    Excellent video. In Argentina it is still possible to find old Parkers that were never released, including the first 51 models (which matched the automatic pencil) for little money. I also purchased a 61 capillary (fully gold plated) that had never been inked.
    We are rare people, collectors...
    Greetings from Buenos Aires.

    Thanks for this video! I was actually playing along at home with my 51, which has almost all the same characteristics (new-fangled clutch in the cap, black cap on the aerometric filler, rounded off back of the pen, but no 51 on the cap), so now I have a better idea of when it lands on the timeline.

    Dear Stef,
    Thank you for this video, which was a session of a school course, indeed. Not being competent enough as to launch myself into a real technical discussion, I would just underline some things that seem to be easy to notice.
    First of all, if this beautiful Fountain Pen is not entirely consistent as MKII, or MKIII, that wouldn't be an issue for two reasons:
    First, because Parker didn't step from MKII to MKIII at once, changing 100% the technical solution. Possibly it was phased out in the first stage the clutch ring inside the cap and later, in another stage of transformation, the clip.
    And, secondarily, this co-existence of elements belonging to different versions proves once more the technical accuracy and perfect match of the Parker 51 elements.
    The pen in the video is certainly a good writer, first because I cannot think of a person who ever found a bad working Parker 51 and second because it was manufactured in England, this being another warranty of the high quality.
    Well, now, although I am shy on saying that, I would say it though: What about the inner parts? Is it the breather tube long, or short? How does the collector and feed look like? If there are 'fingers' attached to the clutch ring inside the cap, is the clutch itself wide or narrow (I believe that in this variant, it lost its fixing role it had in the 'finger less' version).
    However, once again I feel like making precise that the technological transition from MKII to MKIII was most probably achieved in a gradual way, so, with the pen in the video, we could only make an inventory of the elements belonging to a version or another.
    I think that with all we could see without disassembling the pen we were entitled to make the statement that we have a beautiful never inked 'transition' Fountain Pen, placed somewhere between MKII and MKIII.
    Fortunately, as it was expected from a top Manufacturer like Parker (England) that 'transition' attribute did not diminish at all the quality of the pen and, in the eyes of a pen collector, could make it even more interesting than a 'purebred' Parker 51.
    Never mind, the subject is vast, so I need again to spend some time for re-viewing your videos on Parker 51 and learn!
    Thank you for the video and for the interesting prospective you opened with this Fountain Pen!
    Best Regards
    Anton-Mihai

    • @penkino1

      Dear Mr.Himura,
      Thank you so much for your words of appreciation! My main goal was to contribute by my comments in encouraging others to make comments as well. The idea was that, if a man like me, who doesn't know much about vintage Fountain Pens, could make comments accepted in this forum, then others could do the same, or better. Another thing I aimed at, was to show some ideas and feelings I have had and I use to have in present on my genuine handwriting pleasure.
      To be honest with you, I fear that if Stef's decision would be not to continue his pens activity, I would not have any place where to make comments (see, please the last of Stef's videos entitled ' Seasonal greetings for you all'). Sadly, if that dark prospective would come true, a balance factor I was based on inside my heart would disappear for an indefinite period of time.
      Well, if you enjoyed my comments, then, please, take into account that they were strongly inspired by Stef himself. That's to say, I very much doubt I could of made such comments for anyone else!
      Finaly, I would say that, if Stef would decide to continue, I would also continue to make comments on his videos and, of course, I would take care of making them more and more meaningful.
      Thank you for your message!
      Best Regards
      Anton-Mihai

    Of all the Parker Models, the 51 is the best, I think ! I have 2 pens that I keep safe. Both are Gold filled Caps. I use these only at home.

    Thanks Stef, I enjoyed this look at a Parker 51. May I also say your plum coloured Parker 51 is gorgeous! Going back to the teal blue coloured example, I feel just a little bit puzzled about it. Here we have a pen, as you said, made around the 1950's. So, it seems someone went and bought this pen over 60 years ago and it has never been used? It may possibly have changed ownership in those 60 years and the other owners didn't try it out either. To me, this seems such a waste of a fine writing instrument that could have told the story of its owners life. The pen could have written hundreds of letters, or signed many contracts. But no, it has been preserved in a box all this time. I suppose it must have belonged to a collector who wanted to keep it in perfect condition. A sad existence indeed for a beautiful pen.

    • @penkino1
      @penkino1  6 лет назад +2

      Hi David, i have had vintage pens that have never been inked before. Although your right that it is a little sad that it was never been used it is good for me to re sell this pen as near to perfect as you could find. Either way im sure it will find a good home and someone will enjoy the pen for the next 60 years.

    The Parker "51" website has both a chronology and a history under their "education" menu tab. Does anyone know how accurate their information is? If accurate, the chronology page is especially useful and would place this pen between 1965 and 1969.

    Hello! Noticed the tip of the pen has a Mk3 shape to it if I can say so? The Mk2 to me has a slightly more rounded shape and cut under the nib. The Mk3 from the pictures I see on the web seems to have a more pronounced and angular cut under the nib.. I don't mean the hole where the nib and feed come out through, I mean the shape of the plastic housing under the tip. I do not own an Mk3 so I can't compare them in real life, I could be wrong.. Anyway great channel!

    Hi Stef, another great video thanks. I’ve got two Parker pens that I haven’t seen anywhere and can’t anything about them on the net (one I think is a 21 but has a plunger like filling system, never seen on a Parker), I was hoping to show you maybe. What’s the best way to contact you. Also how can I purchase some of your restorations etc. Many thanks.

    Thank you for posting these videos on the Parker 51; I've been using them to guide me in getting my dad's old Parker 51 in working order (he used it in school in Carlisle in the 50s.)
    A question if I may, though: his pen seems to be a mishmash of different dates: the barrel (navy grey) is marked 'MADE IN USA 8' (1948?); the nib is 'MADE IN CANADA 1946'; the cap has a ring-style clutch, and is marked 'PARKER', '1/10 12K GOLD FILLED' (no '51' mark); the ink sac protector is like that of your plum pen (black knob on the end plus the 'press 4 times' instruction), which supposedly wasn't introduced until 1950?
    The pen itself is very, very worn (as he used it many years); I don't expect it to have any real monetary value, it's purely sentimental.

    • @penkino1
      @penkino1  4 года назад

      Yes occasionally we find a pen that seems a little odd, but it was not unusual for Parker to use parts that were available at the time. Or it maybe that some parts have been replaced. Either way enjoy it. Stay safe

      Thankyou for the video. "Enjoy the pen" is a great answer. Sentimental value and an Icon. I inherited my Grandmothers teal blue 51 twenty nine years ago, used regularly since and never done anything but put "Parker Blue Black" ink in it. Thanks for the video, it has the black stud on the filler and as I've just learnt from your "Plum 51 video", a frosted lustre alloy cap with the same jewel as your "Plum 51" / no markings on the top surface of the gold nib, I'm inspired to find out what I can. I use it because it works better than anything else I've used. Thanks again for the information. I also saw for the first time today "MADE IN ENGLAND 0" just above the collar. Never knew it was there. Would the "0" after ENGLAND with no dots be 50 or 60? Significance of no markings on the nib? "PARKER 51" on filler is in single line capitols as opposed to double lined capitols on your "Plum 51". ? The other difference is the cap is not polished below the PARKER underline.

    My father's 51 aerometric (Argentina made) is in desperate need of a new sac. Do you think it'll be safe to use, or should I put it away? I've recovered it after he passed away and I long to use it on an everyday (in rotation) basis, but due to its age (bought in 1957) I wonder if it'll withstand normal use.

    I have two English Parker 51 Aerometric FP, Teal Blue ( F nib) and Burgundy (M nib). But there are few differences.The Teal Blue has a small arrow clip ( 37 mm approx) and the Burgundy has a long arrow clip ( 42 mm approx). Both caps are marked with 'PARKER' and '1/10 12 ct R.Gold'. The '51' is not etched on the caps. The inner clutch cap is round in both cases. Not finger like as you show here. Clear imprint on Teal blue barrel and Burgundy barrel ( near the clutch ring) says ' PARKER - MADE IN ENGLAND' and ' PARKER - MADE IN ENGLAND .4' respectively.The end part of the sac protectors have black plastic trim in both cases. Can you help me to identify my models? Thanks.

    • @penkino1

      Hi Samba, it sounds like you have two Mk1 or standard Parker 51s with the standard type clutch inside the caps. The clip sizes may differ as one maybe a little earlier than the other. These did not have the 51 etched on the caps. Either way enjoy them. Stay safe.

    Is this '51 USA-made, or maybe English? I have an English-made Parker 51 which has the same characteristics (the clutch type, the gold-rolled cap with the 5 converging line sets, grey jewel and the nr. 51 on it), except mine is green, English racing green so to speak. ;-) With the help of a Parker 51 website I dated it to '58-'59. It mentioned these characteristics were typical for a series of pens from this short period. I could look it up for you again when needed.
