PA3862 Parker 51 Aerometric Threesome. (Fine to Medium)

Date: c1960s

Size: Capped - 136mm; posted - 156mm.

A gorgeous English India Black Parker 51 fountain pen, ballpoint pen and pencil set.  All three pieces are in lovely condition - if I were to be very critical, the pencil has a couple of small marks to the end cone, and the ballpoint has very minor surface wear to the barrel.  Otherwise, everything is still bright and shiny.  The caps are beautifully frosted.  They all have clear grey top jewels and chrome-plated Parker arrow pocket clips.  

Fountain Pen

The barrel unscrews to reveal the Aerometric filler.  This is still in very nice condition with its original Pliglass ink sac.  The hood is glossy and also black.

Ballpoint

This is a cap-activated retractable ballpoint.  You press the cap to extend and retract the writing point.  It is fitted with a modern Parker refill which works perfectly.  The ballpoint pen works perfectly.

Pencil

The cap pulls off to reveal the original eraser, which has been barely used by the look of it, but is now rather petrified and hard.  There are a couple of 0.9mm leads beneath.  I have fitted a fresh 0.9mm lead into the mechanism.  This is a twist-operation pencil.  You twist the cap to wind the lead in and out.  The point is chrome plated.  

Each piece is working perfectly.  The pen writes very smoothly with a medium width nice wet line.
