This collectible writing instrument set features a vintage Parker 51 fountain pen and a matching mechanical pencil, both rendered in a distinctive teal color. The set is presented in its original, fitted Parker presentation box, which is decorated with gold 'PARKER' lettering and a logo.
Both writing instruments are constructed with teal-colored barrels and brushed metal Lustraloy caps, each topped with the iconic Parker arrow clip. This particular set is consistent with the Aerometric-era production of the Parker 51, a legendary model line originally introduced by the company in 1941. These mid-century writing tools represent a classic design aesthetic, with the pen and pencil coordinating perfectly in their dedicated display case.
The fountain pen measures approximately 5 3/8 to 5 7/16 inches, while the mechanical pencil measures approximately 5 1/8 to 5 1/4 inches. The presentation box measures approximately 6 by 3 inches. The set exemplifies the mid-century design evolution of the Parker 51, showcasing the materials and ergonomic styling that established the model as one of the best-known fountain pen designs in history.
