PA3864 Parker 51 Custom Pencil.

Date: c1960s

Size: Length - 127mm.

A beautiful and excellent condition '51 Custom pencil.  I cannot see anydamage at all on this pencil; it appears to have been very well looked after.  The cap has a very nice clear grey top jewel and the short arrow rolled gold Parker pocket clip.  At the cap lip is a narrow polished band, and just above the band is the "PARKER" and "1/10 12ct R Gold" imprint with "MADE IN ENGLAND" below and the Parker arrow and halo symbol above.  This suggests that the pencil was made in the 1960s.  The whole cap is finished in rolled gold with the "converging lines" decoration.  At the point it is also rolled gold.  You can pull off the cap, and below is an apparently unused, though age-petrified pink eraser.  This is a retractable pencil - you twist the cap to wind the 0.9mm lead in and out.       

I have fully serviced this pencil.  I have fitted a new 0.9mm lead into the mechanism, and it is ready to go.  It works perfectly

A really lovely example of the 51 Custom pencil.
