Description.

This is a lovely example of the desirable Parker 51 Double Jewel Vacumatic. The double jewel pens were only made in the USA between 1943 and 1947 and were fitted with the famous Blue Diamond clip signifying Parkers lifetime warranty. 

This is a lovely example, finished in Classic Black with a Rolled Gold Cap. The cap is the less common fully lined version. The Blue Diamond clip and the top and bottom tassies are gold filled with the original jewels still present. The barrel imprint is worn but the date code is visible, the date code is 8 for 1948 so this will have been one of the last ones made as parts were used up ready for the introduction of the MkII single jewel Vacumatics.

The vacumatic filling system has been fully serviced and a new diaphragm has been fitted. The nib is a Fine and the pen writes smoothly. The condition is good with some marks on the cap and barrel and a little plating wear to the clip. This is a lovely pen, desirable because of its history and rarity.

Condition: Grade B
