Fine-medium nib, Lever fill system. |
£120.00 |
|
Price: £120.00 | |
This delightful vintage pen and pencil set was made by Waterman’s around 1925 in a “Ripple” finish which was particularly popular at the time - and remains so today. The fountain pen has a ring top. Advertisements of the time stated “These types are appropriate for women and conveniently carried on silk guards”, however they were also used by men to hang, for example, from their watch chain. A slim ribbon, chain or handbag clip will suffice today. The pen has one broad gold fill cap band (some plating wear)and a warranted 14k No.3 nib which is more of a fine than a medium point. The model number (52v) is stated on the barrel end. The pencil which, as with the pen, is in working order and recently serviced, has “Waterman’s” “Pat. Applied for” around the top with a slim gold fill band. It takes a 1.2mm diameter lead (Yard O’Led for example will suffice). There is some variation between the depth of colour of the pen and pencil – obviously one has been used more than the other over the years. The length of the pen is 11cm/pencil 10cm not including ring top. Overall they are in good condition and a fine set reminiscent of the 1920’s. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. A gift box is available free of charge on request. | |

Parker 51 - Wine with Lustraloy Cap | Stock number: 5161 |
 Click for a larger version of this picture. | |
Fine to Medium nib, Aerometric fill system. |
£95.00 |
|
Price: £95.00 | |
This vintage pen was made in England by Parker around 1955. Its aerodynamic design has made it a classic and the plaudits it has received over the years both in terms of design and reliability are well deserved. Its contribution to design is evidenced by its display in the Design Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York and it has been marketed as “51…the world’s most wanted pen”. This particular model has a wine body and the polished steel cap Parker termed “lustraloy”. The top of the cap has the Parker 51 pale grey “jewel” which has a good colour. The pen is in good condition overall and the Parker 51 nib has a fine-medium point. It measures 14cm with cap on and 15.2cm with cap on barrel end. The aerometric filling system is often termed "squeezebox" and is a very simple method of filling the pen with ink by unscrewing the barrel to expose a metal shell covering the ink sac - just press the metal bar and release up to five times and this vintage pen is ready to use. Parker 51’s are not only a collector’s item but also an excellent everyday workhorse. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. unless stated otherwise and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. Filling instructions will be sent with your order and a gift box is available free of charge on request. | |

This vintage pen was made in England by Parker, according to the barrel date, in the third quarter of 1953. Its aerodynamic design has made it a classic and the plaudits it has received over the years both in terms of design and reliability are well deserved. Its contribution to design is evidenced by its display in the Design Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York and it has been marketed as “51…the world’s most wanted pen”. This particular model has what Parker termed a Teal Blue coloured body (it is a cross between green and blue and slightly lighter than that shown in the picture) with a lustraloy cap. It is in good condition overall with some minor surface wear to body and a minor ding on the cap but this is reflectd in the price. The Parker 51 nib, stating Parker Made in England R.U. 1953, has a fine point. It measures 14cm with cap on and 15.2cm with cap on barrel end. The aerometric filling system is often termed "squeezebox" and is a very simple method of filling the pen with ink by unscrewing the barrel to expose a metal shell covering the ink sac - just press the metal bar and release up to five times and this vintage pen is ready to use.

Parker Newhaven Duofold Junior | Stock number: 1625 |
 Click for a larger version of this picture. | |
Medium nib, Button fill system. |
Sold |
This button filling Parker Duofold Junior fountain pen was made by their Newhaven, England factory in the early 1940’s. Although a similar model had been launched in America in 1931 (and called the “Streamlined Duofold”), the Newhaven version differed in that the barrel engraving was “Geo. S. Parker – Parker Duofold – Reg. TM” and they were fitted with either Newhaven nibs or Vacumatic nibs. This particular example has just those markings and a smooth medium point Parker Vacumatic nib which states “Parker Vacumatic W”. Some Newhaven colours differed from those available in America and included the normal rose and black marble but also a brown and black marble which is more rare. Whilst at first glance it is tempting to list this example as a brown and black marble – looking closely to the left of the barrel neck I believe a faded rose and black is a more honest assessment – nonetheless it is a pleasing colour. This is a small Parker measuring 11.5cm with cap on and 14.7cm with cap on barrel end. Condition is good with only minor age wear to the body and trim. An ideal vintage pen to use as an everyday writer. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. unless stated otherwise and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. Filling instructions will be sent with your order and a gift box is available free of charge on request.

Parker 51 Trio - Burgundy with Rolled Gold Trim | Stock number: 5339 |
 Click for a larger version of this picture. | |
Fine to Medium nib, Aerometric fill system. |
£248.00 |
|
Price: £248.00 | |
This Parker “51” Trio of vintage fountain pen, expel/repel pencil and ballpoint are all in working order. The “51” aerometric filling fountain pen was introduced by Parker in 1948. Its aerodynamic design made it a classic and the plaudits it received over the years both in terms of design and reliability are well deserved. Towards the end of the 50’s Parker extended the “51” range to include Trio sets of which this is a good example. They were understandably popular at the time. This particular trio has a wine coloured body a colour which Parker called “Burgundy”. They are all fitted with the Parker rolled gold cap. All three items are in good condition with only minor age wear, slightly more on the ballpoint as is to be expected and all are complete with unfaded cap jewels. The Parker 51 nib is a fine to medium smooth writer. The ballpoint takes modern Parker refills – you will note that the tip of the ballpoint is metal rather than rolled gold. The expel/repel pencil is in working order, however there is no longer access to the rubber contained inside the cap – this is reflected in price. It will take modern day replacement leads. The fountain pen measures 13.8cm with cap on and 15cm with cap on barrel end. The rotary pencil measures 12.5cm and the ballpoint 13cm. A good vintage writing trio to either add to give as a gift or for personal use as an everyday writing set for the home or office. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. unless advised otherwise and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. Filling instructions will be sent with your order. A gift box is available free of charge upon request. | |
