Pen 2387 Parker "51" Full Size Aerometric $185 Withdrawn from sale
Midnight Blue. Lustraloy Cap.  Med+ nib

Overall Grade: ExtraFine
Metal: ExtraFine Color:  Exc CLICK FOR LARGER PIC
Nib condition: Exc
Clutch  perfect clarity:    NA
Point: Med+ Imprint:  N/A Size5 5/8" 14.3cm PRICE: $185 
COMMENTS: Whilst Midnight Blue commonly  is not lumped with the high-cachet colors Plum, Forest Green and Cocoa, in my handling an ever increasing quantity of 51's, that Midnite is well less common than I expected.  The cap is later style lustrloy quite frosty still and with no dings.  The nib looks like it has a broad point, but writing sample reveals full medium to medium+ line.  On "final testing" for this website update, i realise this one needs a bit more polish to the plastic before shipping. Do remind me.
