PARKER 51 SIGNET AEROMETRIC FOUNTAIN PEN

[@keithwhitney7491]

I have not posted in a long time, but I did really enjoy learning about the Parker pens of the 19e50 era, not long after I was born. Maybe those pens I purchased in 1971 or so (when I first practiced law, a senior partner told me (never checked, you do what senior partner’s tell you): You must use fountain pens for the signing of all estate planning documents, because fountain pen ink can be time-dated. He told me ball point ink could not. I never checked either. I went out and bought a Schaefer Fountain Pen, one I still have. :)

At last I know what the 'RU' stands for. A very classy pen, indeed. The new owner should be thrilled. Thanks for showing us. G'd on'ya, Wodonga!

We learn something new everyday Chris. Im sure they will be more than happy with it. Cheers.

@@penkino1 P.S. I forgot to mention a possible 'Signet'. Does one of Sheaffer's myriad of models share the name?

[@penkino1]

Mmm! I am not too sure Bruce.

[@sparkgsparks1736]

It certainly deserves that case ~ it's a beautiful example! According to Google there was a Rexall Signet Fountain Pen .....??

[@penkino1]

Yes it desrves a nice case. Thanks for the info.

A really lovely pen. I have one of these, much more battered and well-worn than this example, and I never knew whether it was a signet or insignia. But now I can say for sure that it is the early, signet variant. Thanks.

[@penkino1]

Its a lovely example. As long as you enjoy your pen then thats all that matters. Thanks
