Description from the seller
A0000001627P14
This Parker 51 Gold Filled, manufactured in the United States, is in excellent condition, combining elegance, history, and functional perfection.
The 14-karat gold plated finish exhibits a uniform and deep shine, with warm reflections characteristic of this premium model. The finely engraved vertical lines remain sharp and continuous, with no loss of detail or signs of structural wear.
The engraving '1/10 14K GOLD FILLED – MADE IN U.S.A.' remains perfectly visible and clean, confirming its authenticity and original manufacturing from the mid-20th century.
Body and cap
The body, made of brass plated in 14K gold (1/10), retains a polished and shiny surface, free of dents, deep scratches, or dull areas.
The cap, with linear vertical engraving, fits firmly and securely with a snap closure, demonstrating precise mechanics without any play.
The arrow-shaped clip, 'Arrow Clip', emblem of Parker, maintains its perfect alignment and keeps the original gold finish intact, with no signs of bending or deterioration.
Section and nib
The grip section, made of high-gloss black resin, is in impeccable condition, with no cracks or wear.
The semi-hooded nib made of 14-karat solid gold remains in excellent condition, with no deformations, a perfectly symmetrical tip, and a steady ink flow.
Its performance is smooth, consistent, and quiet, offering a precise writing experience characteristic of the Parker 51's sealed feeding system.
Charging system
Equipped with the reliable Aerometric system, this part keeps its internal bag flexible and clean, ensuring effective ink loading.
The inner metal protector retains the original inscription “TO FILL – PRESS BAR 4 TIMES,” indicating its authenticity and that the mechanical assembly has not been replaced or modified.
Aesthetic appearance
The combination of the fully gold body with black details and the iconic arrow-shaped clip creates an elegant and timeless contrast.
It is a model that conveys sophistication, status, and refinement, both in display and use.
The aerodynamic profile remains, to this day, a benchmark in modern industrial design.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
