Parker 51 (1948) Blue Diamond clip & Sterling Silver cap set

Old blog from the 2014 Thursday, December 25, 2014

I was lucky to find a special set in very nice condition.  This is a 1948 Parker 51 Pen and Pencil Set with silver caps.


Some of the neat things about this set:
 ·      It has Sterling Silver Caps.  The imprint shows in the pictures, they are in good shape.
·       It was made in the last quarter of 1948.  (See the picture with the tiny 8 on the barrel.)  This makes it one of the last 51 Vacumatics made, from ‘49’ on, the 51’s were aerometric.
·       A fine nib leaning toward medium..
·       A Blue Diamond clip even though this clip was discontinued in 1947, some were left over and used in 1948.  This  was the last year “Parker” was written on the clip.
·       Gold wash on the clutch
