This vintage Parker 51 Fountain Pen is a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts of timeless writing instruments. It has a black lucite barrel and a rolled gold cap, marked 1/10 12 ct rolled gold. Estimated to be purchased in the late 50’s/60’s.With its medium-sized nib and elegant gold top, this pre-loved pen exudes classic sophistication. The absence of personalised touches adds to its timeless appeal, making it a versatile piece that can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates the beauty of fountain pens. It has onyx end to the gold top. It has been a used pen, but still collectible, and I have not cleaned it up, in case any collector wants to restore it in the way they would prefer. No ink in it at the moment. It has a transparent section in the barrel so you can see levels. The top has a little brassing and the tiniest dint on the opposite side of the gold top to that of the Parker arrow.
