Yesterday, I was looking at one of my 51 vac fillers and replacing the whole filler(an all metal one, which works better than the standard one). When I came across the stamping of "Parker "51" Made in USA" Instead of what it should be, it reads

PAPARker 551

MaMade inin USUSA With overlapping stamps.

 

Is this common, and would this affect the value of the pen. :blink:

 

BTW its a 1946 first quarter production, jewled cap

Man, what a shame... it totally destroys the value of the pen... best send it to someone who does not care what the imprint says.... someone like me... ;) ;) ;)

While not common, I do think in the eyes of some collectors it might bring a premium, just like mis-stamped coins or stamps will... but most likely not at high a premium.

Hi,

 

Sounds nice. If you ever want to sell it, please tell me. :)

 

Misstamped pens are always special. I have a misstamped Vector.

 

Dillon

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

Hmmm do I see the Birds of Prey or maybe the Vultures gathering? :ltcapd: :ltcapd:

 

I would think that a "51" collector would pay a premium for a pen like that, best guy to ask would be Ernesto on Parker51.com. I have always found him to be generous with his knowledge about "51"s, if anybody knows he will :D

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
