Parker "51"
We sincerely believe that no other fountain pen has over elicited such
deep and widespread admiration as the Parker "51" pen.
Here is a fountain pen so coveted that some nations have awarded it
as a decoration for valour and meritorious service!
There is a reason for this and for the way the Parker "51" looks and feels in your hand. 68 years of pen-making experience have designed this wonderful instrument so that you... the writer... obtain a host of "intangible" found in no other pen. For example, its weight and shape have been calculated to a nicety so that you get perfect balance .... so important for fatigue-free long letter writing. The Parker "51" pen will give you decades of trouble-free, smooth-as-silk performance.
The Parker "51" has come to stand as a symbol of good taste to those who know and want the best in 'everything they own.
We earnestly suggest that you visit your Parker dealer for a thorough examination and trial of this remarkable writing instrument. What a wonderful idea for a distinctive and thoughtful gift!
