| Posted By: Carl Kibler Posted On: Mar 30, 2006 Views: 5242 | 51 is the better, 800 is good too My first Parker 51 was given to me by my father just a couple of months before he died. It is an aerometric 51 Special he originally purchased in 1953 or so according to Dad. It wrote okay after sitting unused for decades, but I sent it out for a good cleaning and nib adjustment and now it is one of the smoothest writing pens I have ever owned. I carry it with me everywhere and use it daily. It might be partly from sentimental reasons, but they sold 20 million of them over a long model run from WWII to 1972. Long live the Parker 51. |
