~FS~ Four Vintage Demi 51's ~

[Michael McNeil]

Rules and other info at the bottom.

 

Demi #1. 1948 Parker Demi set in Dove Gray, with Lustraloy caps. This

is a late Vacumatic fill pen set with chromed Aero style clips. The

pencil is a twist type. I have the original box, it is not in the best

condition. The pencil is in working condition, but it has some crazing

just above the cone. It is very difficult to see without magnification.

The caps have some micro scratches, but retain their original frosty

appearance. No dents. The nib in the pen is a wet writing Extra Fine

14K and lays down a nice dark line. The set appears to have had very

little use. The condition is Excellent, with the exception of the

crazing on the pencil barrel.

 

Price reduced to $125.00 post paid in the Con. U.S.

Demi #2. 1950’s Parker “51” demi Aerometric fill, in Teal Blue,

with

converging line gold filled cap. The cap has about a half dozen dings,

here and there, but it would be a good “daily user”. The cap has no

brassing, but there is a very thin line down the ridge of the clip. The

nib is an Extra Fine 14K. Another pen collector did a nice job

repairing a crack in the barrel, where it meets the clutch ring, which

I did not notice until I started polishing the barrel. Opps! :-) The

condition is Very Good.

Demi #3. Parker “51” debutante Aerometric fill in gray. This is the

later style Aerometric with the osmiridium nib and the pressure bar

that goes over the end of the ink sac. The cap has a rubbed spot next

to thefeathers on the clip some small scratches here and there, but is still

nice and “frosty” in appearance and there are no dents! The nib is

a nice, very smooth writing Fine. Sometimes I call ‘em “Ultra Smooth”,

depending on my mood and how they feel on paper. Very smooth fit my

mood today. Condition Very Good plus.

Demi #4. 1949 Parker 51 demi in black with gold filled cap, converging

5 line pattern. This is a very nice example of a demi 51. The only

brassing I can see is on the ridge of the arrowhead tip of the pocket

clip. There are some typical spots of corrosion on the ink sac cover

tube, most of which are pictured. There are no dents or scratches. The

pen fills and writes well. The nib is a smooth Fine 14K. Small inside

pokets in your tuxedo? This might be the pen! The condition is

Excellent.

Prices are post paid in the U.S. and Canada, and will be

shipped with delivery confirmation and insurance. I also ship

internationally, if you pay the price difference between U.S.

shipping and international. It’s not a large difference in most

cases.

 

The usual rules apply, the person sending the first e-mail on an item

~stating intent to purchase~ gets the item, don't assume the item has

been sold, they don't always sell immediately. I'll give you 3 days

to decide if you like the pen or not. I accept PayPal, check or money

order. All pens will be shipped U.S. Priority Mail with insurance and

delivery confirmation. I ship worldwide, so international customers

are always welcome.

 

All pens have been restored inside and outside, nibs adjusted and

smoothened, when necessary, clips tightened, etc. I give a lot of

attention to minute details on a pen, that some would not notice.

It's just my own obsessive behavior, which is good for you, the buyer.

The pencils have been restored outside, and are in good working

condition unless stated otherwise. The pens are ink tested, so I know,

and you can be assured, that they are actually functioning properly. If

you would like, you can view my grading system on this page:
