One of the most enduring, long lasting and classic writing implements ever created. The Parker 51 is a real workhorse of a writing implement and you will never tire of writing with a proper pen link these. Old or new, you should have a Parker 51.

The Parker 51 is one of (if not the) most successful fountain pens ever created. It first appeared in about the 1950s and stopped being made in the 1980's but has been revived a few times.

I have had at least 30 different fountain pens and cannot write properly with anything else. The Parker 51 is one of the best ever.

It is smooth, reliable and has a great feel. You will still find great examples for sale on Ebay or in antique markets (there are some sites selling them too).

The glorious Parker 51 actually went into production officially in 1941, although there was an effort to get them out earlier. The 1941 pens are considered the first year pens and command a premium price, according to color.

I own a first year, a 1946, 1948 and a 1944. I much prefer the war years pens. They are wonderful writers and solidly build. They write every time you pick them up and put them to paper --- which is much more than can be said for most fountain pens.
