out. 

Parker Striped Duofold Blue 1942 3rd Quarter

1942 third quarter Blue Parker Striped Duofold. 
The pen performs is a very nice writer, one that I used personally for a while. 
I would definitely say that it is in user-grade condition. 
The cap band is brassed and loose, and the clip is brassed as well. The barrel is transparent, but it is well ambered. The bling cap threads are a bit worn, and it will snap if you tighten down the bling cap too much. 
None of these things are really as bad as they sound, but I believe in full disclosure.

I have fully gone through the pen and it has a new diaphragm and is ready to use and a knockabout pen. One that you can use and abuse and not have to worry about messing it up, while still having the pleasure of writing with a 72 year old pen.
