The Parker 51 Fountain Pen
The Parker 51 is probably one of the most famous and recognisable fountain pens ever produced, in fact at one stage
the Parker 51 fountain pen was declared as the Worlds most wanted pen.
The “51″ name was given to the pen in 1939 to cellebrate the company’s 51 years, the “51″ was also given to the ink,
another reason for a number name was that it circumvented the problem of translating a name into other languages.

After many tweeks the Parker 51 fountain pen continued being made till 1972, the biggest change being the improved Aeromatic filling system
The parker 51 fountain pen had to have it’s own special ink that reduced alkalinity, and over time a selection of bright
colours was added to the range, the ink’s name eventually was called Superchrome.As with the old Parker 51
in the ink came with a warning that it should only be used in a Parker.
The Parker 51 was well advanced at the time, its hooded, tubular nib and multi-finned collector, all
made to work with the pen’s own special ink, allowing the nib to stay wet and produce an even line with either the
ultra-fast drying ink or more traditional inks.
For advertising purposes the Parker 51 was compared to a fighter plane the P-51 Mustang used during the second World war.
