Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's preferred fountain pen. I'm certainly never selling mine since its got a Royal Touch to it. You are so blessed to own one.
great pen.... I have several, love them all. The particulat one would be mid50's, I think it is a MK II. The original aerometrice had the "superchrome" engraved on theinstructions
Thank you for your excellent instructional video. I just received a nice 51 set (pen & pencil) that belonged to my brother who recently passed away. I want to order ink and use the pen.
I had one about twenty years ago and I did not know anything beside the fact that it was Parker and that was good enough for me. We did not have internet in schools and therefore I never knew the real name of it. And since we did not use computers and copying machines and typewriters in school we had to hand write all the notes and essays and everything else and I used one of these for couple of years because we were not allowed to use ballpoint pens because those were not good for your handwriting they told us. I still have one of these old pen sitting back home where I am from. And I believe it was my uncle's pen back in the day but I assume that same pen with the same nib was about thirty something years old last when I used it about twenty years back. I loved it. And I was the only kid in class who wrote with Parker. But I wonder if this pen is still in production and if not when was the last time they made it and if some are for sale, how much do those go for now? Thanks!
+tom, jones sadly, the Parker 51 has been out of production for a few decades. I've seen restored ones on Ebay go for as cheap as $150. You'll most likely pay a little more anywhere else. Either way, they really are great pens! They are by far "The Fountain Pen", besides the older Sheaffers such as the TD, Snorkel and PFM.
Tyler Fitzgerald I hope I find mine. Its sitting back home in a metal trunk. I left that place fourteen years back. Its still there that I know but hopefully someday I will get back and find it where I left it. Thanks for the info.
Tyler Fitzgerald so bad they've been out of production, they should be put again back on the market some day close same as they were just brain new fresh this tine from 2018. Writers from all over the world should make a petition about it. Seriously it is a great pen for it's simple cost. Why should I buy a Mont Blanc if I can by 5 or 6 of these brain new ones. And parker would profit a lot from it, people are historically buying used and restored ones and keeping them carefully ,such a shame they don't reproduce them again. Really!
Great review . Unlike other people , you use the camara to show the pen, not yourself. That is how it has to be done. There are other specialists that look like models! :) Great job, thank you.
Hi Nick, most are pen reviews so i show the pen. Its about the pen not me the pen is the star. However there are videos were i appear. Thank you for your comments.
As always, a pleasure to see your videos my friend. Love your accent by the way. Do you know if Aerometric Parker 51 pens ever had gold-filled caps with clips sporting the Parker word, like in the earlier Vacumatics? Just got hold of such a pen that was manufactured in Canada, but I've been under the impression that these caps predate the Aerometric versions.
Thank you for watching Guillermo im glad you enjoyed it. Yes the earlier vacumatic clips had the Parker name on them, i dont believe the aerometric had the name.
Grandmia Pens Well, to add to the confusion, mine has Parker inscription on clip, but no Diamond shape -which was the reason for the clip change due to the FTC ruling. It is an MK I version judging by the black cap on top of the Aerometric filler. It is an absolute joy of a pen! I have not disassembled it, since it's in working condition, but I did cleaned it throughly. When the time comes, I'll be following each and every step detailed on your awesome videos. Greetings from Mexico!
I have one of these but it doesn’t say Parker made in england on the top of the burgundy piece is there a version without this or could it have worn away the pen is in very good condition it belonged to a late uncle and has a very old looking original box
@@penkino1 thank you it’s something I’m maybe thinking of selling along with another vintage Parker slim fold that came with it do you have any idea what sort of value they have?
I’ve seen pens like this on EBay and the price seems way too low ($50-$70) but the price seems to good to be true. I’m not 100% if they are authentic and I need some advice.
You need to use heat to remove the breather tube, however it will occasionally break off in the feed. Take a look at my Parker 51 repair videos. Good luck.
Difficult to say without seeing the pen. The breather tube or collector maybe blocked with old dried ink. It would be best to totally disassemble the pen and clean all the parts thoroughly. Good luck.
@@penkino1 I've just had another crack at it. It's working again now! I think it just needed to get used to writing after being left idle for a bit. I'm guessing it's good practice to use it daily to keep it flowing well?
Always good to see a classic returned to its former glory. Great work horse pen. Thanks for sharing.
+chrisrap52 No problems, thanks for watching.
Parker 51 is the best pen I have ever seen!
Yes very popular pens the 51s. Cheers
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's preferred fountain pen.
I'm certainly never selling mine since its got a Royal Touch to it.
You are so blessed to own one.
Yes i believe she had a Parker 51. Keep enjoying yours. I own a lot more than one. Thanks
I am very much enthusiastic of Parker 51 fountain pen. I have many some are vintage but I like Parker 51 Delux with Gold Nib and Cap❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing! Keep enjoying your pens.
Just got this pen as a gift. Trying to learn all about it and how to restore. The more info the better. Great video!
Always impressed by the way you give those pen a second life. Magnificent.
+dren84 Thanks, yes i like to see these pens being used by some one for another 50 years.
Mine is brownish tan but was so glad to see the video ! Thanks
Beautiful pen
It really is! Thanks and stay safe.
@@penkino1 🙏🏽💞

Thats nice that you are using your late brothers pen, enjoy it. Thanks
I love the design of these pens. Mine is a 51 "special" (meaning it has a stainless steel nib) with a black barrel. It is a nice writer.
+Darold Booton The 51s are very popular and as you say they are lovely writers.

Enjoy your videos, I learn a lot from watching.
Thanks for watching Gary, if you learn a little then it was worth making them. Stay safe.
Perfection!
I do my best.
I have one of these.
Thats great Bobby, i hope you are using it. Thanks for watching.
I've seen there is a HERO one that looks like this one, as you say, lovely pens
+Raymundo Preciado Yes there is a Hero 51 look a like. Give me an original every time. Thanks
+Grandmia Pens I have the Hero copy and worked on the nib for ages to turn it into a nice writer. One day I'll splurge on a 51.
I found this exact pen through my grandpa stuff as he passed. I would like to restore this pen and I am wondering how do I do that ?
Thats nice to know. Im sure it has sentimental value thefore before you break the pen send it to a reputable repair person. Good luck
I received my first Parker 51 I bought on eBay today. In used condition but perfect working order.
Excellent, well done. Enjoy the pen.
How much is the price of this pen ??
As usual very informative video.
Do you have video on Parker VS
Glas you found it informative Viraj. I do not think so, but i do not recall.
I want this pen so badly
Why not get in touch if you want one. Thanks
Grandmia Pens How do I get in touch
Take a look at my "where do i get my pens" video. Thanks
peace be upon you stef i want to know the price of this parker 51
See previous reply.
As always, a pleasure to see your videos my friend. Love your accent by the way.

Yes Parker did have a early non diamond clip with the Parker name on it. Either way enjoy your pen. Thanks.
I have one of these but it doesn’t say Parker made in england on the top of the burgundy piece is there a version without this or could it have worn away the pen is in very good condition it belonged to a late uncle and has a very old looking original box
Some did not have an imprint and some may have worn. Either way enjoy the pen.
@@penkino1 thank you it’s something I’m maybe thinking of selling along with another vintage Parker slim fold that came with it do you have any idea what sort of value they have?
@@TheScholeys It all depends on the condition Mark, try searching on line for sold pens that will give you an idea.
Which ink you used sir?? Great video 👌👍. Love from India🇮🇳
I use vintage Parker Quink. Thanks for watching.
Not sure if you already know, but the nib isn't correctly aligned with the hood. Otherwise, great restore job!
Yes it was rectified, and the pen found a new home. Thanks.
I’ve seen pens like this on EBay and the price seems way too low ($50-$70) but the price seems to good to be true. I’m not 100% if they are authentic and I need some advice.
Invest a little more than you thought and buy a fully restored pen from a reputable dealer. On Ebay you pay your money and take a chance. Good luck.
What is the difference between Parker Major and Minor model???
They are just the names of the different models of pens.
Hi mate, thanks for the video. What ink would you recommend for these pens? I’m getting the wife one for Christmas. Cheers
Hi Dean, if its a Parker then i would recommend Parker Quink which i use on most of my pens. Why not treat her to one of my custom cap 51s . Thanks
Is there any way to remove the breather tube without breaking it inside the feed?
You need to use heat to remove the breather tube, however it will occasionally break off in the feed. Take a look at my Parker 51 repair videos. Good luck.
Grandmia Pens Thanks.I watched all of your videos and they are really helpful.
Where can I buy one
I have a nice 51 on my ebay at welcome2stay, go take a look. Thanks.
I will, Thanks.
No problem.
I have one of these, and I want to use it. Despite refilling numerous times and rinsing with warm water the ink doesn't seem to flow. Any tips?
Difficult to say without seeing the pen. The breather tube or collector maybe blocked with old dried ink. It would be best to totally disassemble the pen and clean all the parts thoroughly. Good luck.
@@penkino1 I've just had another crack at it. It's working again now! I think it just needed to get used to writing after being left idle for a bit. I'm guessing it's good practice to use it daily to keep it flowing well?
Well done with it. However if it has not been used for a while i would still recommend a good internal clean. Good luck with it.
@@penkino1 I know it would definitely benefit from it, but I'm too cautious about disassembling it! Thank you for the insight.
Como se puede pulir la parte de plástico de la P51? Gracias
Thank you.
Grandmia Pens ?....??
