Parker - 51 - No Reserve Price - Fountain pen

We present a Parker 51 Vacumatic, an iconic piece of American fine writing, recognized for its timeless design and technical excellence that defined a whole generation of writing instruments. This example features a cap with 1/8 12K Gold Filled and a body in deep black resin, achieving an elegant contrast characteristic of the most distinguished editions of the model.

The cap, made of gold-filled laminate, is in a remarkable aesthetic condition, retaining the characteristic vertical pattern of fine lines and the iconic arrow-shaped clip. The inscriptions '1/8 12K Gold Filled – Made in U.S.A.' are perfectly defined, confirming its authenticity and American origin. The gold finish appears uniform, with slight signs of use typical of a vintage piece, but without compromising its presence or structural integrity.

The dark blue resin body retains a clean and deep shine, free of cracks or discoloration. Its classic silhouette remains intact, maintaining the original ergonomics that characterize the Parker 51 as one of the most comfortable pens for prolonged writing.

The nib, with a hidden tubular design, shows a well-aligned tip without visible deformations. The pen retains the essence of the Vacumatic system, one of the loading mechanisms most valued by collectors due to its capacity and smooth operation. While its functionality appears complete, a preventive review is always recommended given the historical nature of the mechanism.

Overall, this piece represents an elegant, authentic, and well-preserved item, ideal for collectors, executives, and connoisseurs seeking to add a Parker 51 with presence, history, and an aesthetic that has transcended decades without losing relevance to their collection.

It is an opportunity to acquire a classic piece in excellent overall condition, with all the characteristic elements that make it a benchmark in the world of fine writing.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
