A pre-launch production aerometric 51 set with fountain pen and repeater pencil with plum barrels and frosted Lustraloy caps with gold-filled clips.
Plum was a new Parker 51 colour launched with the Aerometric range in in 1949. This plum set is pre-launch 4Q’48 production in preparation for the launch and comes in one of the new case designs for the aerometric 51. The plum colour was short-lived, only made for two years. The pen has a fine nib and the first version of the aerometric filler with the instruction:
TO FILL PRESS RIBBED BAR FIRMLY 6 TIMES
USE DRY WRITING SUPERCHROME INK
Both pen and pencil – and the case – are in excellent condition and appear to have had little use.
